Commented on a post with the most recent (non-Breitbart) headline and updates. Added this with 3 independent sources:
FYI, Breitbart is a far-right, low-quality source.
Mod apparently didn’t like a more reputable source being added to their post because it was removed in minutes lol.
reason: Rule 6 Violation
Rule 6: Using the Poisoning The Well fallacy to attack sources shared in a post is presently not allowed (this rule may change in the future, and isolated instances will not subject you to a permanent ban)
Just admit you want an echo chamber to spread disinformation and promote biased articles! Using this rule to police sources is very thinly-veiled censorship…
Agreed, but I was more diplomatic, simply pointing out the bias and the quality rating from multiple independent sources… Nope, immediately removed by the mod!
Diplomacy with people who enable that cesspool of a publication is going to be a fail, always.
They can be true believers, defensive idiots or trolls .
I’m glad your experience was more or less civilized, even if rude
