Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?

Gedaliyah

What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?

Removed/Locked Posts

Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).

Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).

Deleted/Locked for being a ‘Substack Blog’. However there are no rules against Substack blogs and Erin In The Morning is on MBFC.

Deleted for being a ‘self post’. It is not, I do not run Transvitae or have any affiliation to it.

Deleted for being 'Substack blog. Please repost this story from a journalistic source. It’s an important story '. Erin In The Morning is one of the leading journalistic sources for breaking trans news and investigations written by a trans journalist, who is also the wife of a trans member of the Montana House of Representatives.

Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.-

It is unfair because these were valid articles that were removed for reasons not within the rules or outright fabrications. It silences awareness of systemic discrimination and violence against a minority group. Marginalising issues trans peoples are facing in an ever increasingly transphobic world because they do not come from large scale news corporations who would rather run articles against us.

    Their rules do list blogs, opinion pieces, and editorials as things they don’t want.

    Umm… and did you look at that MBFC you linked? Mixed in factual rating and medium credibility.

      Just wanting to point out that the medium credibility stems mostly from a fact check where there are multiply witnesses who in part even stand publicly behind their statements while the cops deny what they are accussed of. That results in an “unproven” verdict by Snopes.

      I dont trust cops at all, so I dont see are this as dimishing Erin In The Mornins credibility at all and maybe even increasing it.

        Expand rules 2 & 6, they also note they will use MBFC to determine credibility.

        The language for the rules are vague, which makes it easy to apply to anything they dont want for any reason.
