  • If enforcing instance-wide rules is an issue for you, I have bad news about any forums you choose to join in the future.

    Not only is it against instance rules, but the comment was reported multiple times for being hateful and offensive, if it doesn’t personally offend you that is wonderful, it doesn’t change the bigoted nature of the word, and that it does offend some people. I gave OP 3 hours to edit the comment before I removed it, if anything that’s quite the opposite of Reddit moderation, where you’d simply have a comment removed and receive a ban instantly.



  • Received reports for the source-- as usual, these are evaluated on a case-by-case basis as FoxNews is not currently “blacklisted”, it’s just “not-preferred”. After comparing this article to the one in the comments, they contain basically the same information and the conclusion is this particular post will be allowed to stay up. Many of the other links from Fox News have been taken down, not entirely because of the outlet, but because the content of the article went off the rails and did not match what other outlets had reported. If you have any discrepancies feel free to comment or tag me.

    We respect that users may not want to click on links leading to Fox News, so as always we do encourage people to continue to post links to other outlets in the comments if you disagree with the source of any post (as ZephyrXero did here).








  • To those reporting for rule 2–

    Please note that currently, content from NY Post is acceptable.

    As I’ve shared previously, this chart illustrates the foundation for the original rules, established prior to the implementation of a blacklist. We’ve mentioned a few times now that the middle 3 columns are “preferred”, while the outer columns on both sides are “less preferred”. It is also worth emphasizing that the assessment of these sources will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

    After reviewing this, and comparing it to an article on the same subject from business insider, it is my conclusion that I’d prefer the use of the business insider article over the NY Post piece. This is because the NY Post article, especially towards the end, tends to deviate more into opinions and subjectivity in contrast.

    As always, the blacklist is accessible to the public here.

    Edit - OP, please respond to acknowledge you have seen this and understand why your post will be removed and that you are free to repost using the other link.



  • Because the way communities came to be moderated on Reddit created horrible echo chambers between banning people for disagreeing views or forcing their own opinions/views down people’s throats via content removal, I wanted to grab them before the same terrible mods from Reddit did.

    > You are moderating both “Democrat” and “Republican”… lol…

    It’s almost like you don’t have to have entirely one-sided views and can moderate content without bias and without creating hate-filled echo chambers.

    If you’d like to participate in either of those feel free to ask, I’m not here to “power trip”.
