My post was removed from no stupid questions for a rule 1 violation [https://lemmy.sdf.org/pictrs/image/59e084ed-ff4e-429a-a8c7-01031940fcae.png] The title was clearly formatted in the form of a question, and the question is actually about something real. Who at this community decides what isn’t a real question? What are the criteria, and why isn’t the OP asked to verify their question before a post is removed? Is the only criteria for a rule 1 violation that enough people downvote and report? If so, be transparent and update rule 1 to “MOB RULES”. Furthermore, I had at least two commenters say that my question was stupid, when clearly in the sidebar, it says there are no stupid questions. If I had known we just make shit up as we go, I wouldn’t have even asked. No Stupid Questions and Shower Thoughts seem to be moderated and frequented by NPCs whose only litmus test for discerning if a question is an actual question or a thought is and actual thought is asking themselves, “would I have asked this question? would I have had this thought?” and the answer is no, because they only have the capacity to think about their own basic functions. For them, keeping their bowels from releasing is a constant and conscious activity. Very dissatisfied, won’t recommend that community to anyone.
That thread made me sad.
Anyway, cats aren’t bound by the social contract, nor can they be considered part of systemic oppression. I have a similar issue where my dog uses the word “removed” like Jessie Pinkman and I often think how it may upset people.
