I’m not OP, but from the timeline it seems legit.

Timeline:

  1. OP posts comment
  2. Mod removes comment with no reason
  3. Mod post the exact same comment that was removed
  4. OP complains and shows a screenshot.

Edit: User says there was a reason-

My comment was similar to Stupes.

The reason for it being deleted was the same as his reply to Stupe

That means the mod removed the post because it was similar to an entirely different user and then posts the same thing as the user’s comment that was removed, 15 minutes later.

I don’t understand the why of this? I’ve seen him be great, what is the point of all this.

EDIT 2: This seems to be my mistake or OP was fibbing. Regardless, still a little weird, but feel free to go after me if you feel necessary. I apologize for the drama.

    I do think they’re ran by a corporation of some kind, but I’d lean more towards a social media company like Meta or Reddit. They power moved themselves as controlling the front page pretty early on.

      I would like to think CIA or NSA or security forces of some kind are definitely involved. Remember the 4chan leak and how many cia were in it. Yeah, I think there is a good 70% chance some kind of security force is involved.

        I don’t think so, because they care way too much about what’s being said and what reaches the front page. The politics community I run is again not making it to hot anymore after the comment you’re responding to was posted. Seems very reddity or facebooky to me. They were removing comments I made that they didn’t like as well. Could have been a rogue admin, people guessed right away who it was. Who knows though.

      Its about banning from specific sublemmy like news, politics, political_memes, and world such that only a specific world view is allowed to filter through, and frankly, Jordon Lund isn’t even close to the worst offender. By far, squid was an order of magnitude more editorial. Jordon’s got issues like his completely ridiculous on what counts as a news source (he bases this on the technology stack a site is producing content under rather than if they have an editorial review board or not), but as a volunteer mod doing a thankless job, I’ve tried to give them some grace when it comes to their actions.

      Its wearing thin though.
