Reason: Low-effort garbage
Is that standard boilerplate enumerated removal reason or is that personalized?
I even took time to italicise and bold certain parts of the title :(
I get that Heil Honey, I’m Home is controversial but its still worthy of inquiry; even if it wasnt, I feel like thats not really a decision mods should be proactively making, thats more curation and it sort of conflicts with the spirit of Lemmy and civil dialectical discussion in general
What a joyk?!

Got a removal for “rule 4” on one of the UK subs. Looking at the non-numbered rules on the sidebar, I think it correlates with “low effort, spam, or nonsensical post”. I’d spent a while writing it and suspect that the mod disagreed with the stance I’d taken on a hot button issue.
a mod of !usauthoritarianism@lemmy.world did some power tripping shit (don’t remember the context) and when I said “the mod of usa authoratism is being authoritarian lol” or something kinda like that I got this gem
iirc the mod got removed from the sub.
edit: found the context
holy shit, this deserves a prize.
what an oblivious douchebag.
Only once had my post removed, from !opisafuckingidiot@lemmy.world with the reason “Take a break”. Not especially offensive as a message, but also not a real justification since it was the first time I posted in that community.
But the post and screenshot was of a post by the mod of !opisafuckingidiot@lemmy.world saying something idiotic and been widely called on it. But when someone posted it to that community the mod deleted the post. I don’t normally get involved in dumb Internet drama (which is why this is the only time I’ve ever had an interaction with a mod) but the hypocracy of running a community for criticising Internet dumbassery while being completely unwilling to face criticism for your own mistakes was just beyond the pale.
I don’t know if this was weirdly aggressive, I probably deserved this. I was banned also.
I mean thats kind of funny in a way (very human) but what was the actual stimulus for that?
Oh man, it’s been a while. Without looking up the mod log to confirm, I think i was annoyed the person I was arguing with was bad at it. I probably said something very insulting for no good reason. I can tend to do that every now and again.
Honestly, I find civil skepticism is more than enough 97% of the time
I don’t even know how to check that
type in your instance URL then add /modlog at the end
Does this count as aggressive?
What even is all that markup?
It’s called Zalgo text, just search for a Zalgo text generator.
Is it just, like
perpendicular/verticalorthogonal superimposed scriptBasically it abuses the fact that Unicode allows combining of multiple characters in a single character space with offsets and rotations applied. Zalgo text basically takes a ton of random accent characters (E.g the squiggly above Spanish Ñ), which are considered their own marks, and combines them on one letter with lots of offset.
Is it just diacritical signs?
Yup! Unicode doesn’t put any limits on them.
I respect that
I’m uncertain as to the mechanics behind it, but that sounds reasonable
Does it count as ‘weirdly aggressive’ that I had a comment removed for an unsourced quotation? Because I was quoting the person I was responding to, directly in the comment I was replying to.
I dunno but it generally is good etiquette to more explicitly quote things think And it helps make context clearer
I’ve had one post removed: a photo of a motorcycle helmet, in a public coffee shop, on a ride that I went on with my mother. Reason: nudity…
I guess I downvoted too much? There were a lot of clickbait titles with zero description. I also upvoted quality posts 🤷♂️
I love the community, I just hate the posts.
It was personalized. It was because I deemed the specific post in question to be low effort garbage and not worthy of any further explanation beyond the massive amount of downvotes and zero responses.
I mean, it wasnt even up for very long so thats a tad disingenuous (the downvotes notwithstanding altho that doesnt really have anything to do with whether it was lazy or not.) We can all agree
Downvotes !!= lazy/stupid/garbage,per seAlso Where should it have gone, its a valid question that just happens to involve something unpopular or controversial. Its not a shitty ask because i clearly expected an objectively reasonable factual response.
Also Also How could something be lazy stupid garbage in a general ask forum and then magically ok even in something like NoStupidQuestions unless the lazy stupid garbage assumption is objectively arbitrary and perhaps overly personal?
Wouldnt the NoStupidQuestions people see what you saw and rightfully remove it under the same rationale or basis?
! NoStupidQuestions@lemmy.world would be a much more appropriate place.
Fair enough, Can you answer my last question tho? The fact you’re pointing out NoStupidQuestions + the much more gratuitous *MUCH more appropriate dig kind of proves my point, no?
NoStupidQuestions, much more appropriate [emphasis mine]
Why do you think the Question is (so) Lazy/Stupid/(Garbage)? Respectfully, that seems more like curating and making value judgments rather than moderating but I’m open to hearing your thoughts on why you believe thats not the case here (assumingthat chacterisation is accurate and you still stand by it)
The only removal I’ve ever got was that the formatting of the post didn’t work well on lemmy, which is fair, if you’re using jerboa, but they couldv’e asked me to change it instead of deleting the post. The content was good, it was just the formatting
I wouldn’t know. I don’t care enough to check
I dont really, just wondered why I wasnt getting any responses to the question
It’s usually just something pathetic like “trolling” because they didn’t like what you said.
