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 '.
Coming back to this a day later because I was just reading an article about the killing of a dropsite contributor on dropsite, and I realized, they have editors.
So returning here:
Dropsite has it’s own domain.
It has editors.
But you don’t want to allow it because they rely on substack for the underlying publishing technology?
Yep and they’ve been tripling down on that too.
Seems like a whitelisting/ blacklisting system should be fairly straight foward to implement.
Yes, but like the mbfc fiasco probably just don’t want to have to deal with it. Or more likely don’t want to have to explain why some are on a particular list.
