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 '.

Tell me, what’s the most recent story and how long ago posted?
I’m starting to suspect that now that FlyingSquid is gone, the wildly nonsensical attacks have started against Jordan, trying to drive him out also. I’m interested in knowing why and who it is that is going to be left on the mod team once this process is completed.
Weird how it has no comments since everyone here is apparently sooooo invested in the story. Fascinating, huh?
It’s so bizarre lol. Everyone’s super invested in whining about the injustice still, and the replacement story you recommended has been up for 3 hours now.
I have made no secret I think that I don’t really agree with your moderation in some aspects, but this whole thing is some weapons-grade bullshit. It’s like watching Goebbels’s big lie in real time, and the weird thing is, it works. I can feel my own brain sort of trying to absorb “lemmy.world is pro-Israel” as a known fact everyone knows, just because the people are so insistent that it’s what’s up and so unwilling to waver from it.
The weird part for me is I know people in Lebanon who were struggling to survive under the previous illegal occupations by Israel, I’ve stated on multiple occasions that Israel has been committing war crimes in Lebanon, Gaza, the West Bank and Golan for DECADES now and if the average American knew 1/2 of the shit they do, we’d be up in arms.
But somehow that makes me a zionist? LOL.
Here’s a personal story… I had a Lebanese roommate for years, had bullet holes in his legs from being shot by the Iraelis when he was a teenager. He was here on refugee status, got his citizenship, I went to his wedding, he came to mine. We’re that close.
One of his brothers is a doctor in Southern Lebanon. Not this illegal occupation, or the one before that, I think it was 2 or 3 illegal occupations ago, it’s hard to keep track…
Anyway… it was a regular occurance that Israeli soldiers would show up at his house in the middle of the night, drag him out at gunpoint, tell him if he resisted he would be killed, haul him off to treat some Palestinian prisoner they couldn’t otherwise be bothered with, then dump him at the side of the road like so much trash when they had no more use for him.
Until the next time…
But I can’t tell that to the folks who are convinced I’m a zionist. Maybe I should put it up on a Substack blog first? 🤔
