My post got removed despite it being from a reliable source (Ukrayinska Pravda- Media Bias/ Fact check.)

I am not looking to participate in a community where mods remove posts based on their feelings about the source, there needs to be a proof to the mod claim.

Why did my post got removed in this case?

How is the source unreliable, what is the mod proof for that?

    Then why does Pravda say it’s unconfirmed? 🤔

    Again, nothing about this is “official”.

      Found the source again, and you are decidedly lying!!

      https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/09/24/7476472/

      They write the information is being confirmed, and it’s a translation problem. That means it’s being updated.
      It’s 100% normal military procedure, to confirm/update any incoming information as new information arrives. These people are NOT native english speakers.

      You are being an asshole. And you are arguing from ignorance.

        That’s the exact same source I’ve been quoting.

        The one that says:

        “Source: General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Facebook”

        and

        “This information is being verified”.

        Source is unvetted information from a Facebook page.

        You wouldn’t accept it if Russia was doing it, or if Israel was doing it, we aren’t accepting it from Ukraine either.

          Source is unvetted information from a Facebook page.

          I have personally shown you the link that proves the numbers are the official numbers.
          It has been explained very clearly to you that your claim is false, the posts on facebook are OFFICIAL by the armed forces!!
          That the numbers are being verified is a normal military jargon, because war is chaos, and the influx of information is constant.
          The numbers are verified for instance by flyovers, all military in the world do this!! These numbers are verified constantly, and what we get is a “snapshot” every day.

          For a period of almost a year, the numbers in English were ONLY available on the OFFICIAL facebook and telegram page for the armed forces. While the ministry of defense only posted the numbers in Ukrainian and without the graphics.

          You are being unreasonable and stubborn for some reason, chaotic yes, good no.

          Your claim is false, your reasons are based on ignorance, you are outright lying to support your claim and you are being stubborn as an ass about it. Even if everything you claim was true, pravda.ua is a reputable news source.

          You wouldn’t accept it if Russia was doing it,

          This is whataboutism ands a false equivalence, what russian source are you referring to? The Russian Pravda is state owned propaganda, and in Russia if a journalist even call it a war, they will be send to prison!!! Ukraine has free press, Russia does not.

          Pravda.ua is part of the free press in line with mostly every other western country.the article was demonstrated to be based on OFFICIAL data.

      Now you’re just being intentionally obtuse:

      Official Ministry of Defence page with the same numbers:

      https://www.mil.gov.ua/en/news/2024/09/24/the-estimated-combat-losses-of-russians-over-the-last-day-1400-persons-61-artillery-systems-3-anti-aircraft-systems/

      “Data are being updated.”

      Obviously a rough English translation and more precisely should probably be “Data subject to change” or “Data continues to be collected”.

      Just like any military stats are reported across the world.

      Honestly WTF?, please state your source, because I can’t find the link to it, because you removed it!!!

      I AM SO CLOSE TO BLOCKING YOU NOW; YOU ARE BEING INCREDIBLY IRRATIONAL!!
      Come to think of it, I think I’ll report you.

          Dude, really? Did you not see the links I provided from the official Ministry of Defense site or the verified Facebook account? The other news sites providing the same information?

          At this point you seem to only be arguing in bad faith because you don’t want to admit you couldn’t tell the difference between Russian Pravda and the Ukrainian Pravda. That was the only thing mentioned in your comment on the removed post, and everything since then has seemingly been posturing.

          This is so disappointing - I’ve been a vocal proponent of the job you mods are doing and supportive of your efforts to use what tools you have to help with a difficult job, and you’re just being completely unreasonable about this.
