MBFC Credibility Rating: HIGH CREDIBILITY
There is no rule about ‘blog sites’ on worldnews. Jordanlund has made this up and proceeds to classify anything he does not like as a 'blog '.

It is not a rule. Nowhere in the sidebar of the worldnews subreddit does it say that SubStack is not a valid source. Nor does it say anything about “blogs”. It says
And this is most definitely a news article.
JordanLund is using his moderator powers to selectively decide what is and what is not “news” at his own whims.

Worldnews ascribes authority to judge source validity to MBFC (which I disagree with, but let us put that aside).
Dropsite is rated highly credible on MBFC. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/drop-site-news-bias-and-credibility/

It say to only post news articles. Blogs aren’t news articles.
Hossam Shabat reporting about a genocide from Gaza is a “blog”? What lunacy is this argument?
These are not “opinion articles”. Dropsite does some of the most hardcore factual journalism out there.
Calling Dropsite a “blog” means you do not understand what the word “news” even means.
You were the one to bring up blogs, mate … but sure, if you say so.
It’s literally what Jordanlund cited as the reason for removal.
Jordanlund brought up “blogs” as a nonsense reason to ban dropsite.
