Comment on Ban the MBFC bot

• Krono@lemmy.today ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Wow you continue to surprise me, I would have never expected this kind of communication to come publically from a mod.

  I think I have made my criticisms of MBFC fairly clear, and your characterization of my criticisms is an obvious strawman.

  But since I have your attention, let me try to rephrase the problem: Lemmy was built on principles of open source, transparency, freedom of speech, and community input. The MBFC bot does not follow any of these principles.

  In it’s current form, the MBFC bot is a stain on the integrity of LW. I urge you to make a change.

  The community has largely made their voice heard on the subject, as evidenced by the large number of downvotes on the bot and on your posts here. I urge you to listen to them.

    I like the MBFC bot. If you don’t like it, you can block it. And, you don’t speak for me or the community.

    Just that i write it to you too:

    We give you freedom to block anyone, anytime and on your disgression.

    Your criticism is just as said a loud cry about how bad mbfc is in your eyes.

    We urgently making changes but if those people who just complain and do not research and make informed change requests to us. We zse all of our resources just to tell you we are discussing it with the news and world community mods what other thing can we add and other things, like the idea of open source the bot etc.

    The votes are just the common ones. That arent blocking it, some even vote manipulation.

    I DO NOT say mbfc is allmighty god, and makes mistakes, thus we added a link to ground.news to let you have multiple opinions.

      You keep suggesting that I am uninformed and unresearched, so please correct me if I got any of the facts wrong.

      You keep suggesting that my criticism is just a loud cry, but this is just hand waving the problem away. You have failed to directly address any of my concerns.

      To add to my list of cocerns, here is a new one: Have you or any other LW mods/admins been paid by MBFC?

        There is no problem and your “concerns” are baseless. There’s nothing to handwave away because there’s nothing there.

  Yeah, go see his response in another part of this thread to my request to provide some constructive feedback if you haven’t already. It was all just the same bad faith misinformation about the bot and the data source. I even linked the sources for how it actually worked and no reply, just downvotes.

    Yes, he just accuses to spread misinformation and is a right wing propaganda bot, without linking any source of MBFC beeing super right propaganda machine.

    If i am honest i got other messages tell me it is a left propaganda machine, if we sum it up its a center propaganda machine. For me all this, screams just bad faith.
