Okay so you admit there are sites on the block list

Bruh, you were the only one denying that.

and the mods are violating their own rule

Would you like to quote where 'their own rule' says that only sites on the blocklist will ever be removed?

Oh look, here's the actual rule:

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

The most I'm getting out of that is that they say the blocklist is actively updated, when it's not been touched in a year.

You become so anal about taking everything literally.

I'm sorry for seeing a difference between "What's the point of a blocklist that has no sites" and "What's the point of a blocklist that has a few sites". A normal person might look at those two arguments and come to two entirely different conclusions regarding the implications of each one; the former implying that a blocklist is literally serving no purpose (but is contradicted by the evidence in this particular case), and the latter decrying a blocklist simply for not being as exhaustive as you'd like it to be (which is a much less compelling argument than the former implication of literal uselessness).

You gonna clarify how Fox News being non-preferred relates to your argument, or nah? My guess is nah.

It contains four websites

You may note that "four websites" =/= "no websites". Advanced math, I know. Also, it's five websites, even if we exclude the link-shortener bitly.

and allows Fox News.

How is that relevant to your argument?

What is the point of the blocklist if it contain no websites

It literally contains several websites, as noted by your own screenshot in the OP.

and the moderators decide on the fly what they want to block?

A blocklist is not an exhaustive resource of unreliable sources that will not be accepted, it just hits the most common unreliable sources.

If the mods decide a source unreliable they should add it to their blocklist.

How long are you expecting the blocklist to be, then?

YDI. A blocklist is not an exhaustive resource of unreliable sources that will not be accepted, it just hits the most common unreliable sources.

Saurussy got me actin' unwise

I actually had great fun doing it, but I was getting a little frustrated by the time I said "Dammit, am I missing something? I need to look up if there's a better weapon or something nearby"

Whoops!

YDI, try not denying genocide

Me, going left for a good 3 hours at the start of DS1, not realizing there's a path to the Undead Burg: "Wow, these skeletons are really tough, I guess Dark Souls really is hard"

Fuck don't say this, I'm 30
