This isn’t reddit, we don’t have advertisers we have to appeal to. Do we really need this kind of nannying? Can’t adults have adult discussions, even if they’re arguments that get heated?
I didn’t see the removed content, admittedly, but unless it’s overtly hate speech I can’t understand the need to moderate Lemmy as if it was corporate social media. Like isn’t the whole point that it isn’t?
I’m not sure the situation is improved by a faux authority figure coming in and shouting “we don’t allow slap fighting here!” They’re assumedly adults, so like… let them slap fight and just deal with the eye rolls from onlookers?
I guess I just don’t understand what benefit this kind of moderation is offering and I believe it’s a holdover from the corporate sanitized social media we’re used to that we can and should eschew.
I can’t speak for others, but I’d rather scroll past and ignore bickering adults than a flood of “removed by moderator.”
Not necessarily objecting or complaining, just expressing a viewpoint. Cheers.
edit: For clarity, I have not checked the modlogs so i don’t know the discourse that happened here. Obviously if somebody is only posting in continual bad faith then that’s a detriment to the community and they and their posts should be removed. Things have nuance and context matters, so I’m not trying to make any blanket statements here and acknowledge my potential specific ignorance in this scenario.
This is the part where this conversation goes off the rails. Removing everything under this. It’s not productive.

When it reaches this point, it’s removable, here it did:
