  1. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

I commented that I am not sure @arlesh@lemmy.world even verified the story is even real. Instead of proving me with another source that the story is real, I was deemed a troll, banned, and all my comments removed. If this is how criticism is remedied, I am not sure what I want fixed.

        Because you’re pushing an alternate interpretation of rule 3, which explicitly notes the NYT as a valid source.

        If you want to question that, a standalone thread would be more appropriate, though a message to the mod would be a better first start. That thread, however, is 100% appropriate according to the current rules.

      I believe it was:

      Did OP even verify this was real news?

      I do not know how to look up my deleted comment.

      Are you saying stories on the New York Times web page have to be independently verified?

      Secondary sourcing is fine with me, as I am aware random lemmies are not journalists. But there is nothing to unsuggest NYT isn’t making a slop/fakenews. Which why I requested verification, from mod & OP.
