Yeah, how much are the services of an algorithm geared toward maximizing outrage worth?! Gotta be something!

That’s fair, I appreciate the clarification.
The three quoted and linked articles directly state The Sun is the source of this information. Each relevant statement is in the quoted text I included in the comment, which can be verified at each link. The Vice article not only states The Sun is the source, it goes on to criticize them for being a rag, as quoted.
Radio Free Asia is the source of the bit about other foods being banned, not hot dogs. I have no issues there.
Hey mate, the original source isn’t the NZ Herald but The Sun. I did a little extra digging for another related post (because the mod got my knickers in a twist) which I’ll copy below. Do with it what you will, I’m rather over hot dogs.
The Sun, a tabloid rag with a history of false reporting, is the only original reporting. The other outlets are parroting them, some without attribution by simply stating “according to reports” like the above linked NZ Herald, or indirectly by attributing to a report which attributes it to another and so on, until it ultimately gets back to The Sun, like in this India Times article.
NYT: “Dictator Kim Jong Un has declared that serving the sausage was an act of treason, The Sun reports…”
Vice: “One thing to keep in mind about this report is that you have to take it with a grain of salt. It originates from The Sun, a tabloid that doesn’t have a ton of credibility.” -Emphasis mine because it’s funny-
The Mirror: . “One vendor, who is based in the northern province of Ryanggang, stressed that authorities have been monitoring them closely. The vendor told The Sun…”
Two people constitutes brigading? By that standard, you ought to ban the lot of us from .world!
I intended to respond but this lot beat me to the punch. The only thing I’ll emphasize is The Sun, a tabloid rag with a history of false reporting, is the only original reporting. The other outlets are parroting them, some without attribution by simply stating “according to reports” like the above linked NZ Herald, or indirectly by attributing to a report which attributes it to another and so on, until it ultimately gets back to The Sun, like in this India Times article.

Regardless, none of this really matters. This “call for commentary” appears to be your attempt to legitimize your moderation as we’re doing scarcely more than the bloke you banned for answering your request. You’re doing less. Should you be banned?
If you can’t be impartial, or at least honest about it when you aren’t, consider handing the job to someone who can.
Good thing I’m from the “safe instance”. Apparently two people with similar opinions from the “bad instance” constitutes brigading. If my eyes rolled any harder, they’d pop.
For the record, “arguing in favor of a fascist regime” also appears to mean questioning if this article is actually true. Admittedly, they didn’t do the best job. This “brigade” from .ml was an astounding two people, plus one who responded to me with a snarky comment.
Given the originating article was actually from The Sun, a right-wing tabloid, I’m a little skeptical. The Radio Free Asia bit was in reference to a November 2024 article about the crackdown on the other mentioned dishes. Not coming from a tabloid, I’m much less skeptical there.
Also for the record, I commented once in a .ml “Fuck Cars” post. Looking forward to seeing if browsing by all makes me a pro-fascist North Korean supporter.
They banned them for being a dedicated propaganda account for complying with their request. This shows two things:

Seriously, the most American article I’ve read today. Time for a nap, just after I scrub my brain.
Also because people like Musk are further empowered when no one is looking. I’m as tired of hearing about him as anyone but will keep reading until he’s in prison, dead, or at least not the de facto president of the united states.
Uber Eating your mum is a choice.
.ml isn’t all that bad. I see a lot of whinging on about being banned “over nothing”, but the thing about Lemmy is removed comments are logged. More often than not, they’re lying.
Only bit at uni and that was over two decades ago. I only use what I learned to produce technically correct yet insufferable Latin pronunciations to lovingly harass friends and family.
For any wondering, no, that’s not a coincidence. He is Marine Le Pen’s father.
Et cetera is similarly “et ketera”, unless you’re using Italianate ecclesiastical pronunciation. Then it’s “et chetera”, hard ch like church in English.
Glad to be of assistance. It’s like arguments amongst multiple ADHD children. The topic is always changing, nothing is truly resolved, and whoever was loudest, most aggressive, and talked the longest usually got their way.
I wish they’d actually send tots and pears after school shootings. At least the poor children that survived would reliably get fed at lunch.
The fucking USA has lost the plot.
Times like these make me grateful for you lot.
