And because it uses spoilers, when I click it to collapse the comment, it just expands
Comment on Why are people downvoting the MediaBiasFactChecker not?
ShepherdPie@midwest.social 4 months agoThat’s my gripe with it. Its single comment fills the entire screen of my phone when scrolling past and it uses gigantic font, a big separator line (?), and links mixed with text mixed with more links.
Additionally, it fucks with the “new comment” and “hot” sorting, depending on how active Lemmy is at the time, by spamming post after post with a comment even though there is no actual discussion happening.

What client do you use? It looks fine in Thunder. (I agree it’s spammy in general, but not because of the formatting.)

It’s broken on Eternity as well, it looks like thisScreenshot_20240809_023020_Eternity

I wonder if other spoiler tags work in Eternity or if there’s something about the way this bot posts that breaks it.

Looking at the buttons that they give me when I’m commenting it looks like it does support spoilers when done in the >!text!< syntax, but the other alternative version definitely took over

You should use a client that supports all of the text formatting. On Voyager the bot’s comment is smaller than most when collapsed (which it is by default).

Yeah, I’m not changing my entire client that I’ve gotten used to just to deal with a single bot that annoys me.
