“Hungary, strong country. Run by a very powerful, tough leader. He’s a tough guy. The press doesn’t like him because he’s tough. Viktor Orbán, prime minister of Hungary, very tough man,” Trump said in his speech.

This almost gave me a brain aneurysm. It’s like the orange doofus takes two words and scrambles it in a random sequence of sentences while being incapable of adding extra information.

The press doesn’t like him because he’s tough.

Orban is a bitch boy who never gives interviews to press he doesn’t personally own.

But even if he actually was tough, it’s pretty horrible that Trump thinks that “tough” and “good leader” are the same thing. Pol Pot was tough. He was a guerilla fighter in his youth. He ruled with an iron fist and killed up to 2 million people. That would be “tough” from a Trump perspective. He would tout Pol Pot’s strong leadership.

Why is this bot always getting downvoted? It’s just providing information.

FundMECFSResearch OP ,

Because the information is quite badly sourced in some ways and includes a lot of caveats. And the moderators of the subreddit have not added said caveats to the bot message.

There are some who say it’s biased itself. I have not investigated it further.

All bots are annoying. They take screen real estate and lures me into otherwise empty comment sections. I should block it, but I haven’t, because it is sometimes useful.

It might be better if it only posted when summoned by someone.

Maybe Lemmy could support bot posts a bit more organically, so they could be excluded from comment counts, or given a dedicated section. Eg. there could be a way to add this info to all community posts automatically.

TBH this whole bot thing seems like a Reddit holdover where people had no control over the platform.
