@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.

    The post got over 300 upvotes in less than a day, I’d say it’s something many people would be interested to see.

    Edit: over 300 upvotes in less than 5 hours judging by the timestamp in the picture.

      For sure, and given that it is a politics com and not just a news I think such a post does belong there and clearly the members agree. Im going to lean on power trip.

        I’d say if anything. If you want a community that only allows news articles from trusted sources.

        1. You have to list which sources are allowed (fascist IMHO)
        2. The community should be named something like “PoliticalNews”

          What does a trusted news outlet even mean. For many people fox news is trustworthy although it lies all the time

            Agreed, it just means they can censor dissent and remove discourse on the community. But atleast they would be open about it.

            Also, there are plenty of news sources that I trust which take donations and are non-profits so to flat out say this is not a news article because it’s not from a news corp is in my honest opinion, fascism.
