A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Mod Log.

My post got removed despite it being from a reliable source (Ukrayinska Pravda- Media Bias/ Fact check.)

I am not looking to participate in a community where mods remove posts based on their feelings about the source, there needs to be a proof to the mod claim.

Why did my post got removed in this case?

How is the source unreliable, what is the mod proof for that?

That removal was bullshit IMO. I was puzzled and thought OP removed it himself, when it suddenly disappeared.
I'm honestly shocked that a mod removed it, apparently based on nothing but personal prejudice.

Edit for clarity:
https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/ is one of the best sources we have for what's going on in Ukraine. And in my experience it is highly reliable.

Honestly, I still think he saw “Pravda” and thought it was the state-run Russian Pravda and made his decision off that - and has been rationalizing all that ever since rather than admit a mistake. Look at what he commented on the deleted post:

Usually he is OK, I have no idea what got into him?

[–] geekwithsoul@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah, thought the same. That’s partly why I bothered to try and explain what was going on - it seemed out of character.

I think in these situations it’s best to message the mods directly rather than the community.

Welcome to the internet. IDK about the mods of this community specifically but generally there is no accountability.
