    It was an honest question and no one asked me to clarify. The person I asked to elaborate was making a counter argument that authoritarianism isn’t inherently bad.

      It’s like asking “Why are you stupid?” and saying its a honest question. If it was honest question you would’ve asked “Is authoritarianism bad?” or somethin

      Well, then you did nothing to rectify it by following up with a snarky meta post.

      This isn’t Reddit. The mods here don’t have to play by the rules of some overarching central authority or supermods, and that freedom gives them the ability to have actual human conversations. Lemmy doesn’t have to be the shithole Reddit is, and it starts by thinking of each other as people, not nefarious agents out to ruin everyone’s day.

      If you feel the post was unjustly removed and you are in earnest, you should contact the mods next time, rather than trying to passive aggressively swipe at them.

        Why? Other people in the thread were being hostile toward me then they removed my post? Why would I want to interact with them, they are obviously poor at their jobs.

        The community is about asking questions which you might be afraid to ask elsewhere. This removal goes directly against their mission statement and it shows.

        Edit:

          I mean, you can be personally offended by that community if you choose, but you will likely run into trouble again elsewhere if you don’t advocate for yourself nicely.

          Just remember, this isn’t a reboot of Reddit, and it’s not trying to be Reddit. Lemmy is run and maintained by average people like us, imperfect as we are; people can be earnestly mistaken, just like questions can be in earnest but appear to be trolling.

          As we work to overcome these inherent communication barriers, let’s do our best to cultivate a culture of kindness and respect, yeah?
