The video I linked for reference

I guess I was “sympathizing with invaders” because I said “Such an absolute waste of life, just for the vanity of one man.”

Just patently ridiculous moderation…

    Does Lemmy even allow community mods to remove a post, ask a question, then restore it, like on reddit? If so, yeah, I’d suggest they try that at times, but I’d view them not doing that in this scenario as an imperfection rather than a form of power abuse.

      I mean, it’s not exactly a critical statement, yanno? Putting a distinguished comment and waiting a few hours before removing is also an option

        I think that, and even the expectation for them to do more than to remove (and let you repost with corrections), rests on the notion of your comment not being in violation of the rules, which is obviously in dispute here.

          Even with rule violations, there’s gradients. One can ask one to fix a mild rule violation in a nicer manner. I would know, I do it all the time.

            If it were a less sensitive issue, from the backseat I’d probably agree that the 24 hour ban was excessive, as it left no room for reposting with corrections from what looked like an otherwise well-intentioned post. If you reposted without corrections or posted anything else that’s in violation of the rules, then I’d probably ban.
