At least 3/5 times, my post gets removed either because:

  • it violates some subsection of some dot point in those extensive sidebar rules that I didn’t study thoroughly enough, or

  • some mod decides it would be better if I posted as a comment in their dedicated mega thread on the subject, or

  • the Automoderator removed it without explanation, and the mods are all currently on holiday or too busy to GAF.

Anyone else have this problem? And is lemmy any better?

    I love the fact that there’s no “automoderator” or “amputator-bot” on Lemmy.

    That shit was obnoxious.

          It’s function serves moderators primarily. That said what you’re describing is a client side fix. Memmy on iOS already permits collapsing threads for instance

      There is not any technical reason that they don’t exist yet except that Lemmy is new. I think that may change.

      The whole reason for this big migration is Reddit taking away mod tools. If you think Lemmy isn’t going to support things like this then you are in for a bit of a surprise.

        I only agree with their comment in the context of how it was abused in many communities. Gentle reminders, !agrees, most of it was fine. There were some communities where it was just too heavy handed, regardless of moderation.

        There was a period of time where a few subs I participated in were just hostile to engage with. Having to essentially lean on innuendo to make a point, completely removing the entire point of discussion because it’ll just be removed for having no-no words.

        Not to make myself sound like some kind of crazed verbally abusive dogwhistling lunatic - I’m talking trying to educate people with basic human decency and empathy.
