There is no rule about ‘blog sites’ on worldnews. Jordanlund has made this up and proceeds to classify anything he does not like as a 'blog '.
WordPress is more of an editor than a blog. But because just anyone can set up a Wordpress site, we’e block that too.
So you block the New York Times, Time, Bloomberg, Wired, Vogue?
No, because they aren’t hosted on Wordpress. Different deal.
Personally though, if I were making the rules? I would block NYT, Wired, and others because of the paywall bullshit. It’s a wasted click to just get a paywall.
You are making up the rules as you go along so might as well block those too!
Anyone can set up a website. You should block those.
And when they set up bullshit “news” sites, we absolutely do!
Are you calling drop news a bullshit news site?
No, I’m saying they share a host with bullshit news sites. Until they divest from Substack, they’re off limits with the rest of Substack.
Just like NBC, posting to Twitter gets removed, because we aren’t hosting Twitter bullshit.
