Ok, so, I crossposted the documentary “Four Horsemen 2012” to [email protected] and it got removed for not being “a solarpunk themed documentary” - all good, it was my mistake I didn’t check it’s a community for documentaries with a specific there/topic.
Then, I wake up to the message from the SAME PERSON ([email protected]) removing the same documentary from [email protected] which I assume is a GENERAL PURPOSE instance for documentaries about all topics. Their reason was: “I’m going to remove this documentary out of solidarity for Ukraine” even tho the documentary had NOTHING to do with Ukraine and doesn’t even mention it ONCE! I’m super confused. The rules for this community don’t even say anything about certain documentaries being allowed or not. What is happening? Ideological censorship?
Who Cares? Where’s the Drama?
I care. The drama is a biased moderator removing a documentary from the largest and general purpose instance and general purpose/all topic community for documentaries because of their personal ideology and biases. That’s not right.
Which, at this point is the whole appeal over reddit. The ability to not have supermods who control an entire platform. And the ability to call out shitty behavior from mods.
