So, apparently shit post mods will just remove posts with positive upvotes without any mod mail or explanation. - eviltoast

As per title, submitted a post here that as far as I’m aware met all the rules, it had positive momentum before I went to bed, wake up and no post and no messages or notification that it was removed or why except that it’s just gone. Discuss.

    oh its a mod action, i can see it. first post, new to lemmy gets removed. seems pretty normal imo, shitposting is a risky place to try to FP that topic.

      You can, but I can’t. As a new user trying to figure out a new platform a lack of information availability and communication of mod actions feels kind of counterintuitive to understanding when I am encountering a bug or crossing a line that I don’t understand. Neither of which is going to make wanting to contribute to the new platform I’m on out of uncertainty.

        I don’t disagree though as a 16+ year reddit user, I can’t say I haven’t seen exactly this on more than one site in the past (including reddit). I’d also suggest that not every instance is “just like reddit” what might fly there will get you banned or censured on some instances, moderated on others.

        might want to run your own instance or switch to one that aligns with you, does not prevent posting here and if you find one with modlogs on you too can see the actions.

          I don’t have any issue with the rules or the actions taken, just the lack of transparency for new users who aren’t provided anythin except a post counter that’s one less than earlier.

        You have been given the answers you seek. There is no place for mod actions to be viewed except for the modlog which is mentioned in the instance rules and about. On Lemmy, you always want to read the rules before posting because of events like this. I’m not saying its good we should get a notification. But you are beginning to repeat yourself and the answer has been given, satisfactory or not.

          Well the situation doesn’t change unless the discussion is had, I fail to see your point?

            My point is this isn’t really a discussion. Its people answering your frustrations and mentioning it is known and you replying that the feature isn’t there in recursive fashion.

              It’s not known to literally hundreds of thousands of new users though is it? You knowing something doesn’t help everyone else does it. Or are you ignorant of everyone who isn’t you?

                The comments here seem to reveal the opposite of your questioning statements. Enjoy.
