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.
Also notice how anything not far-right is "left biased"
Apparently the AP wire is a leftist rag. And the Washington Post has a left-wing bias. The fucking Washington Post. I'm pretty sure that thing thinks Newsmax is a Centrist organization.
Gotta love how Rooki was talking about how feedback was welcome, and then refused to address any legitimate criticism of the idea of the bot not being wanted/needed, and then proceeded to strawman the community. Childish behavior from a mod
lemmy.world mods removed the original post on lemmy.world because you can't criticize their Zionism. Only criticism of lemmy.ml allowed.
That is not what gets you in trouble. You and I have had this discussion before and I'm fairly certain you're aware I'm no Zionist, what with my personal connections in Southern Lebanon who have been direct victims of Zionist violence.
Where you run afoul of the rules is the whole "Zionist because of (insert 6 degrees of separation here)".
It's clear you're passionate on the subject, but to anyone else you come across like this:
Oh! I remember you, you are that Mod that removed someone’s sarcastic comment and called it something along the lines of “advocating for murder” and you removed my own comment for giving a good comparison on Israel government tactics which aligned very well with a certain political regime in the past.
You remove anything that is not to your liking. That’s for certain.
Holy hell you're annoying
No u
I wondered why the bot was getting down voted so much, and I had noticed that it was still ranking sites as left-baised even with factual reporting. This explains it. Thanks!
The concept that the center is particularly factual and unbiased is dumb. Left and right are biases, but the center is equally a bias against aspects picked up by the others. I'm frustrated by sites like ground news pushing this concept that equates left and right with biased and implies or even directly states that the centre is generally unbiased. It's just more bullshit from the "liberal" center.
A really relevant piece of information that everyone "should know" fortunately for everyone lemmy.world is not the only instance, so we can all block that bot and if the mods continue down that path, node users can move your contributions, communities and profiles to more appropriate instances
Would you recommend a certain way of migrating contributions, subscriptions etc. to another instance? Is it really possible for comments in threads etc.? I'm asking because I have a user on lemmy.world too...
You can move subscriptions and Blocklist from the settings (last tab)
Just linkerbaan things
You truly show up everywhere I critize Zionism. Is my Lemmy profile your browser home page?
Remember how this time last year the only people obsessively ranting about Zionists were right wing trolls?
The fact check bot is obviously problematic. But so is Linkerbaan
Zionism, like most fascist ideologies, has been a problem since it started.
I suppose in a roundabout way the fascists facilitated the creation of a Jewish state by trying to exterminate the Jews. But I don't think Israel was really the end goal they had in mind.
Warning - full mask off holocaust denial below.
For any sane person reading this, please take note of how quickly we went from "anti Zionism is not antisemitism" to "the Jews did the Holocaust." Two comments.
Yeah turns out when you bomb half a million kids into the fucking Earth people begin to question your ideology beyond a few trolls.
What a fucking moronic take.
I remember a lot of people last year claiming israel is the most moral army in the world. Apparently you didn't appreciate them being called out.
The difference is that I engage with lots of other content besides right wing pet projects. Linkerbaan doesn't.
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?
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
https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.ca/post/22654336
reason: Cleaning up old posts for consistency. Violates rule 5. Not a poltiical community.
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.

Regardless of all the drama between OP and mods, I noticed I've been blocking l.w communities and users more frequently, to the point where they've overtaken ml and hexbear.
As the instance that most people find first (including myself), it was bound to happen - an influx of bad-faith actors, whether they be mods or users.
Lemmy dot world was host to all sorts of "but Lemmy ml are meanies" liberal posts whilst they had fucking ZIONIST FUNDRAISING? fuck this shit
Also yeah I know it's ironic coz I use this instance. I'm moving now. Fuck you Lemmy.world
Do the .world mods/admins run the bot? Or do you think they should have banned it?
A .world admin made sticky posts introducing the bot on their biggest news subs. Namely Rookie. So I'm assuming they run it.
Why are you complaining on other instances about the instance you’re on? Take the hit on losing your internet points and sign up on a new instance lol
Because they're a loser and keep getting rightfully banned.
Because the mods of . world remove and van criticism of them and they are not mods here.
Lemmy doesn't have karma btw.
I can't scroll and read the comments otherwise my app (Boost) crashes :( see a comment about a screenshot then it closes
Lemmy.world is the flagship instance of whiny liberals on the fediverse. If Bill Maher had a fedi account, it would be on .world.
Here's a screenshot of the thread on .world:
Damn, you’re telling me that the leftists were, are, and always will be, on the just side of history?
