The MBFC bot just lists that media outlets’ broad reputation and doesn’t use AI to fact check any specific article in any way.
It isn’t meant to fact check stuff that people post, but to make people think about the known bias of that media outlet.
edited: Ok, I redact my statement and edited my post about this bot but not about the idea. I don’t think this is a valuable service. The real problem with lemmy.world is that it is pushing state propaganda, poorly gatekept and not in alignment with my values.
I still do not want any type of bots doing any kind of bias check in which US point of views are considered neutral. This is social media for humans so I want what is posted here to be about us and what we are doing. Pictures of our gardens, what we cooked, weedtime memes. Posting links to imperial propaganda that needs a bot which is ad supported to do critical thinking for you is out of scope of what I want from lemmy and what my few friends who are users on this server want. Use sh.itjust.works if you want everything, it is a great instance.
Me personally I am tired of lemmy but there is a sunk cost here instead of cancelling this server I am intentionally making it smaller and easier to manage so that my friend can take over. If it just ends up being my 15 discord friends and federation turned off that is fine too.
