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…
At my understanding, you don’t address why your article is better than the one posted, and you only disqualify the medium where it’s posted and I agree with you, but that is against their rule 6. YDI.
Well, it’s absolutely your right to think that. But again, it was not my article, it was more recent, it was by the Associated Press, and I provided 3 independent sources that highlighted why Breitbart was a problematic news source. And, as others have attested to, it seems that Rule 6 only exists so they can selectively filter news sources to reinforce a narrative…
