Can you reword your comment to remove the word "retarded" please? Otherwise, I have to remove it as the admins have made it clear that this word is not welcome here due to its bigoted, hateful, and potentially offensive nature, and the use of the word as an insult is discouraged.

Received reports for the source-- as usual, these are evaluated on a case-by-case basis as FoxNews is not currently "blacklisted", it's just "not-preferred". After comparing this article to the one in the comments, they contain basically the same information and the conclusion is this particular post will be allowed to stay up. Many of the other links from Fox News have been taken down, not entirely because of the outlet, but because the content of the article went off the rails and did not match what other outlets had reported. If you have any discrepancies feel free to comment or tag me.

We respect that users may not want to click on links leading to Fox News, so as always we do encourage people to continue to post links to other outlets in the comments if you disagree with the source of any post (as ZephyrXero did here).

Antik is one of the admins of lemmy.world. He holds administrative authority over the entire forum rather than being specifically involved as a moderator here. He could have removed the comment himself, but he chose to request you change it instead (which I would have also done, had he not already handled it).

As a moderator of this community, I'd like to express our shared sentiment. The use of the term "retard" as an insult is something we discourage. Its appropriateness in language has evolved over time, and it's increasingly considered inappropriate due to its derogatory associations, regardless of its original meaning. Language is subject to change, and words that were once commonplace are regularly perceived as offensive now. Regardless of personal views on the word, if the admins have deemed it unsuitable for use on this platform, it's something that we will also enforce.

There is an abundance of other words that effectively convey your message.

Our stance is that we prefer if people use other outlets if the same story is available elsewhere, although it isn't outright blacklisted (at this time).

We skimmed this article and the article posted above from BBC, and they contain basically the same information so we are leaving it up as it seems this article wasn't written in bad faith.

That said, we do understand that users do not want to click Fox News links and support them.

This is a constant talking point between the mods that is actively monitored and discussed on whether we should continue to allow it, but for the time being, we are just doing our best to encourage users to use other outlets and reading the articles and comparing them to what other outlets have reported to ensure they aren't misleading or reporting incorrect information before we decide to leave it up.

Fox News is indeed on our list of "not-preferred" sources, although not blacklisted currently. The cocept basically started with this chart, and us determining that we'd prefer if this community didn't constantly have posts from some of the most biased outlets out there, and really began as "we prefer if you use sources that aren't in the furthest left and furthest right columns", and we encourage users to only use sources from those columns if they're unable to find the same story from a different outlet. We needed to set something up in stone though, so as I said, there is a blacklist, but it's not extensive at this point in time but will regularly be updated as needed.

All of that said, I googled the article title and quickly found multiple other stories on this, but most of the top ones either linked to the Fox News article or to a Fox News local subsidiary with essentially the same article. Upon reading a few other ones, it appears this link and those contain basically the same content, so I'll leave this one up.

Most of these will have to be evaluated like above on a case-by-case basis, but again for anyone reading this, we prefer if you find another news outlet (and that isn't just Fox News).

Edit - The blacklist is open for users to view here, and the bot will automatically remove posts from any sources that are currently or in the future added to this list.

Edit 2 - Nevermind, the post/article title is incredibly misleading, the woman lived. Removed.

Not great, but good enough to check out.

This seems to be the floor for Apple TV shows, with the ceiling being "this is absolutely incredible". The quality of their shows (again, from the floor) is really only challenged by HBO

The following teams still have not contacted me to be included in the sidebar. If you're a fan of one of these teams feel free to start up a community! I will help moderate it until more people come along to pass the community over to if you don't want the responsibility. (or if there is already an existing community please comment it for inclusion).

  • Atlanta

  • Brooklyn

  • Charlotte

  • Chicago

  • Cleveland

  • Houston

  • Indiana

  • Memphis

  • Miami

  • Milwaukee

  • Orlando

  • Utah

With r/nba closed indefinitely, more people will likely stumble upon this community, the best way to build a strong community, for now, is to also have fans and communities for all teams.

I would love to add them if there’s a way. If you see any in a different community let me know where

[-] Hurts@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I won’t remove them unless I get cracked down on by whoever runs this site and/or the NBA, go ahead

[-] Hurts@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Currently working on this, need people to comment their teams communities to be added though
