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.
Christ, he’s still a moderator over there? What a joke of an administration. Guess they expected us to forget how much of a dishonest piece of shit Jordan is, or that he’d somehow change his ways despite how obvious it is that he has no intention of doing so.
He has been given full acceptance and approval from the admins of world so he’s also never going to improve.
I don’t think it’s fair to single out Jordan. It’s the entire admin and much of the mods. .world could rework their rules at any time but they don’t. There’s a reason for it.
At this point I’m inclined to believe Jordan just is the admin, the admin is an alt account of Jordan.
Oh! Good point.
Worst than that, they realize he’s the only one who will do exactly what they ask for and tons of free mod work
he was removed from the modlists for 3 months now, and things have been just fine afaik, until two days ago when he suddenly started modding again
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
I was only removed from, I think 2 communities? Been modding the rest all along.
Yes that’s the issue
Not an issue when people follow the posted rules of the communities. 😉
I would suggest you lead by example but that’d fall on deaf ears
It’s the only reason, no one else would deal with this. I hope if I caused such a constant shitstorm my admins would remove me.
I’m nowhere near talented enough to be an Admin.
