I created this post on my local server, calling for what I thought was reasonable action against a self-proclaimed threat to Canada.

Someone in the community disagreed (fine), and reported the post on their hosting instance (lemmy.world), which led to an immediate deletion of the post (on that single instance only).

Think is, I really don’t feel that it was warranted - and neither do most of the community members over on lemmy.ca.

I realize that instances are autonomous, but is there an appeal process to potentially have this reinstated?

    Looks like the reason given is:

    reason: Deceptive content. Calling to abuse government system.

    I’m not sure I can link to where that is mentioned, but you can see where I saw this by clicking on “Modlog” in the footer, changing the “action” to “Removing Posts”, and then just hitting the “next” button at the bottom until you see it. Right now it says the mod action was taken 2 days ago and I found it on page 3. But of course, as more actions are taken and more time goes by, both the page and “days ago” will change.

    (I’m not an admin or anything. Just weighing in.)

      Thanks. Some of the folks on lemmy.ca helped me find the results as well. It’s good to see an alternative angle on it.
