News just came out that Nicholas Hoult is joining the season 2 Harry Potter cast.
I like him and a lot of things he’s been in and didn’t see it anywhere on Lemmy yet, so I posted it to lemmy.world’s News community.
Post was a link to the article that first broke the news, used it’s title as my post title, followed all instance and community rules.
Post was removed as “not news” and I was temp banned for “multiple rule violations.” Of course the mod can’t list what rules those would be, because it didn’t violate any of them. If the News community only allows posts on certain news topics then it should specify those in it’s rules.
This is actually worse than Reddit. At least Reddit has so many users that when mods keep doing things like this it creates enough drama that they stop or end up replaced. Lemmy mods seem to remove anything they personally don’t like and ban anyone who questions them.
For the most part, Lemmy does not like news that’s not political. IMHO if it shows up on the major news orgs, then it should definitely count as news. Funny how AP News can say something is “news,” but Lemmy won’t think it counts as news. lololol
But you have a great option: just start your own news community. Better yet, start an entertainment news community. Then post whatever the fuck you want.
You’ll get hated, and stalked, and accused of working for Russia and shit, but just ignore the haters. You may have to find a different instances or start your own, but do it! I think the more varied and weird shit on here the better.
And fuck the haters, entertainment news is news! Don’t let the bullies on Lemmy win. :)
