Heated conversation about Lemmy.world MediaBiasFactCheck bot

lemm.ee YSK Lemmy.World is fundraising for a Zionist media lobby - lemm.ee

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. [https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F...

man while I have some sympathies that MBFC is not the best. And their left right ratings are at best problematic.
I’ve blocked OOP here on my account and I don’t take blocking lightly. So I imagine they’ve said some pretty fucked up shit or are a troll.
- I'm surprised he isn't banned yet. Is it just me or do I see a lot of Tankie shit on lemm.ee? Is it another lemmy.ml / lemmygrad / hexbear cesspool? I think lemmy.zip was another smaller one that had a lot of Tankie traffic. Or is that just a consequence of them somehow (?) not defederating from the Tankie instances?
  
  I’ve noticed some dodgy tankie accounts on both lemm.ee and lemmy.world
  I think it’s because the instances are lightly moderated and it is easy to make an account. So it attracts people who want to troll/bad intentions.
  Beehaw defederated from world because of this
  
  Lemmy.world and Lemm.ee both have what I consider to be an unacceptable number of authoritarian, both capitalist (fascist) and communist (tanky), on their servers and leave them up in the name of being enlightened centrists willing to hear anyone out. Sh.itjust.works used to be more Nazish, but I think they had a vote in their agora community at some point that's allowed their admins and mods to be more proactive than back when I had an account there.
  
  Should have been way back. They're in Europe. Created the account after October 7th. Apologize for Hamas on a regular basis. Tell people in the US to vote 3rd party or not vote at all. But no matter what don't vote for Biden/Harris.
  Obvious troll account is obvious. It's the same thing Russia did in 2016. Promoted Jill Stein as an alternative back then too. Is exactly what that account has been doing for months.

(Clicks to original post, looks at who OP is)
Ohhh, it's that guy (who has been banned on my instance for the better part of a year as a frequent poster of misinformation)
That whole post is a wall of crazy
- I guess at least now there is a thread I can link people to when they ask "Why do people say that LW are Zionists?"
  Everyone will then make their own opinions

Honestly it looks like a heated debate about the community bans of the OP of that post 😅
Honestly I think it is hilarious how people keep whining about lemmy.world being too woke 😁
- So what? I don't get why "being woke" would be a negative thing

I am shocked that Linkerbaan hates MBFC. Shocked.

All reddit.world users will face the wall
