Was having some nice discussions in the news instance regarding a post about the Columbian Presidents comments on cocaine, but the thread got nuked within the last hour.
I normally would move on, but this has begun to happen with more and more frequency. Not really interested in participating in anything that will just get removed based on some rando’s personal feelings towards a topic.
During the US Presidential election: Yes
Now? Not at all.
IMO, they thought they were helping keep the narrative about Kamala positive (and before her, they censored criticism of a man so clearly demented and being shoved down people’s throats that it was laughable) but in reality they were just enraging their allies, making them into lifelong enemies. You can never come back from giving up your integrity and dignity to genocidal corporatist demagogues no matter how bad Trump is.
I don’t see any threads recently nuked in News, and no recent modlog entries for you specifically (except an old one from 6 months ago where you called someone a pedo, and nope, I’m not digging up a slapfight thread that starts/ends there). You might also want to clarify which “news” community; I was only looking at the modlog within the last hour as described in the post here.
The post I think you’re talking about, “Cocaine ‘no worse than whiskey,’ would be ‘sold like wine’ if legalized worldwide, Colombia’s president says” was removed because it was old news (rule 5: Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days). That’s a long-established community rule, and it was properly enforced.
The only comment I see removed in c/News in the last hour isn’t from that post or by you, and was removed for “What the fuck?”. Considering the comment in question is:
NSFL
She was enjoying the dead babies a bit too much
…I think the mod made the right call.
Edit: Put quoted removed comment into spoiler tag with NSFL warning.
