Wow I had no idea the LW team made this bot, how disappointing.
Do the consistant downvotes on the bot give you any concern that you are making a mistake here?
I always thought of LW as the "default" sub here on Lemmy, but all of this: the rightwing bot itself, 'please block the bot instead of downvoting', the thinly veiled threats of ban; all of it is pretty strong evidence you are attempting to cultivate an ideological echo chamber here.
Anyway, I'll continue to do my civic duty and downvote the misinformation bot whenever I happen to see it.
Thanks
The only thing we currently see is. Bot bad BAN!! BAN!! Its a threat to our democracy!!!! BOT BAD BECAUSE IT SAID MY FAVORITE NEWS SITE IS BAD!!!!!!
We dont see real feedback, just rants about MBFC and this doesnt get us anywhere. ( See your post )
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.
