One day you'll understand these two facts:

  1. MBFC is biased and arbitrary and most people rank them as untrustworthy. Caring about MBFC is a sign that you're bad at understanding media bias
  2. If people want MBFC's opinion on a source, they'll go to MBFC. This single-purpose bot is just spam.

No you don't understand, we use this bot to deem people as biased. Ignoring that all media is biased to its owners' financial interest and nothing else.

Hell Lemmy.world has banned active users posting NBC and CBS and other reputable news outlets because they shared them too often.

The mods who installed this bot act like its some major service, when all it does is enforce the shifted overton window and acts like news and trends isn't bought and sold to the highest bidder.

This bot doesn't improve anything, it doesn't make mods jobs easier, it just wastes energy like Bitcoin and AI farms.

Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
