Edit: Even MBFC rates dropsitenews as a reliable source https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/drop-site-news-bias-and-credibility/
MBFC Credibility Rating: HIGH CREDIBILITY
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 '.
Wordpress sites are obviously real websites, but they aren’t news articles.
If you don’t like it, feel free to fire up your own community and enjoy all the blogspam that gets posted. (There’s a lot!)
News sites publish their content using WordPress. Similar to how news sites now host their content using SubStack. It allows journalists to do journalism instead of webdevelopment.
This used to be a big gatekeeping thing back in the day, with people claiming that WordPress websites are not real websites.
I will take up your suggestion about creating an alternative community as you are only doubling down on your nonexistent rules.

The rules are simple, no social media bullshit. Blogsites are a subsection of social media.
No Twitter/Facebook/Youtube/Reddit, but also no Substack/Blogger/Wordpress/Blogspot.
Similarly, no self posts, no videos, no image posts, no shit posts, no memes.
All of this is clearly stated. Don’t like it? Door is over there… ->
What rule even says “no news articles whose software stack is based on web content management systems”?
When I search “Youtube” or “Twitter” on MBFC, the website does not show up on MBFC. When I search “dropsite” I am told it is a news website with high credibility. MBFC must not understand what news is.
But interesting to know WordPress is not allowed. I do not believe anyone was aware of this rule before. Nor has it been enforced.
Also, I am still waiting on a response to your other claim. You cited accusations deeming anti-Zionist Latuff comics antisemitic. I have provided several examples of these accusations. Are you sticking to your original position?
