    The bot is an annoyance, especially since mbfc is actually biased.

        That’s not sufficient.

        A biased fact checking bot should not be allowed to operate in a public forum, giving weight to it’s opinions as though it were a neutral source of truth.

        If you want its services, you can go to their website and use it. It shouldn’t be here.

          I think you’ve inadvertently demonstrated the problem with calling out media “bias”.

          as though it were a neutral source of truth.

          I would be interested to lean what, if anything, you’d say meets this description.

          Report it to the mods, if they consider it is providing “low-effort comments” (Rule 5) then they can block the bot from the community. Else you can block on your own user level.

            Blocking it at the user level effectively amplifies it, because then he doesn’t see and downvote it any longer.

        No. I’ll deal with it in the way that seems appropriate for the moment.
