We’ve had some trouble recently with posts from aggregator links like Google Amp, MSN, and Yahoo.

We’re now requiring links go to the OG source, and not a conduit.

In an example like this, it can give the wrong attribution to the MBFC bot, and can give a more or less reliable rating than the original source, but it also makes it harder to run down duplicates.

So anything not linked to the original source, but is stuck on Google Amp, MSN, Yahoo, etc. will be removed.

      Man, idk why you’re getting flak for this one.

      • Certainly world@lemmy.world posts had very little overlap with the Indian elections and their voters compared to the US elections.
      • I’m not sure the bot was around then.
      • I think wanting to combat misinformation is a good thing; my gripe has always been that I think the bot just does a terrible job at it.
