The other day it labelled the internet archive as biased towards centre-left. The internet archive - it’s like saying a stack of blank printer paper is biased. Beyond useless.

I mean reality has a left wing bias. I’d like to see someone cute their real world experiences and get the boy to say reality is left center.

Totally agree.

As a temporary measure, I have blocked that bot from my feed.

Is that thing still around? I thought it had been removed based on the feedback

Only one I saw removing it was news, even then it sounded more like removed until blows over

Mods already said they won’t remove it because they use it as a quick basis if articles get reported.

Which is kinda dumb because you could automate that client side without a community wide bot.

If they wanna have it, I’d rather have it link to a proper media aggregate site like ground news which combine both source reporting and published bias info from multiple sources:

Hi,

we have already a link to ground news, and we try to get api access to other aggregators, but all have reall high prices or just dont have the wanted data. ( We dont want to scrape it as it could get us in legal troubles )

Thanks for your suggestion.

It’s a bot that inadvertently reminded Lemmy’s that they’re far left

Far right people (MAGA) are so distant from the actual center that they see every leftist as far left. Yes, there are actual far-left communities (especially on Lemmygrad.ml) but the bulk of Lemmy leans mildly left-wing, especially by European standards.

Western Europe is left wing, globally. That’s a very west-euro-centrist attitude you have.
