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.

      Why would a news video be not allowed? Why would it not be acceptable to post a video by a news outlet?

        Videos have no accountability, anyone can post up a YouTube video.

        These communities specifically state to post articles only. Videos are not articles.

          What about videos by news outlets. Eg, the official channel for a local news outlet? Why would that be different than an article?

            No. No videos. We aren’t going through video by video picking winners and losers.

            Same for Twitter links, same for blog posts.

              So despite coming from the same source and containing the same content, this is unacceptable but this is allowed.

              I guess you are free to run your own community in whatever arbitrary and silly way you like. You might consider consolidating your rules - it would probably be a good idea to make sure that the rules on your sidebar are the same as the rules in your pinned post.
