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?

    It was obviously an admin, because there are no lemmy.world mods in that community.

    “kinda see why” shouldn’t be enough of a reason for an admin to interfere with a community. If that’s happening, it should be for clear rule violations that can cause legal issues or bring harm to someone.

      Clearly an admin because the modlog event is marked “Admin” not “Mod”.

      But yeah, I’m not sure on the rules for brigading. I haven’t looked into it at that level as I haven’t needed to.

        I don’t think I’d call this brigading. For me that means you have users swarming a forum or chat room, whereas this is more of a request for political action.

        Their post wasn’t “spam CSIS & CBSA so they cant deal with any other requests”, it was “let them know how you feel”.
