From what I’ve seen so far, it’s just a broad rule they can point to if they want to remove certain content.

Essentially it’s their house and we’re just renting a room.

Often you don’t know a crime has been committed at the time, which is why businesses are expected to have data retention periods for legal reasons.

But everyone keeps pointing to any data retention as some sort of big brother boogeyman.

This topic has been pretty disappointing for me so far. Most of the comments are the exact inflammatory comments you’d see on Reddit. I was hoping Lemmy would be a bit better but maybe not.

You can disagree with a community existing without needing to attack the person asking for a reason why it was removed.

I wasn’t able to see the posts from the community as it has been removed, but the comments in that community from you point to the possibility that it was inflammatory.

A response from an instance moderator should help clarify the reasoning though.

Might be a good spot for one of the instance moderators to chime in. Not sure if it’s appropriate to tag them in posts like this but it might be a nice spot to provide a clear explanation that others can point to for future examples of this type of removal.

I didn’t see anything about misinformation in the CoC but one of them might have felt the community was inflammatory. It’ll also be interesting to see if this is one of those things they just don’t want on their instance. While we would like impartial instances in general, they are running it for us and Lemmy is likely in a limbo period of trying to establish precedence for what is allowed.

One of the reasons I wanted to follow this post is to hopefully get an even clearer explanation on what is allowed and what to expect going forward from this instance.

The nice thing about this right now is that you don’t need to feel witty or creative to post stuff as long as it fits the community you’re in. There aren’t enough people to compete with for posts to get attention, that’s the main attraction to smaller social media environments: you feel like you matter more.

Same, my job is like 80% SQL, so it’d be cool to see what is used in the background and maybe help improve things.
