My dynasty team in shambles

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).

I have no idea, I’m not an admin, you’d have to contact them about that. They can be seen on the lemmy.world home page.

No one personally attacked you here, but in the future, if you feel someone has crossed the line you can use the report button. However, with the admitted instance-wide ban evasion I’m not sure how much longer this account will last either.

Yeah, so you’re not banned here, I think you’re banned on the instance as a whole. Even when I log out of my account your profile says “banned” at the top, which wouldn’t show up regardless if you were simply banned from a community I moderate.

I’m not sure what your lemm.ee is (was), that link is just a direct link to the lemm.ee instance. I don’t believe I banned it, and looking through the modlog I don’t see any users of the same username banned within the last month at least, so I cannot give you an explanation unless you can give me the username and/or link(s).

I am going to remove it within the hour regardless, I’m just giving them the time to acknowledge this first and see that they’re free to post the other link before I remove it and they can no longer reply to save the effort of them messaging the mods asking questions.

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.

You’re all good, no worries.

Antik is one of the admins of lemmy.world. He holds administrative authority over the entire forum rather than being specifically involved as a moderator here. He could have removed the comment himself, but he chose to request you change it instead (which I would have also done, had he not already handled it).

As a moderator of this community, I’d like to express our shared sentiment. The use of the term “retard” as an insult is something we discourage. Its appropriateness in language has evolved over time, and it’s increasingly considered inappropriate due to its derogatory associations, regardless of its original meaning. Language is subject to change, and words that were once commonplace are regularly perceived as offensive now. Regardless of personal views on the word, if the admins have deemed it unsuitable for use on this platform, it’s something that we will also enforce.

There is an abundance of other words that effectively convey your message.
