The news mod team has asked to no longer be a part of the project until we have a composite tool that polls multiple sources for a more balanced view.
It will take a few hours, but FOR NOW there won’t be a bot giving reviews of the source.
The goal was simple: make it easier to show biased sources. This was to give you and the mods a better view of what we were looking at.
The mod team is in agreement: one source of truth isn’t enough. We are working on a tool to give a composite score, from multiple sources, all open source.
166 upvotes, 27 down. Same thread.
Upvoting that post is not an indication of support for the bot.
Look at the comments in that post. Overwhelmingly negative feedback.
Nope, that’s not how it works.
There are instances that only allow up votes. There are people that will up vote any post by a dev as a show of appreciation for the effort, without necessarily thinking about or agreeing with the changes.
If you want a poll, then you have to do a proper poll. Up- and down votes are not it.
I want the bot gone but didn’t downvote the post. I support the mods reaching out for feedback, and also downvoting could decrease the visibility of the bot’s overwhelming negative reception.
Are you joking or something? Have you read any of the comments on that thread or this one? I really cant get how denial the mod team on some .world lemmy communities can be.
I read every comment. As I’m a mod here, I will only be civil, so I am keeping all my thoughts to myself. Have a good day.
And you have the balls to cite the upvotes on that thread as an argument when you know for a fact most feedback is against the concept of the bot itself? People upvoted that thread because the title made it seem the mod team was willing to do something.
…which we just did.
Edit: Downvoted for removing the bot like people asked. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
Sorry but you’re joining my blocked list. You don’t understand how any of this works if you think this way.
This is some extremely willful ignorance.
This is what you call “Not listening to criticism.”
