I changed the title because I assume that many people don't know who Ms. Simonyan is, and possibly don't know even what 'RT' is if they read this out of context. 'The Moscow Times' can do that as their readers might be familiar with these names and terms assuming they have some knowledge of Russia and, above all, they are visiting a Russia-focused medium.
When reading a community called 'Europe' on a general interest platform like Lemmy, however, I can reasonably assume that many people wouldn't understand the original title. This is why I changed it.
That aside, you may think before you type, and ask questions. If you then still see a reason for your tonality, then feel free to go ahead with this style and I'll like the block feature.
I think OP was upset about you using the word "slammed", not about dropping Simonyan name.
Mayve I misunderstood (if so, I apologize). What I want to do is to add clarity if I think it's necessary, but I don't change the original author's wording or something.
