I’m still unclear what the purpose of that bot is, and why everyone hates it. It always just says bias checking is unavailable right now.
Comment on What do you like/dislike about lemmy?

Like: decentralization and a renaissance of the old- school dream of what the Internet should be.
Dislike: media bias fact checker bot spamming every damn post. Power tripping mods.

I hate it because it shows up everywhere and adds nothing of value while displaying busy formatted text. If it lately shows even less meaningful content, that barely seems possible.

Are you not able to block it? I’ve blocked the entire community so I don’t see it much. You should be able to just like any other user… I would think?
Hawke@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
You can but it bothers me that it exists, shitting on everything.

Might i ask which mods you feel are power tripping? You don’t have to answer if you don’t want, no pressure.

I’d rather not. Not sure if you can view the mod log for other people’s accounts, but if so it’s easy to spot from mine.
I’ll say that I have some sympathy because dealing with internet randos is painful soul-sucking work and it’s easy to default to the ban-hammer, but…

My experience has been the opposite. I’m unclear what you are posting, but MY posts exist almost exclusively to entertain me, by saying my weirdst inner thoughts, and seeing how people react.
I regularly insult the concept of linux. I don’t insult the people who use linux. I insult linux itself. And people have…opinions…on that.
I CONSTANTLY call George Clooney a smug bastard.
And I’ve never been banned here. That being said, I avoid lemmy.ml. I hear they ban anyone with a different opinion than themselves.
Now downvotes? I’m unclear if I have more upvotes or downvotes! People don’t like it when you insult their precious wittle linux!
