Probably not far, we’re volunteers and don’t have time to read EVERY link posted. We respond to reports and, if we happen to catch something obviously infringing in our browsing we remove that too.
If you see a link in the feed that breaks the rules, report it and we’ll resolve it. I remove “stub” articles all the time that only exist to point to a video.
But if I’m looking at the feed and the source is “Youtube.com” or some other video site, that gets yanked with a quickness.
For the Dropsite news thing, that has come up before, and yes, we block substack for the same reasons above.
But like Twitter and Facebook, yes, there are legitimate news agencies that use those platforms, as there are on Substack. But opening the door to those platforms again introduces bias in moderation.
“You removed my shitty Twitter link but allowed this other one!!! WHYYYYYYY!!!”
We aren’t engaging in that. So no, no social media, no blogs, no videos.
For me, it’s all manual, I don’t have the ability to apply bots to the feed, you’d have to talk to the Admins about that, above my paygrade, which is “$0.00”. LOL.

So right now you manually scrub to enforce the policies? Oof. Brother, we can definitely build some basic moderation bots which could help with that.
