It's not tautological, especially as it purports to be a standard of truth. If it were tautological, that claim would be nonsense.
Anyway, there are other alternatives. I do know there was a time where you'd be heavily criticized on Lemmy for using MBFC, as they're fairly heavily neo-liberal/status-quo biased.
However, I'm not proposing to use one of those alternatives either though (though they may be better). I'm stating that the "MBFC says this" argument is pretty weak. It's not engaging with the actual content, or trying to check it. It's purely, at best, an ad hominem in an attempt to dismiss it, without concern for what it says. You're allowed to use your own brain on occasion. You don't have to fall back on someone else telling you if you're allowed to engage with something or not.
