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.

    The Admins run lemmy.world, we serve at their pleasure.

    Sure, I could ban it, then likely get removed and have the bot re-instated, and what good would that do anyone?

      If the admins need to micro-manage the communities on their instance, let them moderate them.
