I posted this article on c/politics and it was quickly taken down by mods. I was informed that the reason was

Rule 1, no social media or blogs

However, c/politics rule 1 states:

Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

I am curious if all substack articles are removed from that community, or just ones that the moderators disagree with.

    These are not the same as the rules listed in the sidebar, which I read and do not mention substack.

    I was not aware that I would need to read two separate sets of rules to be aware of what was allowed in that community. Perhaps those rules should also be in the sidebar?

      The sticky is a simplified list since people were not reading or comprehending the side-bar. Even with the sticky up, we STILL remove a bunch of trash posts. Images, videos, and yes, Substack.
