Recently Lemmy.World admins have heavily started pushing an MBFC bot in their bigger subs despite it being deeply unpopular with the users.
However rating propaganda was not enough for the mods as they are now actively fundraising for MBFC as well.
Evidence MBFC is ran by a Zionist:
The bias towards any pro-israel lobby website on MBFC is astoundingly obvious. Take for example UNWatch. UNwatch is still pushing the UNRWA is Hamas propaganda despite it being fully debunked by every country.
Surely a website like this spreading blatant propagands would have a poor MBFC. rating. Let's check it out!
MBFC knows that UNWatch is an israeli lobby but just doesn't think that's very important for their credibility rating
For sites criticizing israel it works the other way around.
They do not have to fail any fact checks, just being designated as a 'hate group' by an israeli lobby is enough for MBFC to become a questionable source.
This is known to the lemmy.world admins and mods
Over the course of the last 9 months I have pointed out multiple times in public and private messages that MBFC is an incredibly bad source of ratings. Multiple other users have also made summaries for the .World mods and admins over the last week (and before that).
The admins have willingly ignored this criticism and now added a donation link to the MBFC bot knowing full well what MBFC stands for. Lemmy.World is directly endorsing the Zionist media lobby.
The concept that the center is particularly factual and unbiased is dumb. Left and right are biases, but the center is equally a bias against aspects picked up by the others. I'm frustrated by sites like ground news pushing this concept that equates left and right with biased and implies or even directly states that the centre is generally unbiased. It's just more bullshit from the "liberal" center.
