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.I think it’s because of their charged wording:
Under this criteria (using loaded words) most posts here should be removed, I always look for news outlets that publish boring titles, but simply that is very rare that the community will be empty if it was really applied.
Recent example in this community is NYT:
That’s a general description of left-center sources, so that would mean banning this list https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/leftcenter/
Just scrolling through I found nytimes.com there, so that seems excessive?
oh yeah you’re right. I dunno why it was removed then. Best DM mods as to why, or see where this post goes.
still, you should aim for higher credibility ratings.
Yes, for sure we can’t have charged wording here.
You may be right, but it’s still complete bullshit.

https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/Not mod, but a Ukrainian source writing about Russian losses seems a bit biased to me.
You writing about your own opinion is biased too, does that make your opinion invalid?
pravda.com.ua is one of the absolute best sources we have regarding what’s going on in Ukraine.
The moderator is way way off to remove that as an unreliable source.They have a clean fact checking record and if the mod removals is based on bias alone, that will remove a high amount of posts currently in this community.
As I said, mods should not act based on their feelings, they should act only based on proof.
Would you trust the news coming from a russian outlet about ukranian forces?
That’s whataboutism and completely irrelevant.
Russia does not have free press, everything from Russia is propaganda.
So it is also a false equivalence.Also by that logic no Western sources are acceptable, because we are allied with Ukraine, and are biased towards Ukraine.
