Since yesterday, Jordanlund is continuing to remove reporting like that from the reputed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_Site_News (article depicted in the screenshot is https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/israeli-spy-yoni-koren-stayed-jeffrey-epstein-apartment-ehud-barak) just for being hosted with substack. He is now moderating World News and Politics at lemmy.world. > Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don’t allow those links either. goodness, that is not the point. That means these outlets post to their own website while also reposting the thing on twitter. In so many cases, their own website uses substack/wordpress! For example, https://time.com/ is the official website of Time magazine, as in the publisher of Time Person of the Year. It uses WordPress, as you can see by going to https://time.com/wp-admin/. If he wants to target blogspam, he should be targeting things like The Daily Beast and https://www.utubepublisher.in/, which use none of the technologies he’s targeting. This ban on CMS technology is arbitrary and does not prevent poor publishing that simply registers a domain, as anyone may register a domain.
He’s an egotistical asshole when questioned, especially about substack hosted content.
In his eyes if he can find substack when searching the page it’s enough to call it a blog.
And according to the the admins of lemmy world this is perfectly acceptable if not encouraged behavior
He has been given full acceptance and approval from the admins of world so he’s also never going to improve.
He was removed from some comms but didn’t think worldnews was one of them.
And has been modding at least the last month
https://lemmy.world/modlog/2840?page=1&actionType=All&modId=1499846
Worst than that, they realize he’s the only one who will do exactly what they ask for and tons of free mod work
Yes that’s the issue
Note/FYI about Jordan. They are a massive asshole anywhere whenever they are questioned. Especially when evidence is shown that they are the one in the wrong, or in times substack is brought up, change until it fits what they want.
Even better is when they can’t even follow their own comms rules and are questioned🙃
I would suggest you lead by example but that’d fall on deaf ears
