This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.

Rules

Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.

Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.


Some acronyms you might see.

So... They are outsourcing fact-checking to a BOT controlled by...?

Whoever controls the BOT can control what is considered the truth. If the people in control of the BOT have any biases, those biases will be programmed into the BOT.

I dont why people have such a hate boner for bots just turn them off in ur settings. First they killed the summary bot then they killed the bias bot just ignore it. Give the people the freedom to choose if they want to see it or not. Its kinda authoritarian to say u dont have the choice to see it if u want we know whats best for you.

There way you worded this is hysterical.

I think I was being generous. That bot makes China’s great firewall seem tame. Those people (lemmy world mods and their uncritical users) are lemmings, slowly signing away more of their liberties to a bot because they’re either too lazy, smug, or both. The ones that support it will fight you about it. They think it somehow helps them to be in an echo chamber, exposed to only their tribe. They are literally PROGRAMMED to call you a bot if you even remotely conflict with their view. The people on hexbear are equally into the echo chamber thing. They banned me because I wasn’t leftist enough for them. 😂

Tribalism is so dangerous and stupid. It’s what got me to finally quit Facebook back in 2016 and now I have to see it here. Ever since governments have figured out how to achieve this kind of willing dupe environment, it keeps popping up everywhere free speech might find a way to peek through the cracks.

Anyway, nice chat. I really should get back to being a “Russian bot”.

Coming here a few days later, has anything changed with the bot?

@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world , you seem to have switched to !progressivepolitics@lemmy.world , are you not worried that as this instance is LW it would have the same issues as !politics@lemmy.world?
