@jordanlund@lemmy.world just removed my post from !politics@lemmy.world because the linked article wasn’t a “news” source.
The sidebar makes no mention of accepted news sources. And honestly, fuck that fascist nonsense. How the fuck can it be justified to remove posts from articles made by fucking non-profits?
I guess @jordanlund@lemmy.world is also saying that since they disagree with the premise of the article, it should be removed.
People need to be aware that !politics@lemmy.world should be avoided.
This is why I also posted the same thing to !usa@midwest.social
Trump is openly committing treason. He must be impeached and removed from office.
It’s jordan, power tripping, again, PTB of course.
For one, I agree with you, there is no rule that specifically clarifies that it must be a news article.
Like, if I had just directly posted the tweet where Trump publically declared Charlie Kirk as actually dead… well uh, that literally is news, but because its not from a journalism outlet, it probably wouldn’t count… even though I am just faster at breaking that news, and the journalists will have their articles out within an hour or two.
Sometimes, news is ‘breaking’.
Sometimes, news can be ‘broken’ by … not a news outlet.
This is apparently lost on Jordan, or, he’s too lazy or pretentious to bother writing more clear rules.
Anyway, beyond that, this is obviously ambiguous and vague and contentious as to what should and should not count as an article that can be posted in the comm…
… which means that enforcement of this rule is somewhat arbitrary.
So Jordan here then lists all his reasons why he thinks this thing people are organizing and calling for is dumb, and… that basically justifies the ‘its not news’ rule that is apparently being broken.
So, basically, Jordan censored because he didn’t like what you posted, and then tried to wiggle that into some kind of a broken rule.
It is incredible to me that he has not been removed by the .world admins yet.
Personally disagreeing with a concept put forth by a group… doesn’t make that group’s announcement not news.
Removing something just because you personally don’t agree with it… is literally the anti-thesis of free speech, an open conversation.
Finally:
… Did anyone else notice how he is referring to himself with the royal “we”?
… while we understand the sentiment … [liberal-splaining impeachment proceedings]
Yeah that’s right, Jordan is apparently a “we” now.
Petty Tyrant.
EDIT:
I am apparently getting a reply from someone who I’ve already blocked for being some kind of petulant hypocrite or persistent dumbass, so uh… I don’t care what they have to say, whoever they are.
=D
Basically everything jordanlund moderates is trash. Although this is not the most egregious example.
He falsely accused me of being “transphobic”. Then censored me and when I called him out either banned me sitewide or caused me to be banned when I was closing in on 2000 lemmy submissions. Then I later read how JL went to a trans community and acted like a jerk to the people there. Incredible. I’ve never posted to a trans community but if I did I would be fully respectful of the people there.
I returned to reddit for awhile and made a post about it. So because JL didn’t want a few people on a lemmy.world submission to read my reply to him, a much larger number of people on reddit have read my reply to him. And on reddit a lot of people don’t understand the difference between lemmy and lemmy.world, so this guy has done lots of damage to lemmy’s reputation.
They said they removed Jordan Lund multiple times recently. Stop giving them oxygen. They don’t deserve it.
That being said, this is objectively not from a reliable media source, correct? Whether something is an article or an op-ed is another subject for debate but this is a political mailer, not an article.
Show me in the rules where it says articles need to be news.
Sadly it’s only in jls mind
No they specifically said they only removed him from the mod community group because reasons.
And bold to think JL knows the rules of any sub he mods
