It can, though. There’s absolutely a group of people who found it annoying or problematic enough to block, but not enough to vote to remove it for everyone including the people who do like it. I did vote to get rid of it, but I’m not going to be upset if it stays because I don’t totally disagree with that view.
Also, give it a couple of days and spread the word that the poll exists so it can be the most representative sample possible, I don’t think it’s been up for 24 hours yet. Also, the same poll is up in other communities which also use the bot, vote where you’re subbed.
Warhammer 40k, and especially the orcs, always seem awesome whenever someone talks about it. But it’s way too expensive of a hobby for me, and I’m someone who used to have a rather substantial pull list at the local comics shop. Also I’ve definitely heard of a few people who are a bit too unironically into the Imperium politically.
But red make thing go faster!
There’s a pinned post right now where you can vote to kill the bot. I ultimately blocked it because it was at best useless - the sources I didn’t recognize it didn’t either, and I saw it endorsing British tabloids which is outright harmful. Maybe I would have liked the Wikipedia addition, because the spoiler tag works on my Lemmy client, but people already do this in comments in a more relevant way on an article to article basis.
There’s a picture of me as a kid holding a baby alligator. You can just tape their mouth shut, the jaw muscles to open their mouths are weak, it’s closing their mouth that can crunch bone. I’m not sure the gators like it much though, lol.
On a tangentially related note, check out Gatorland if you’re ever in Orlando. It’s a fun time and one of the few remaining old Florida tourist attractions and a perennial field trip destination for the local school kids, that’s why I’ve been there several times.
