I like the converts to metric bot on Reddit
Comment on Why are people downvoting the MediaBiasFactChecker not?
Don_Dickle@lemmy.world 3 months agoI have never seen a bot that does good. Got sick of them on reddit and other sites. So when I see it here which is my safe haven. I will downvote or report it because it has not place here.

out of personal curiosity, are you seeing this with the bots setting turned off? I thought that setting was a universal setting that just hide all bot posts for the account
Don_Dickle@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Yes I always turn the bots off whenever its offered.

Or you can just block it to hide it…

That’s what I said and was down voted for it. Oh well, that’s life on lemmy.

Fuck that…not getting on admins or anything but sites need to get rid of bots unless they pay the site. And also get rid of clickbait shit that I saw on reddit but not here yet.

So, because you don’t like bots, they shouldn’t be made available to others who appreciate them? Fuck that.
The beauty of Lemmy is that you are in control of what you see, but that makes that you have to control it. Stop trying to dictate that I can’t have bots from instances that allow them.

There’s a setting you can toggle on the web UI. I hope it’s supported on mobile apps.

Enabling that option will also have an effect on mobile apps.

The bot is made by the instance admins themselves, so don’t expect the bot to go away.

The bot was literally added by the instance admins. You think they should pay themselves???
