    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.
