No. Rule 2 is there for a reason.

If we start picking winners and losers among blogs, that's the bias everyone here is bitching about.

The only FAIR policy is no fucking blogs.

Right, and "any dipshit" can run a campaign ad for a senate race they're running in, and that doesn't count as "news" because it's in a video format. Have to give our corporate overlords the chance to process everything through their preferred lens, or to just ignore it entirely.

Their article meets the definition, as op outlined in the post.

You're rules say it's allowed by mod discretion

If we start picking winners and losers among blogs, that's the bias everyone here is bitching about.

Which is what constantly happens yet only you on the team have a hate boner for blogs

I think this is a crusade against substack more than an agenda thing.

Also can't post links to campaigns as that isn't news, even if it's related or relevant because it's not news on a political comm

Blue maga

At best, it's that the rules of the comm are biased towards corporate sites. Like, "we're not suppressing this story specifically, we're just suppressing anything CNN doesn't talk about and this just happened to get caught in that general policy of non-coporate suppression."

Just like real life.

Selective enforcement of ambiguous and arbitrary rules.

No, what constantly happens is bad faith users with multiple bans and modlogs for pages scrabbling to find something to complain about. 😉

Yes, and my discretion is no blogs.

Same on World where it says "opinion articles may be removed."

"May" doing some heavy lifting. Not "will", "may".

Ty for continuing to insult people!

Then say the rule is no not mod discretion

That would explain a lot

The Needle isn’t a great source. And that article has been well known to be AI written.

From the trans discourse I see, everyone has called out The Needle for this attack. The owner has a personal issue with Erin, IIRC it was from being knocked back from an earlier offer to work with her.

Umm

“Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack areallowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary”

Sites like SubStack are explicitly allowed?

and he’s someone who recently was featured on this community.

I like how you very conspicuously leave out how I was "featured on this community", because that would make your flimsy character attack completely fall apart.

Here's the thread I was "recently featured" in. Sitting at -8 upvotes, and the OP makes a clown out of themselves the entire thread as they get hit with overwhelming "YDI".

I think your main problem you have with me is that you're an anti-vegan, anti-environmentalist, anti-science, bad-faith troll who doesn't like that I moderate a space for vegans where you're not allowed to just come in and Gish gallop to try to discredit peer-reviewed environmental science. (Note: I have this thread saved after the last time explicitly because they love to show up and give the same canned disinformation to respond to this particular study, so I keep it now as a canned response.)

The reason clearly states that substack links are allowed, but personal/friend group blogs are not allowed. This person is a journalist; Journalists can have their own blogs, doesn't make them less credible.

PTB.

I'm neither antivegan nor antievironmentalist. calling me a troll doesn't change the facts

god I love that you keep showing this link to people

Zionazi TERF says what?

For as much as you love this uniquely annoying, disruptive pattern of replying to the same comment via multiple comments, it's funny that one of them wasn't mentioning the elephant in the room.

Namely that the thread you were talking about, deliberately taking completely out of context, and consicuously not linking to is about as clear-cut a "YDI" response as one usually seems to get on YPTB – with the OP spending the entire thread being so insufferable that everyone understands why they deserved it.

I'm glad you like me sharing the link, because apparently unlike you, I like sharing links to provide context for what I'm talking about.

No he clarified it's just there so he can say no

your insinuation that I deliberately withheld information is wrong. I just didn't want to spend any more time on it. you haven't provided such a link either. are you deliberately misrepresenting the post and hiding the truth??

are you deliberately misrepresenting the post and hiding the truth??

Sorry, did you miss the part where I said, verbatim: "Here's the thread I was "recently featured" in." Or is this more of your Trumpian "never play defense" pathological lying where you assume that if you just double down forever, you can't ever be wrong?

did you miss the part where I said, verbatim: “Here’s the thread I was “recently featured” in.”

yes

These comments are abysmal. The rule is no substacks unless it is part of a larger organization's story. You can disagree with the rule and talk about why it should be changed but applying a stated rule is not PTB.

Okay, honestly fair. Absolute respect for that. I made a worse oversight the other day and attacked someone who was doing nothing wrong because of it.

I'm cool with just stopping this argument here for right now.

Mate you also ban people from half the communities of lemmy.world if they dare criticise genocide or upset you in any other way. It's not a surprise lots of people get a ton of bans lmao

Is TIRF a thing? More my speed... Zionazi? LOL... Banning the folks arguing "Palestine isn't a country" makes me a Zionist? LOL.

Tell me you don't know anything about me without telling me you don't know anything about me.

Ty for continuing to be worthy of insulting! 😉

Modlog shows that you're lying, and I know all I need to know about you. You're a liar, and should be stripped of all mod privileges.

Correct. A campaign is not news, a poll is not news, YouTube videos are not news, Tweets aren't news.

You're super close to getting it.

A news article about a shitty campaign IS news and is welcome.

Here's an example of what that looks like:

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c6z981l59wnwo

Now, someone wants to link to Ramaswamy's campaign? Oh, hell no.

Link to the specific ad in question with no journalistic context? Fuck right off with that.

LOL - Says AngryCommieKender:

Well at least it only took them what 2hrs to start insulting users again. I'd post in lemmy.world support but they'd probably give him a medal or remove something else meaningless as a way to appear doing something

The rules either need to be redone because they are either overly complicated or intentionally convoluted to have this precise ability.

Idk what's funnier people okay with this or the mod in this threads behavior

disengage

Omg i thought it was just me. He crows so confidently about the rules as though they were laid down by God Herself, and are therefore inviolable.

Maybe listen to your community for once?

At a very minimum allow posts from people who are clearly journalists. Erin Reed is the leading trans rights journalist in the country. She publishes on substack because most major papers censor trans stories.

"The signal to noise is too high. Therefore, I will ignore a clear signal, even if it's completely unambiguous as a clear signal."

glad I'm not the only one who sees it.

feel free to block me to remove me from your Lemmy experience.

He does that while also either not knowing them or fully aware they're making them up. See him in this very thread

intentionally convoluted to have this precise ability.

DING DING DING DING

Jordan you are such a hateful loser it is difficult to comprehend how you are even real.

You make the Fediverse a worse place with your presence Jordan.

look you just need to read the rules. They are black and white depending on the mod looking at them
