YSK Lemmy.World is fundraising for a Zionist media lobby
Recently Lemmy.World admins have heavily started pushing an MBFC bot in their bigger subs despite it being deeply unpopular with the users.
However rating propaganda was not enough for the mods as they are now actively fundraising for MBFC as well.
Evidence MBFC is ran by a Zionist:
The bias towards any pro-israel lobby website on MBFC is astoundingly obvious. Take for example UNWatch. UNwatch is still pushing the UNRWA is Hamas propaganda despite it being fully debunked by every country.
Surely a website like this spreading blatant propagands would have a poor MBFC. rating. Let's check it out!
MBFC knows that UNWatch is an israeli lobby but just doesn't think that's very important for their credibility rating
For sites criticizing israel it works the other way around.
They do not have to fail any fact checks, just being designated as a 'hate group' by an israeli lobby is enough for MBFC to become a questionable source.
This is known to the lemmy.world admins and mods
Over the course of the last 9 months I have pointed out multiple times in public and private messages that MBFC is an incredibly bad source of ratings. Multiple other users have also made summaries for the .World mods and admins over the last week (and before that).
The admins have willingly ignored this criticism and now added a donation link to the MBFC bot knowing full well what MBFC stands for. Lemmy.World is directly endorsing the Zionist media lobby.

Dude, this is just going to get removed due to Rule 4.
I'm with you that this is a very worthwhile discussion to have, but this isn't the right community to post it in.
What's rule 4? For me the sidebar of this community is totally empty except for the standard visibility stuff, for whatever reason. Doesn't even show a mod.
But if this isn't the right community, what would be?
Ah, my mistake - OP's post was literally just taken down from Youshouldknow@Lemmy.world because they have a rule that prohibits "ideological" posts on politically charged topics.
I saw that OP had reposted but my Lemmy client didn't make it clear that it was to this instance, not lemmy.world.
Ah right, gotcha. Yeah it can sometimes get confusing when different instances have communities with the same name
Apparently only this is allowed
Ignore my previous comment - I was on your profile and saw that you had reposted, but hadn't realized that it was to this community rather than the .world one.
Don't mind me -- carry on!
That post has also been removed

reason: Cleaning up old posts for consistency. Violates rule 5. Not a poltiical community.
Thats nice.Lemmy.world still calls .ml tankies on the daily. Let's see if they can clean up that behavior or this is just for optics.
The "Zionist Media" is a big red flag as well. People can be called out for doing awful things without saying "all of them like that are doing it." This is kind of like hating all Russians because Putin is an asshole. I agree that there is something up at LW, I just can't tell what it is yet.
I mean considering CNN runs their stories by IDF censors, I don't think it's an unfair descriptive. But OP didn't call it "Zionist media" he said the "Zionist media lobby" which isn't the same thing.

That's one media source, not a cabal of "Zionist Media." It doesn't help anyone to have antisemitic overtones.
And the example in OP's post, and the New York Times lies about the attack, etc, etc. it's no fucking secret there's a pattern of complicity with the ziponist state. You're the one who's calling a Jew anti-semitic. Get lost Zionist apologist.
