Subbed. Thanks.
There way you worded this is hysterical.
I think I was being generous. That bot makes China’s great firewall seem tame. Those people (lemmy world mods and their uncritical users) are lemmings, slowly signing away more of their liberties to a bot because they’re either too lazy, smug, or both. The ones that support it will fight you about it. They think it somehow helps them to be in an echo chamber, exposed to only their tribe. They are literally PROGRAMMED to call you a bot if you even remotely conflict with their view. The people on hexbear are equally into the echo chamber thing. They banned me because I wasn’t leftist enough for them. 😂
Tribalism is so dangerous and stupid. It’s what got me to finally quit Facebook back in 2016 and now I have to see it here. Ever since governments have figured out how to achieve this kind of willing dupe environment, it keeps popping up everywhere free speech might find a way to peek through the cracks.
Anyway, nice chat. I really should get back to being a “Russian bot”.
👍 nice chat.
Coming here a few days later, has anything changed with the bot?
@[email protected] , you seem to have switched to [email protected] , are you not worried that as this instance is LW it would have the same issues as [email protected]?
Hi Blaze,nothing has changed with the bot. I have sent very extensive PM's to JordanLund about MBFC far before they made it a bot, as it is also a sidebar requirement for sources.
As for your other question; I got banned from LemmyWorld /Politics and /WorldNews because their mods want to censor the Democrats complicity in the Genocide in Gaza. They have also openly stated they introduced the mbfc bot because the elections are coming up. As mbfc almost perfectly lines up with the liberal-Zionist agenda (see Democrat) It's not hard to guess the reason for mbfc.
ProgressivePolitics is ran by TokenBoomer who has always aligned more with reality on the Democrats Genocide complicity. However some LemmyWorld admins most certainly share the views on /Politics and /WorldNews so it's very possible the LW admins will ban or hijack ProgressivePolitics.
Many mods also tend to get upset because there's a such a barrage of sludge by the Blue MAGA squad stalking my profile that they don't want to deal with it.
Thank you for coming back, I see.
Have you considered maybe posting to [email protected] ? That would ensure that LW cannot have any influence
So... They are outsourcing fact-checking to a BOT controlled by...?
Whoever controls the BOT can control what is considered the truth. If the people in control of the BOT have any biases, those biases will be programmed into the BOT.
I dont why people have such a hate boner for bots just turn them off in ur settings. First they killed the summary bot then they killed the bias bot just ignore it. Give the people the freedom to choose if they want to see it or not. Its kinda authoritarian to say u dont have the choice to see it if u want we know whats best for you.
It’s been a while but this comment bugs me. I have a hate boner for a bot that pushes and even codifies partisan propaganda. You’re damned right I do.
What is authoritarian is allowing a partisan bot to “fact check”. Reminds me of this: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/9/8/16257502/verrit-peter-daou-aweseome
