Since you asked:

  1. The bot provides little "value" vs the noise it creates.

I don't need a bot to tell me that the BBC is a legit news source. Maybe if you flip it around and only publish a message if it's a known scammy website, this might be less spammy. However, this "threshold for scamminess" would be very subjective.

  1. This bot is everywhere. This is closely related to the first point ("value" vs noise). It just sprang up one day and I saw it in every single thread, I'd read.

Fortunately, most Lemmy clients allow blocking users - which I've done and I'm much happier with my Lemmy experience.

And 3., the blurb it posts is gigantic compared to what you'd actually want to know.

Also 4. The media bias website has its own bias in that centre right outlets like CNN are classified as left.

Oh so Media Bias is from the USA and believes that anything that isn't Republican is left 😂
