It promotes the existing power structure, which some people think is no bueno.
For example, if you post this:
https://edition.cnn.com/2002/US/01/30/ret.axis.facts/
the bot will say it is a highly accurate source with highly factual reporting so people will tend to believe with certainty that the U.S. should invade Iraq.

The right to exercise national self-determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish people.
Aaahh capitalism. This is what business school graduates call "innovation" and "smart".
But seriously, I'm sorry that happened to you. It's predatory, abusive, and wrong.

more than 500,000 Israeli settlers living in the West Bank
I didn't know that over 5% of the population lives in illegal settlements.
Sharply more Americans than 20 years ago say antisemitism is a very serious problem, as Jewish Americans' reports of poor treatment exceed those of other faith groups.
It seems like the Jewish Americans are just reporting it more.
The number of hate crimes reported to police in the nation's 10 largest cities rose again in 2023, according to preliminary data released Friday from the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University.
...
New York and Los Angeles saw some of the largest increases in anti-Jewish hate crimes, rising 12.6% and 48% respectively, while Los Angeles and Chicago saw 40% and 300% increases in anti-Muslim hate crimes, according to the study.
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.
For example that red "no person" symbol. I've seen another one that looks like a redish pinkish "no message" icon. What do they mean and are there more symbols like that on Jerboa?
EDIT: While I do appreciate the input, it's surprising that there is no authoritative answer. The git also doesn't specify what these icons mean.
I'm using Jerboa and I sometimes see symbols next to peoples' username. One looks like a "no message" symbol, and the other looks like a "no person" symbol in red. What do they mean? Are there more symbols?
I've tried a web search but I only found results related to Motorhead and some kind of desert rodent.
Also, is it possible to search the content of posts on Lemmy? At least in Jerboa the search function seems to be only to search for communities by name. Surely someone has asked this before but I couldn't figure out how to search posts.
Thanks!
Edit: added an example of the "no person" icon
Narratives are created by more than just that, including what is reported on, how frequently it is reported, and what is not reported on. See Chomsky's "Manufacturing Consent" to learn more.
