I just commented on this post and it got removed very quickly. Then I noticed that all of the comments had been removed and the post is locked.
I cannot understand why this happened, as the comments section had seemed pretty reasonable to me.
This seems like bad moderation and I’m now less inclined to post or comment in the world news community. What should I do?
I tried messaging a mod that is seemingly online and actively posting, but I got no response.
You move to another community or make your own. Mods have created and manage the community. Unless they break the site’s rules themselves, not sure why admins should interfere. (I mean unless they want to, admins own the instance so there’s that too.)
Remember what happened at Reddit when the admins were trying to force mods to do they want?
