Anyone can put anything online, this isn’t unique to video
The “editorial oversight” of every major western media outlet has done fuck all to prevent them from publishing verifiably false information in support of US foreign policy over and over for longer than anyone here has been alive
The problem didn’t start with Bari Weiss and is not limited to CBS, you allow bullshit when it suits you and censor the truth when it suits you. You are a hypocrite and a coward.
I remove posts that break the rules, “truth” doesn’t enter into it.
If I allowed the rule breaking posts I personally agreed with and removed only ones I disagreed with that would make me the evil mod people accuse me of being.
Sucks when a good story gets spiked, but if you can’t source it outside of Youtube, Twitter, or Substack is that really a good story? 🤔
We can’t even say “blue checks only” since Musk fucked all THAT up.
The problem is that you’re looking for an easy system when none exists. You filter down to simple, easily by-passable rules, instead of curating your own system, and as a result, you’ve limited your community to news sources that new generations (and many older gens like myself) no longer pay attention to. It’s like polls that rely on cold calls, when only the boomers bother to actually answer the phone and waste their time on them.
Hell, I don’t even want Twitter because it’s just a bunch a two-sentence short-form nonsense from a known Nazi lover that has already forced any good elements of their community to Bluesky and Mastodon. But, outlawing video out of politics, when a major chunk of the population is getting their politics from video, is fucking wild!

Your methodology and priorities are laughable
We do remove other bullshit too, for example Tass, yes, they have editorial standards… from the Kremlin!
We’re probably going to start having a similar stand on CBS until Bari Weiss is inevitably removed.
That’s the nature of managing a community like this.
At the same time, the signal to noise ratio on video links, social media, and blogs is way, way too low to consider.
Are there good sources? Sure, a minority, but just because PBS has a Twitter account doesn’t mean we’re going to open that particular floodgate.

So no. No video, no social media, no blogs. Don’t like it? Start your own community. Enjoy the spam.

No notes, thank you for completely validating my every criticism!
Whoosh.

As a moderator, it’s not on me to develop a better system. I enforce the rules set by Admins and the people who created the communities.
In the communities I personally created, the rules are different.
