We’ve had some trouble recently with posts from aggregator links like Google Amp, MSN, and Yahoo.
We’re now requiring links go to the OG source, and not a conduit.
In an example like this, it can give the wrong attribution to the MBFC bot, and can give a more or less reliable rating than the original source, but it also makes it harder to run down duplicates.
So anything not linked to the original source, but is stuck on Google Amp, MSN, Yahoo, etc. will be removed.
I can’t, it’s Admin level.
How come [email protected] was able to remove it?
The Admins removed it there.
Because the mods asked for it to be removed after user complaints…
Why is it admin level? Are there admins that tell you what you can and can’t do with the politics community, in this case? Or does the politics moderation team have the ability to ditch the bot if they decide to?
This is such a strange situation. If you’re stuck in that former position, though, it would make a lot of your responses in this comments section make a whole lot more sense.
The Admins run lemmy.world, we serve at their pleasure.
Sure, I could ban it, then likely get removed and have the bot re-instated, and what good would that do anyone?

Rooki is happy to remove it. Ball’s in your court.

Coming here randomly, interesting exchange
Hello @[email protected],
Is there any update on this? Rooki is ok with the community mods removing the bot, so this seems to be more of a mods community decision rather than one made by the admins?
Hey,
Would you or @[email protected] want to document this to [email protected] ?
If the admins need to micro-manage the communities on their instance, let them moderate them.
But that would be require him to give up his small made up powers that make him feel big
