Also notice how anything not far-right is "left biased"
Apparently the AP wire is a leftist rag. And the Washington Post has a left-wing bias. The fucking Washington Post. I'm pretty sure that thing thinks Newsmax is a Centrist organization.
Gotta love how Rooki was talking about how feedback was welcome, and then refused to address any legitimate criticism of the idea of the bot not being wanted/needed, and then proceeded to strawman the community. Childish behavior from a mod
lemmy.world mods removed the original post on lemmy.world because you can't criticize their Zionism. Only criticism of lemmy.ml allowed.
That is not what gets you in trouble. You and I have had this discussion before and I'm fairly certain you're aware I'm no Zionist, what with my personal connections in Southern Lebanon who have been direct victims of Zionist violence.
Where you run afoul of the rules is the whole "Zionist because of (insert 6 degrees of separation here)".
It's clear you're passionate on the subject, but to anyone else you come across like this:
Oh! I remember you, you are that Mod that removed someone’s sarcastic comment and called it something along the lines of “advocating for murder” and you removed my own comment for giving a good comparison on Israel government tactics which aligned very well with a certain political regime in the past.
You remove anything that is not to your liking. That’s for certain.
I wondered why the bot was getting down voted so much, and I had noticed that it was still ranking sites as left-baised even with factual reporting. This explains it. Thanks!
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.
A really relevant piece of information that everyone "should know" fortunately for everyone lemmy.world is not the only instance, so we can all block that bot and if the mods continue down that path, node users can move your contributions, communities and profiles to more appropriate instances
Here's a screenshot of the .world thread:
Is that illegibly blurry due to techincal problrms or censorship? I'm dumb what conclusion should I draw from this?
Oh my bad. I'm guessing that Lemmy compressed the image. Let me upload it somewhere else.
Remember how this time last year the only people obsessively ranting about Zionists were right wing trolls?
The fact check bot is obviously problematic. But so is Linkerbaan
Zionism, like most fascist ideologies, has been a problem since it started.
Yeah turns out when you bomb half a million kids into the fucking Earth people begin to question your ideology beyond a few trolls.
What a fucking moronic take.
Dude, this is just going to get removed due to Rule 4.
I'm with you that this is a very worthwhile discussion to have, but this isn't the right community to post it in.
What's rule 4? For me the sidebar of this community is totally empty except for the standard visibility stuff, for whatever reason. Doesn't even show a mod.
But if this isn't the right community, what would be?
Ah, my mistake - OP's post was literally just taken down from Youshouldknow@Lemmy.world because they have a rule that prohibits "ideological" posts on politically charged topics.
I saw that OP had reposted but my Lemmy client didn't make it clear that it was to this instance, not lemmy.world.
Ah right, gotcha. Yeah it can sometimes get confusing when different instances have communities with the same name
Apparently only this is allowed
Ignore my previous comment - I was on your profile and saw that you had reposted, but hadn't realized that it was to this community rather than the .world one.
Don't mind me -- carry on!
That post has also been removed
https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.ca/post/22654336
reason: Cleaning up old posts for consistency. Violates rule 5. Not a poltiical community.
Regardless of all the drama between OP and mods, I noticed I've been blocking l.w communities and users more frequently, to the point where they've overtaken ml and hexbear.
As the instance that most people find first (including myself), it was bound to happen - an influx of bad-faith actors, whether they be mods or users.
I can't scroll and read the comments otherwise my app (Boost) crashes :( see a comment about a screenshot then it closes
Why are you complaining on other instances about the instance you’re on? Take the hit on losing your internet points and sign up on a new instance lol
Because they're a loser and keep getting rightfully banned.
Do the .world mods/admins run the bot? Or do you think they should have banned it?
Lemmy dot world was host to all sorts of "but Lemmy ml are meanies" liberal posts whilst they had fucking ZIONIST FUNDRAISING? fuck this shit
Also yeah I know it's ironic coz I use this instance. I'm moving now. Fuck you Lemmy.world
Lemmy.world is the flagship instance of whiny liberals on the fediverse. If Bill Maher had a fedi account, it would be on .world.
