YSK Lemmy.World is fundraising for a Zionist media lobby
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
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 don't see anything on this user along those lines, plenty of other removed content though!

Your post got removed for having an offensive picture comparing Israel to Nazis.
Yeah, I’m not talking about the OP but someone else, if you want the specific user, tell me. I’ll have to dig into my own comments for it.
I know exactly why I got removed. It is not offensive because it is basically the truth of what is happening. Both Israel government and Nazi have the exact same behavior and tactics. Just different methods of what they’re using.
EDIT: it is this particular comment The removed comment
Whether it's the truth or not, a direct comparison to Jews and Nazis is offensive. I'm 100% glad your trash comment was removed.

Ah you’re one of those kind of people/ mod. Claiming that Israel Likud party is the same as being Jewish.
That claim is not true at all. Being an Israeli or an Israeli politician is not directly meant as being Jewish. Even actual Jewish people compare Israeli government behavior to the Holocaust, if you don’t believe me, I can show you many videos of it. The Likud party is Zionism and not Judaism (Jewish).
Whether you are glad or not doesn’t matter to me at all. However, I’m glad, I’m not on your particular instance. You are definitely not fit to be a moderator. Your behavior, the way write and your arguments are really… unsuitable for being a mod. I mean, you can’t even argue without being rude, hm.
It is very clear that you abuse your power of being a mod and remove anything that doesn’t suit your taste.
So explain why I'm banned from /news and /worldnews?
And also explain the MBFC push despite all the user criticism.
RE: !news@lemmy.world ban:
To be fair, Israelis are extremely European. In fact 75 years ago they mostly lived in Europe. They should consider going back. The problem here is that Putin was banned two years ago for war crimes and israel is not while it is committing a massive Genocide.
This is the comment that one of the mods (not me) banned you for. Now, I'm not sure that was worthy of a perma ban, so if you would like, I could reverse that one.
As for !politicalmemes@lemmy.world, I personally banned you there. The reasons are many, but they usually come down to civility.
If you would unban me I would appreciate that.
I have been banned for the rape hoax thing too I am very certain of that. Might not have been a permanent that time.
I've unbanned you from !news@lemmy.world, but with the number of issues you've had in !politicalmemes@lemmy.world, I find it hard to let that slide, without having an outcry of "but you unbanned them, and they did worse!" from others that have been banned in the past.
All I ask is that if you have a point to make, please do it in a way that you don't attack others.
I give them an hour until they claim someone "loves genocide".
You acknowledge this is a troll but you still unbanned them? I don't understand. Saying "Jews should go back to Europe" is pretty fucking offensive. Calling the Hamas atrocities a hoax is also offensive.
News, I can't speak to, I'm not a mod there. The note in the modlog simply reads "antisemitism".
World News it was because you repeatedly backed a group that uses child soldiers after being informed and told to stop.
Here's your modlog for bans:
https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=4&actionType=ModBanFromCommunity&userId=3867209
First page can be pretty much ignored, looks like it was undoing a wider ban than was intended.
The MBFC push is because we are entering a contentious election and the number of posts from specious sources is increasing.
Rather than have the mods fact/bias check each article manually, the bot was enacted as a timesaver.
The number of people complaining about it is a vast minority.
However, I did talk to Rookie about it. The #1 problem is many lemmy apps don't correctly proc the spoiler tag so the bot post ends up being WAAAAY bigger than anyone intended it to be.
So, first, I worked with another mod to determine how bad tag support is on the lemmy apps... it's actually pretty bad.

Second, I hit up Rookie to let him know the problem, he's taking steps to tighten up the bot.
The number of people complaining about it is a vast minority.
Probably because, most users/people never check the roots of the site itself. But as admins of a discussion website, you probably should?
Basing your trust upon something because it's aptly named "media bias fact check" makes you look like a gullible fool who tries to link "vaccinesfactcheck.org" to defend anti-vac idiots.
Domains are around $10, damn it. It doesn't make you have superior facts.
Having a check/truth/facts/reliable words on a domain name doesn't make it reliable or trustworthy.
Honestly, it makes you seem like people who'd download a sketchy malicious "Paypal Money Generator" from realpaypalmoneygenerator.org back in the days.
Do better.
MBFC is reliable, from a bias standpoint and a reliability standpoint.
The people complaining are the ones who are not having their own biases validated.
But I'll offer you the same option I offer them... Name another site that's better with a publicly available API for automation. I'm open to the idea that there's something better.
AllSides is great, but they only get into bias, and not credibility, which is a huge problem. It is possible to be highly biased and highly credible at the same time. Ex. Mother Jones. Nobody would say they aren't biased, they also produce excellent, high quality journalism.
AdFontes is great, but doesn't have a publicly available API.
The /news ban is because I debunked the fake Zionist rape hoax about oct7. Which has now been confirmed fake by the UN.
As for the worldnews claim, I was banned for saying the Houthis are not randomly attacking ships but to stop the Genocide in Gaza.
Which was used as an excuse to ban me under false pretenses because mod FlyingSquid was pushing Zionist propaganda that any group fighting against the Genocide of Palestinians actually has ulterior motives and nobody cares about Palestinians.
As for the MBFC bot, I have proven above and mentioned plenty that site is ran by a Zionist. Spamming donation links for it is insanely suspicious. News and worldnews already filter allowed posting sites using MBFC, nobody asked for its spam.
Oh so you’re purposefully taking the story and not reading/understanding it. “We think it happened but can’t confirm it” somehow becomes “they don’t believe it” in your mind. Gotcha
nobody cares about Palestinians
No, plenty of people do. Some illustrate that they definitely don't care about them, though, by calling for anti-Palestinian votes in the US presidential election. Every ten minutes.
Holy hell you're annoying
No u
