minus-squareqaz@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up72arrow-down5·edit-24 months agoThe responses the admin who added the bot gave to people’s concerns when they announced it, weren’t that great. (Link) The Lemmy.world admin disregarded all criticism and just said people shouldn’t complain, after just asking for feedback in the post itself Example: What a terrible idea. MBFC is already incredibly biased. It should be rejected not promoted. Admin response: Ok then tell me an alternative we can use in the scale for free. None? Then pls dont just complain complain complain… And dont suggest improvements.
minus-squareIrremarkable@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up53arrow-down5·4 months agoAs if removing it wouldn’t be an improvement. MBFC themselves admit it’s nothing more than pseudoscience. The fact anyone actually takes it seriously is laughable, especially considering some of the sources they consider “highly factual”
