1. The mods here silently, without even notifying me, removed an ontopic non rule violating shitpost (literally just a screenshot) without giving a reason

  2. I made a thread asking why since they never gave a reason

  3. The mods said my original post violates “rule 2” (despite rule two being completely unrelated) said it was “inflamatory” (again, a screenshot from star trek) the title is “a persons name” (its not) and LOCKED the thread before I could ask for clarification.

Am I crazy or is this exactly the sort of arbitrary behavior we thought we were getting away from? What do ““rules”” matter if they can be interpreted to mean whatever a power hungry mod wants them to mean? They might as well of said “not seeking jamahron”

Ten seconds until they lock this too, despite it not being against any rules either…

    Why is it that, no matter what section of the internet you’re on, people that get moderated post this kind of shit?

    Like, if you got your shit removed in the first place, it doesn’t matter why. If the mods were power tripping, a post like this isn’t gong to last. If they weren’t, and it was a mistake, you’ve now been a dick, so a post like this makes your situation worse. If it was a justified action, then this kind of post just proves you shouldn’t be allowed in polite company, so it makes your situation worse.

    And it isn’t like you can make this kind of whiny shit and get people on your side. Nobody likes a fucking whiner.

    You aren’t going to get some kind of grass roots rebellion because that’s not how things work. The best you can hope for is an admin intervening, and the chances of that happening are only marginally better than it ending well. Most of the time, once you’ve wasted an admin’s time and energy, you just get banned.

    Dude, grow the fuck up. If you get a post removed, that’s the end of it. If you want an explanation, ask for one politely via private message or whatever, then wait for an answer because nobody out there works for you. If one doesn’t come, and you don’t like that, go start your own community and run it however you like. Fuck, this is lemmy, you can literally make your own instance of it with blackjack and hookers. Well, I’m sure getting hookers to use lemmy in their free time won’t be free, but that’s Bessie beside the point.

    Do yourself a favor and delete this post, it isn’t going to do anything at all useful for you.

      Dude look where you are, this entire community was literally founded because users were tired of mods being petty tyrants.
