    Not an allowed source on there as it’s rated ‘medium’ by the Zionist rating site. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-canary-uk/

    X doesn’t necessarily have a better community. But the amount of censorship is a lot lower and there’s less arbitrary thought policing. (Though there have been reports of European users not being able to see pictures lately.)

      The rule says:

      Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

      MBFC says:

      Factual Reporting: MOSTLY FACTUAL MBFC Credibility Rating: MEDIUM CREDIBILITY

      I.e., not Low or Very Low in either of the metrics the Rule mentions. So, I don’t see how it breaks the rule.

        I’ve seen anything under “high credibility” get booted.

        Dropsitenews adheres to the rules too. They make them up as they go.

          I guess we’ll see.

          Dropsite, like Zeteo, is on Substack. Two comments up the thread I mentioned what I think about that.

            Occasionally they don’t remove Dropsite or Zeteo either. Similar to how they didn’t remove your medium credibility source. I’m not sure whether it’s moderators caving to pushback or the hardliners being afk.
