This seems like a cool bot. Why the downvotes, friends?
Because ironically the bias checking bot is biased. MBFC is pretty terrible, as evidenced by giving LGBTQ Nation a "medium" credibility rating.
Ah, the source sucks, gotcha.
That's exactly the opposite of what I was saying.
I meant that the source informing the bot about the website's leaning. It's a lot of sources, sorry for the confusion.
Oh, that makes more sense! Sorry for the misunderstanding :)
I came to the Fediverse to avoid all the bots. I'm an adult, I can handle determining if a source of info is good or not myself, I don't need bots to do the thinking for me. I'm here to interact with actual people.
The bot isn't doing the thinking, it's giving you context and info on the source which if anything helps inform your decision making.
As to general dislike of bots and wanting to interact with people I can't fault you on that, it's not like there'll be less bots moving forward.
You do realize there's an option in your user config that automatically blocks all bot accounts right?
Mbin user. I'm not using Lemmy. If there is, I haven't seen it yet. My comments are not originating from here. That only applies to people using the site directly.
You can go into your lemmy settings and uncheck the box that says 'show bot accounts' and you'll never have to see them again
