/c/Pics mod is going crazy removing posts for no good reason. Why? - Lemmy.World

Someone on [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [https://lemmy.world/c/pics] is (massively) removing posts with no good justification. They have removed: - **Removed Post “Bloody backpack of Iranian girl killed in US-Israeli attack on Iranian elementary school.”. **This was an image of a bloody backpack. It was well within the rules of the pics community. - Removed Post “Lemmy.today is absolutely beautiful” reason: Not a pic. IT WAS A PIC. The reason they gave is a lie. Absolute lie. - Removed Post “Talking positively about this person, on reddit, gets you banned.”. This was a post about Luigi Mangione. They don’t even give a reason for the removal of the post. It was, also, well within the rules of the community. There is no information on which mod removed those posts, but I am sure it was the same one, and I am sure that if you search for all of his mod actions, you will see many such removals. Mods going power hungry. I expected that to not happen on lemmy, but ya.

The rules very clearly say “no pics of politicians”, and certainly pics of a politician’s parents are in line with that.

It’s also possible that they’re just spam or reposts. I’ve seen the mural before.

I disagree with this. You can see in many of his removals that he did not even give a reason, as there is none. Why did he remove the post about Luigi? He is certainly not a politician, nor is he a family member of one, afaik. What about the one of the blood of a backback of an Iranian girl? Is a backpack a politician? Does it represent politics? Are death children politics now?

But more important than that, ALL of the posts that that mod remove had had over 100 comments. If you go to the pics sub now, there are 0 posts left with that many comments. He removed ALL the engagement. As it is, engagement is the one thing that Lemmy needs, to keep it going. That is the #1 thing we need, engagement. And that mod is just removing all of it.

Pathetic.

Rule 3 and 4. And that Luigi post was a manifesto.

it’s pretty ironic that someone called “theprogressivist” is going to so much trouble to silence dissent against the US regime.

Not at all. Follow the rules and your post won’t get taken down. Pretty simple.
