      Because ironically the bias checking bot is biased. MBFC is pretty terrible, as evidenced by giving LGBTQ Nation a “medium” credibility rating.

      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.

          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.
