minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down14·3 months agoWordPress is more of an editor than a blog. But because just anyone can set up a Wordpress site, we’e block that too.
minus-squarewildbus8979@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up15·3 months agoSo you block the New York Times, Time, Bloomberg, Wired, Vogue?
minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down10·3 months agoNo, because they aren’t hosted on Wordpress. Different deal. Personally though, if I were making the rules? I would block NYT, Wired, and others because of the paywall bullshit. It’s a wasted click to just get a paywall.
minus-squaresnooggums@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·3 months agoYou are making up the rules as you go along so might as well block those too!
minus-squareirelephant [he/him]🍭@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·3 months agoAnyone can set up a website. You should block those.
minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down5·3 months agoAnd when they set up bullshit “news” sites, we absolutely do!
minus-squareirelephant [he/him]🍭@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·3 months agoAre you calling drop news a bullshit news site?
minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down4·3 months agoNo, I’m saying they share a host with bullshit news sites. Until they divest from Substack, they’re off limits with the rest of Substack. Just like NBC, posting to Twitter gets removed, because we aren’t hosting Twitter bullshit.
Is WordPress a blog?
