    No way, MBFC utter garbage.

    It is one random guys opinion and pushes pro-Zionist content. It’s extremely biased and unfairly rates sites all the time. To see it still pushed after the .world/c/world fiasco is disheartening.

        Mods put in a MBFC bot, everyone saw how shitty and biased it was and rallied against it, mods tried to say the admins forced them to do it, the admins said they didn’t, mods refused to change it despite all that. Eventually after like 6 months of sustained community outrage they got rid of it.
