As I understand, It was a move intended to inspire discussion rather than having overreaching moderators knee-jerk remove posts/comments. It just wasn’t worded properly.
Yeah. Like, I do understand 100% that if someone says something in good faith, even if it’s disagreeable or stupid, and not harmful, is there really a point in removing it? Although , even then, I got banned from politicalhumor for “racism” for posting the following meme:
It was in a comment section and my joke was that Joe Biden legalised abortion. However they must have thought that I was posting it unrionically and was seriously claiming that Obama was a Muslim based on him being black, even though that it should be obvious that even the creator of the meme was parodying Facebook grandmothers
I’m pretty sure you should have been allowed an appeal. I believe it’s a “bylaw” of lemmy. Next time you feel you’ve had a comment unfairly removed or you’ve been banned for something you feel wasn’t worthy of a ban, reach out to a moderator of that community and just ask.
We’re not Reddit. Sometimes, misunderstandings happen.
