  • Cause people are trying to give you feedback ...

    The feedback is "MBFC BAD, DELETE IT, ITS A THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY"

    No improvement idea? No... thats NOT feedback, thats just crying around.

    Something like MBFC NEEDS to be here, not all mods can fact check each and every news page and inform the users with it. ( This would probably get the same shitstorm like this because "THE MOD XYZ FACT CHECK IS BAD, BAN HIM, HE IS A THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY" will come up too )

    So what would you recommend? That is doable for free and no one dislikes it? ( Deleting the bot is NOT an option )

    If you have a better Fact Check page you trust let me know, i would LOVE to implement that into the bot.
    We were already thinking about making a "public" open source github repo where people could contribute their fact checks and trusted people review it. ( BUT this will get the same shitstorm like the previous 2, because some people have something against their news page being (in their eyes) "wrongly" fact checked and marked.

    Do you see the trouble the "MBFC BAD ewww" and no resolution is causing here?

    Please in the love of god ( or not god ) use the block button. I will lock these posts if shitpost comments like these are still coming.

    Sry, i am a little pissed, that no one sees the block on their website/app.

  • Thanks! MBFC isnt perfect, its made by humans and in their free time.

  • They have a point but strict fake news it isnt. It is not an option to leave it without any second bias opinion. Its not banning anyone. If you dislike it and demand it to be shutdown for democracy. Then you arent allowing other opinions.

  • Overwhelmingly negative? Those are the 24/7 negative users. We do anything: Those guys: THIS IS IS A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY

    So you stand alone in that statement. See the post vote score.

    We give you the option to block it. Block it.

  • Report abuse will be punished.

  • No we dont. We saw the expected "ReMoVe ThE BoT" comments, because MBFC did hurt their feelings by not rating their favourite newspage the highest creditability on earth.

    And just block it, then you can imagine how it is without the bot.

  • Thats your opinion. Thats the whole reason we added the bot. To give people a second opinion, if they need to trust it or even read it. Is on your own responsibility.

  • Yeah we are sorry for the inconvinience.

  • Thats yours, we endoresed every to block it when you dont like it.

  • See reply in support post

  • Sry this is a app issue. For now block it until the app developer syncs up the markdown to match lemmys

  • Are you going to "Comb" through it?

  • Everything that can be hid behind a spoiler is already in there. The rest is partially because of an agreement with MBFC.

  • Thanks! Your points are perfectly on target.

    If we had any other api with parity of media bias / fact check, then we would have included it, but we only see paid, no api available.

    But for now we have added a ground.news search link so that everyone can see a third opinion on it.

  • Hi,

    we now transfered the community to you.

    Thanks for your patience.

  • If you have a better format we will gladly accept it. But for every other non App UI it works perfectly as the spoiler hides everything away into few lines.

  • I will ask the lemmy sync to implement the spoilers.

  • This is sadly some issue where Apps dont have Markdown feature sync with the Website.

    We will think about reformatting it. But for now you can block the bot if it is disturbing your view.
    Thanks.

  • You got it. Thats the point. Its just advisory, not if its Bad creditability you will get banned.
