I made an admittedly editorialized post, but that is allowed. There is no rule against editorializing titles. The link was to this excellent story by Erin Reed:

https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/iowa-dem-josh-turek-releases-anti

The story documents the efforts of Democrat-in-Name-Only Josh Turek to graft Republican anti-trans policies and bigotry into the Democratic party. The (supposed) automoderator flagged the post and removed it for being a "substack post." However, it was likely a manual removal as I would expect automoderator to work quickly, while this was up for hours.

The rule cited was:

"Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading."

This article clearly meets this requirement. Erin in the Morning is an entire journalistic operation with multiple employees. I'm sure they're incorporated in some form. Erin Reed is the most prominent trans rights journalist in the US, probably in the world. She's nationally famous, has won numerous national journalism awards, and has a Wikipedia page. She frequently appears on national media and speaks at events of all kinds. She is one of the most prominent transgender people in the United States.

But apparently if you're trans, to c/politics, regardless of what you accomplish, you can never be a real journalist, only a blogger. Real journalism is for cis people only.

The fact that Jordan is STILL a moderator on lemmy.world tells you everything you need to know about lemmy.world.

This shit is pathetic.

    Honestly him removing the post in op isn't a surprise. What was when looking at modlog was them unbanning this wonderful user who is currently insulting Trans people in other comms after doing the same before their ban in unironicly another post about dems being anti trans

    Well at least it only took them what 2hrs to start insulting users again. I'd post in lemmy.world support but they'd probably give him a medal or remove something else meaningless as a way to appear doing something

    Jordan you are such a hateful loser it is difficult to comprehend how you are even real.

    You make the Fediverse a worse place with your presence Jordan.

    Is TIRF a thing? More my speed... Zionazi? LOL... Banning the folks arguing "Palestine isn't a country" makes me a Zionist? LOL.

    Tell me you don't know anything about me without telling me you don't know anything about me.
