Disclaimer: The issue here is not completely related to the bot presence, but more about the justification used. People would probably be less annoyed if the mods stated “this is our decision, and it is final”, rather than to try to use admins as an excuse.

For other threads about the MBFC bot:
.world has been acting sketchy lately
Only “lately?” They take down criticism of the US’ participation in genocide as “misinformation,” yet leave up hasbara. They perma-banned me from political memes for going against the liberal narrative for “misinformation and posturing” despite leaving up the Zionist lie that the Palestinian genocide is a 1000 year conflict. This is also when one of the moderators claimed they weren’t censoring anyone and were incredibly fair on a comment chain calling out their censorship, and refused to elaborate. They would not even tell me how I could edit my comments to comply with their rules.
I have seen people banned from lemmy.world for linking to the IHRA definition of antisemitism.

Yep, it’s 100% accurate. Even when I asked for clarification so I could abide by their rules, they permabanned me rather than answer.
The reason Lemmy.world censors anti-Democrat takes is because they are “true believers” in liberalism, real “end of history” types.
It’s difficult to understand the various relations between Lemmy instances without reading Marxist and Anarchist theory, because there are so many of both.
