Idk what the culture is over there but it was just a bit funny to see the entire thread I was replying to just removed. Like that doesn’t happen here on kbin lmao. a bit of a culture clash there I guess.
I wonder if that’s the norm for lemmy and beehaw? Here on kbin basically nothing is removed it seems. at least for now.
Replying from Lemmy. 👋 Not the norm over here either. I wonder if there is just some weird sync issue happening?
Lemmy communities have public Mod Logs so even if a thread was removed I don’t think it’s gone forever.
When Stalinists are running the main Lemmy instances, it should not be surprising if history undergoes sudden and frequent changes there.
There’s an entire book on this predilection of Stalinism: “The Commissar Vanishes: The Falsification of Photographs and Art in Stalin’s Russia” (1997), by David King.
More mundanely, posters on the main Lemmy instances should already have seen that if anyone mentions oppression by certain states, e.g. the systematic oppression of certain minorities, this will ironically be labeled as “racism.” The racism of genocide denial is a Stalinist’s bread and butter, and will never result in deletions or bans.
Interesting. A few threads (from lemmy instances and beehaw) just ended up showing up as “removed” when I tried going to them. I figured the mods there removed it for whatever reason.
on kbin entire thread removals on that basically haven’t happened since I’ve been here, and moderation is pretty light as a whole (either due to the admin being very busy, or just the culture). I had heard lemmy.ml is pretty heavy on the censoring/removals so I figured it was that. I know beehaw has a weird culture thing as well that sounds like they’d be pretty quick to remove stuff that is “off-brand”.
Lemmy has public mod logs if you’re ever curious
So does kbin modlog
I just looked and sure enough:
that’s a beehaw thread posted in technology@beehaw.org. This is the sorta thing I mean lol. Like what an odd thing to remove? Surely it’s a fitting topic for a technology group?
Not sure if this link will work—or if it’s relevant to the specific mod action you quoted—but that same mod put up a thread with some context around the purging you were talking about.
