Whats the complaint? Which community did you post this to? If it was posted to a community on lemmy.ml then its fair for them to remove the post, its their instance and they dont care about these posts. If this was reddit you'd have no where else to go. At least with Lemmy you can post to a community on a sane instance.
Lemmy ML dont like the post because they are in favor of the government snatching people off the street without due process.
Well argued.
I didn’t post it, I just saved it somewhere on .ml and it is gone, and found it back on [email protected]
My question stands though, I sense that “political” is used fairly broadstrokely It almost means “complicated, longer than 5 second attention span” stuff.
With political meaning “relating to the government or public affairs of a country”, e.g. a broad definition too. However, a free person being essentially abducted on the street by plain clothes “law enforcement” could perhaps be seen as a humanitarian, civil liberty, freedom of speech, and some many others before it being just “political”.
Is there a guideline on Lemmy why we let the tankies be part of this or is a bit of an analogy to the r/TheDonald situation on Reddit? As in: I hope that we don’t slide the same way.
How much do you know about the history of Lemmy?
I think it’s clear that the answer to that is not enough, so why don’t you point me towards the nearest library with a Lemmy history section?
History of Lemmy
it's possible if you sort this community by "New" and scroll down you'll find lots of good resources. One of the things I complain about is I can't have two instances open of my particular app at once, so I can't do it and come back and paste in links without some fancy footwork.
Here's an example: https://lemmy.world/post/26169987
