    Did this bot label some people’s favorite news source as bullshit and heavily biased, or is there some other reason for downvotes?

    I personally like this thing and don’t understand the hate.

      I wasn’t one of the downvoters, but…

      It uses the spoiler tags in a way that a lot of mobile apps don’t recognize, and it ends up looking really ugly. It also shows as a comment on every news article, so it makes it look like there’s the start of a discussion when there isn’t any.

      I don’t know how accurate it is, but I do find comment bots kind of annoying in general.

        We don’t have any downvotes tho. Must be a bot or person with no life stalking bias bot’s comments.

          Just because lemmy.world or rather your client doesn’t support downvotes doesn’t mean that other instances also don’t support downvotes.

          Yeah you do, they’re just hidden. Either based on your instance, or your settings in your app
