Those of you who haven’t blocked the MBFC bot may have noticed it’s been updated to include Wikipedia contents:

As you can see on this recent post here:

https://lemmy.world/post/21264585

If your chosen Lemmy client (like mine!) doesn’t correctly support spoiler tags, it’s going to look significantly larger:

We’re aware of the size issue, that’s something we’re working on. I’m also told there are some artifacts like WP:NEWSBLOG etc. that will be fixed. WP:MEDPOP links will be removed soon in an update.

But given the update and the furor the last post on the bot caused, and in the nature of election season, we’ll put it up for a vote!

I’ll post two comments below, upvote one if you want to keep the bot, upvote the other to ditch the bot.

Voting will be open for one week from today! 11/1!

Why upvote 2 comments? Well, not everbody can see downvotes. I’ll only be looking at the upvotes.

Edit Voting has now concluded, as promised, I’m only looking at up votes, not upvotes minus downvotes and the final result, with an EXTREMELY CLOSE vote of 129 to 125 is to kill the bot.

I’ll get the request submitted ASAP.

It’s curious to me how much CLOSER the vote was in World vs. Politics, y’all seemed far ANGRIER about the bot than Politics.
