Edit: Even MBFC rates dropsitenews as a reliable source https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/drop-site-news-bias-and-credibility/
MBFC Credibility Rating: HIGH CREDIBILITY
There is no rule about ‘blog sites’ on worldnews. Jordanlund has made this up and proceeds to classify anything he does not like as a 'blog '.
Guardian isn’t “Questionable”.
“MBFC Credibility Rating: MEDIUM CREDIBILITY”
We’d allow that.
Which makes it dumber that dropsite is banned as it has a higher rating
Dropsite isn’t banned because of credibility, it’s banned because we don’t allow blogs. Full stop.
You could be the most award winning journalist in the world on Twitter or Facebook, you’re still getting removed because we don’t allow Twitter or Facebook.
Again it’s not a blog it’s a news organization
This entire post is trying to show you 2 things.
1 just add it to the rules that anything hosted on substack is banned for simply using a tech platform.
2 it’s a ridiculously stupid rule that isn’t at all thought out.
