So I stopped using a community do to a post seemingly being removed. Feedback on things is not great for what im working from now and im not good with using the modlog link areas and such. Now I had someone relate to me to post on this about that but im like. Nah seems like a drama thing. Thing is I have got 404’s what I assume is removed links and they seem like relatively legit posts. One was from stamets saying why he is leaving on casual conversation and I know that user is pretty legit so it seems like his and the others I have seen is based on mods not liking the content. So im writing here just to find out if other folks are seeing this. I mean we are the federation so can just move on to some other place. I may just now block communities that have a bs removal as I don’t want to associate with whoever is doing the bs mods. What do people think?
Adding some as I think I have issues getting to the point. My end questions are:
If people have seen heavier handed mod activity in like lets say the past month?
What people do about it?
This is extremely context-specific. But it would definitely be nice if posts were still accessible even if they were removed from communities, especially if there’s a difference between somebody breaking a community’s rules versus breaking their instance’s rules.
For example: you might have posted something that is otherwise unobjectionable but off topic in a community. The only way for a moderator to remove it is to fully censor not just your post, but also every comment under it.
This would help a lot. I found I was not even sure if my post had been removed and posted again and then guessed that it had. I could not message the remover and ask why or anything.
