I'm talking about !moviesandtv@lemm.ee .

Just recently had a post (cross-post of CGI video posted here) removed for no reason (none stated at least) and then they banned me for asking why.

You can see it all in the modlog, filtered to just actions against me.

The lack of any engagement on why a post gets removed and trigger happy user banning just screams bad moderator culture to me.

I didn't realise they were like this before and now realise that an alternative place that's kinder and more open is important. I don't know how the other mods (I'm mostly an accidental mod) are here, but I get the feeling that this is a nicer place and I hope it stays that way (plus the growing user numbers probably reflects this?)

Anyway, just thought I'd share as you wouldn't know when this stuff happens unless someone tells you in another community.

Hope political/drama posts are ok (I didn't see anything in the rules against them).

Not sure why your post was removed when this post (to use a similar example) wasn't. Not providing a reason is, at the very least, self-defeating, because you then have to deal with the not-unreasonable follow-up question as to why.

From what I remember, I think this place ultimately exists because of the mod at the other place being a bit opaque.

And not just opaque, but also defensive and happily using moderation as a weapon in that. It's just a shitty approach to moderation IMO, especially for lemmy and it's vibe and size. It really has no place here, and I suspect mods like that have learnt to be like that from Reddit when this is a totally different place.

IIRC, Blaze (mod here) got banned under similar circumstances.

Hello,

That's indeed why I opened this community in the first place. For people interested, you can have a look at this post for the details (open the spoiler): https://lemmy.world/post/11446250
