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.

    there is no money involved for lemmy.world.

    we are not paying for access to the MBFC database, they provide this for us free of charge, and we also don’t receive any money from MBFC.

    the community PAYS for the admins

    this is straight up wrong, or at the very least misleading. LW/FHF admins receive zero money from any of the donations, all time spent is volunteered.
