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 '.
Blog, we don’t allow blogs.
IDK what I expected lol…
It is not a blog. I understand you along with the rest of LW mods are incapable of admitting error or saying anything along the lines of “Oh, you’re right, it’s clearly a professional news organization with credentials from the exact agency we have chosen to vet our news organizations, I didn’t realize that, we can allow it going forward.” So I won’t make the futile effort to expect that of you.
If they don’t want to be associated with blogs, they’re free to register a domain and go fully independent.
Is WordPress 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!
