I just don't get this complaint. Block the bot and you never have to worry about it again.

Linkerbaan is a shill. My guess is they're against the bot because it will call out their authoritarian propaganda.

Yeah, I'm aware of Linkerbaan and their repeated violations of lemmy.world sitewide rules. I just don't understand why other people are in such agreement.

To me it doesn't make sense to get rid of a bot that objectively helps everyone (any article is now easily read from a summary) with an extremely controversial bot, that they will not take suggestions or feedback on.

Sure you can block what ever bots you want, and id say that is the best solution. However, you can't choose to do that when Lemmy.world bans Autotldr and not mbfc.
