Mod Log.

My post got removed despite it being from a reliable source (Ukrayinska Pravda- Media Bias/ Fact check.)

I am not looking to participate in a community where mods remove posts based on their feelings about the source, there needs to be a proof to the mod claim.

Why did my post got removed in this case?

How is the source unreliable, what is the mod proof for that?

    You are basically judging by your feelings instead of proof.

    Those numbers are literally used by every news outlet reporting on that matter because they are believed to be the most accurate numbers.

    Anyway, I guess you are too locked in your power position to understand the problem in your mod action.

    I am not going to contribute to a community where the mod is building his kingdom instead of volunteering for the community.

    Good luck on your power trip.

      I’m not judging based on my feelings. If someone posted a link to the Facebook post that would also be removed.

      Saying “Someone said this on Facebook!” is how we got the whole “Haitians are eating pets!” thing.

      It’s not evidence, it’s not “News”.

        It’s pointless for me to keep telling you that this a official communication channel for the source to update people on the stats of the war.

        At this stage you are not just arguing against this article, you think that no reporting ever about this should be posted here.

        You are coping with the fact that you made a clear mistake here by focusing on the communication channel being used rather than the entity that is reporting the numbers.

        As I said before you are judging with your feelings.

        If you are not judging by your feelings, reply with a link discrediting the source of this numbers.

        Otherwise you are wasting time here.

        You know the Ukrainian government can’t exactly easily hold a press conference, right? Respected news organizations often reference those Facebook posts, but if you want, here’s essentially the exact same post directly from the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine website https://www.mil.gov.ua/en/news/2024/09/24/the-estimated-combat-losses-of-russians-over-the-last-day-1400-persons-61-artillery-systems-3-anti-aircraft-systems/

        Since you’ve decided to step beyond vetting journalistic sources and doing the reporter’s job for them, did you look at the actual FB post? https://www.facebook.com/share/p/3n2sU1rSuebWeFp4/?mibextid=WC7FNe

        Right from the verified page of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

        Comparing this to the BS coming out of Ohio is disingenuous at best.
