Got banned from suppressed_news for asking for a source
https://lemmy.world/post/47375566
I don't know how to see deleted comments but I said something like "is there a link here I'm just not seeing? This is a screenshot of a reddit post"
After looking at their profile I see that OP, the only mod, is a very pro-russia. Go figure lol
I don't actually care that I'm banned from a reddit repost community but I thought it was funny that it was the result of asking for a source

You forgot to ask for a suppressed source. Will report back once Im also banned.
(There is no rule on that sub about asking for a source)
Best of luck to you!
Your comment is gone - did you get banned?
I still see it there, along with a few other commenters.
Edit: looks like it finally got deleted 😂
People fleeing the horrors of war is a reality in every war. Here is a story from 2023 about Ukrainians fleeing to Romania. Having said that, the post in that community doesn’t seem to be about news — suppressed or otherwise — but propaganda.

Yeah, I'm not even doubting the story. I just have a problem with posting images as "news"
We wouldn't have to flee the war if russia didn't start it, so there's that
Ha, that's pretty funny in a semi depressing kind of way.
Have no idea why they've decided to ban you for valid question. Posting a few links could be the best responce.

I would accepted the link included in the subreddit it came from! Every other post I saw on there included a source.
That mod is a Russian apologist.
Without knowing the context, I'd say PTB, because they did a ban with removal, thereby hiding the validity of the ban.
Knowing the context, yeah, same outcome.
I just blocked them. Just another community I will skip. If they generate something worth seeing I will pick it up elsewhere. I doubt I will see anything useful there. Looks like a shill machine.
The Frank Sinatra post was news to me so I thought it might be good. Oh well
There many things about Frank Sinatra that were shady. It isn't suppressed news its just all history at this point. Few cared at the time and even fewer care now.
I am banned, too. Kek.
Looks like they ran out of posts to copy and paste from reddit so maybe it'll be the last we see of them
PTB
But weird to me that people use this post as a basis to go to another community and start doing exactly what got the OP banned.
Eh I don't think it's that weird. It's shitty behavior and people enjoy pointing it out.
Hopefully it's obvious I didn't intend for a brigade, though. Just included the link for reference
