Lemmy world mod asks for opinions on their blatantly biased fact-checking bot and gets more than they bargained for.

I think I was being generous. That bot makes China’s great firewall seem tame. Those people (lemmy world mods and their uncritical users) are lemmings, slowly signing away more of their liberties to a bot because they’re either too lazy, smug, or both. The ones that support it will fight you about it. They think it somehow helps them to be in an echo chamber, exposed to only their tribe. They are literally PROGRAMMED to call you a bot if you even remotely conflict with their view. The people on hexbear are equally into the echo chamber thing. They banned me because I wasn’t leftist enough for them. 😂
Tribalism is so dangerous and stupid. It’s what got me to finally quit Facebook back in 2016 and now I have to see it here. Ever since governments have figured out how to achieve this kind of willing dupe environment, it keeps popping up everywhere free speech might find a way to peek through the cracks.
Anyway, nice chat. I really should get back to being a “Russian bot”.
Coming here a few days later, has anything changed with the bot?
@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world , you seem to have switched to !progressivepolitics@lemmy.world , are you not worried that as this instance is LW it would have the same issues as !politics@lemmy.world?
Hi Blaze,nothing has changed with the bot. I have sent very extensive PM's to JordanLund about MBFC far before they made it a bot, as it is also a sidebar requirement for sources.
As for your other question; I got banned from LemmyWorld /Politics and /WorldNews because their mods want to censor the Democrats complicity in the Genocide in Gaza. They have also openly stated they introduced the mbfc bot because the elections are coming up. As mbfc almost perfectly lines up with the liberal-Zionist agenda (see Democrat) It's not hard to guess the reason for mbfc.
ProgressivePolitics is ran by TokenBoomer who has always aligned more with reality on the Democrats Genocide complicity. However some LemmyWorld admins most certainly share the views on /Politics and /WorldNews so it's very possible the LW admins will ban or hijack ProgressivePolitics.
Many mods also tend to get upset because there's a such a barrage of sludge by the Blue MAGA squad stalking my profile that they don't want to deal with it.
Thank you for coming back, I see.
Have you considered maybe posting to !globalnews@lemmy.zip ? That would ensure that LW cannot have any influence
My primary objective is raising awareness for the Genocide. I always try to balance between reaching the biggest audience and communities which most need to be informed.
For example the best place to reach conservatives on Reddit would be r/Conservatiive, however posting anything anti-Trump there would instantly get you banned. Same with Lemmy.World being the best place to change peoples mind. If there's not a bunch of mad liberals in the comment section I'm just preaching to the choir. The fact that I was able to post there for so long was pretty astounding to begin with.
This however turned out to also be a downside because many people coalesced around LW and needed no alternative. I never expected the Genocide to go on for this long so I never tried to establish in a smaller community from scratch, as growing a smaller community would take far longer.
I occasionally posted to Lemmy.Zip before, they are great their reach is not nearly the same. I try spreading my posts around a bit more now because there's always a triggered mod somewhere. Thanks for reminding me of .Zip though! I kind of forgot about them again.

Indeed
I occasionally posted to Lemmy.Zip before, they are great their reach is not nearly the same.
In an ideal world, people upset with the MBFC bot would turn to the lemmy.zip community, but I'm not seeing this happening any time soon
