The moderators have a source blocklist in their rule set. Mintpress is not listed in it.

    Okay so you admit there are sites on the block list

    Bruh, you were the only one denying that.

    and the mods are violating their own rule

    Would you like to quote where ‘their own rule’ says that only sites on the blocklist will ever be removed?

    Oh look, here’s the actual rule:

    Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

    Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

    The most I’m getting out of that is that they say the blocklist is actively updated, when it’s not been touched in a year.

      So I am right about the site not being on there and the mods stating their block list contains updated info on what they allow.
