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.

    “Oooh what thoughtful discussion has taken place on this interesting news article”

    “Oh it’s the bot”


    That bot is the main reason I’m mostly getting my news from !world@quokk.au instead now.
