Comment on Lemmy.World's !News sides with Mark Zuckerberg in Censoring Palestinians
PugJesus@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoMy point is just that banning The Cradle is not inherently an illegitimate move. You may not agree with it, and I honestly wouldn’t see the point unless someone was spamming The Cradle’s articles or editorials, but it is a legitimate point to consider that they carry water for Russian propaganda, and in allowing that source, misinformation multiplies and makes the mods’ jobs harder.

A appreciate your work demonstrating The Cradle’s support for the Russian state. It’s the first time I can remember seeing The Cradle posted on here, and in between being subscribed to these communities and my contributions to LemmyWorldDefenseHQ, I have not seen The Cradle spam as a reported or observed problem.
I’ve read the article, and I find it valuable. I’m alarmed that the Lemmy World !politics and !news mods have failed to demonstrate the pressing need for the ham-fisted gatekeeping and censorship regime they’ve implemented.
Lemmy.World is the largest instance, and !politics and !news are flagship communities. I would like to see the Fediverse overtake corporate forums, and learning to approach the spectrum of journalistic credibility with nuance is an essential feature of a better version of social media.
