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 "Zionist Media" is a big red flag as well. People can be called out for doing awful things without saying "all of them like that are doing it." This is kind of like hating all Russians because Putin is an asshole. I agree that there is something up at LW, I just can't tell what it is yet.

I mean considering CNN runs their stories by IDF censors, I don't think it's an unfair descriptive. But OP didn't call it "Zionist media" he said the "Zionist media lobby" which isn't the same thing.

That's one media source, not a cabal of "Zionist Media." It doesn't help anyone to have antisemitic overtones.

And the example in OP's post, and the New York Times lies about the attack, etc, etc. it's no fucking secret there's a pattern of complicity with the ziponist state. You're the one who's calling a Jew anti-semitic. Get lost Zionist apologist.
