I posted this meme to the Lemmy Shitpost community. I reckoned that it might generate a bit of debate, and would probably end up locked, but the entire post got deleted, and moreover, I’m now forbidden from sharing political posts to the community. Political posts are not against the rules of the community.
I have reason to believe that the post was deleted not because it was controversial, but because the moderator (Decoy321) disagreed with the political slant of the meme. The reason I find this suspicious is because other controversial posts, such as one about veganism remains up, and Decoy321 seemed to enjoy the fact it was controversial:
Lemmy world is fucking weird. They spam the word “zionist” too much.
Honestly it feels like Zionist and tankie are the new “Nazi” name calling (like calling a random commenter a Nazi, on the old internet before actual Nazis like Elon Musk came out of the white supremacy closet).
Kinda wish we had a filter or word block because it’s exhausting watching the name calling just flinging around
It is, isn’t it? They throw it around if anyone dares to question their position. It is weird to have this odd Rift in the world, and even in US politics, with people like Schumer basically swearing allegiance to another nation when most people dont really know or care about what is happening.
FWIW, I sprayed some holy water their way. It was great following your rhythm that day.
Great meme, PTB.
lowkey ur first mistake was participating in a shitpost community lmao
edit: ptb obviously
PTB
That was a great post!
This meme below got removed a few days ago. I think if you post anything controversial that rustles enough jimmies to make people rage-cry report you, they just remove the post rather than deal with angry nerds.
Or they just really hate trains, the jerks!
Edit: Same mod
I disagree with your meme, especially during primary season, but I still upvoted because I think everyone should be able to post their “controversial” memes.
down with trains!

Hear me out. A monorail made solely of unicycles strung together. Win-win!
I mean, that’s why we are against train. With train tracks, we can have 2x density, with bidirectional traffic.
Unicycle or bust
You are now a moderator of c/lemmyshitpost
I’ll be honest. Even as an anarcho-communist, I don’t care for these kinds of political reductions.
However, given that it’s a shitposting community, seems like lost-nuance is kind of part and parcel to the spirit of the community (which is why I don’t go there). I’d call this PTB.
How dare you shitpost in the shitposting community. Your post is exactly the kind of thing I like to see there.
I agree, the mod probably didn’t like the political message.
PTB!
Bruh, I criticized the two-party system, and admitted I voted third party (Socialist Party) in the 2024 presidential election. Lemmy is STILL pissed off about it and says I’m a Trumper–all because I didn’t Democrat. More and more people are starting to realize a 2-party system sucks, but damn, Lemmy ain’t their yet.
You marked for life now, dawg! Good luck! LMAO
(Oh and fuck you Lemmy, I’m gonna vote third party in the next election too. :) )
I am not able to comprehend people criticizing voting for third party. What is the meaning of vote if you cannot select a candidate of your choice?
Exactly my thoughts! It’s finally becoming more common to think like this on Lemmy now, but holy hell… in 2024 many Lemmy’s legit wanted to crucify people who thought like this. And they still follow me around and regularly ask that I be banned from the entire fediverse!
I’m not going anywhere tho. :) And I’m so proud of how mad they got, I put their comments and posts in my profile banner:

Yeah I’ve been fending off those freaks like they’re extras running at me one at a time in a kung-fu movie with bad takes. I’m not even American, I wasn’t eligible to vote in the 2024 election, but because I criticized Joe Biden/Kamala Harris, that must mean I just fuckin LOVE Trump.
Yep, exact same kind of comments I was getting
you angered the libs by pointing out they’re fascists.
the meme is still up in !anarchymemes@anarchist.nexus, so they can mald about it there.
Watch this comrades!
🔗!
PTB, as they say. If you scratch a liberal, a fascist bleeds.
Before long, people are gonna accuse you of being me. lol
according to fascists, I am a tankie.
Wouldn’t be surprising, liberals usually resort to making bad faith accusations when they don’t have anything to counter with.

Good meme :)
Flyingsquid has been inactive for a year now
I had a quick look through and pretty much every moderator on that community has almost no activity recently, I wonder if they’re using their accounts for moderator action only, and participating on another account.
It was Decoy321. Says so right in your modlog.
I don’t see it, what am I missing? Can you share a screenshot and I’ll add it to the post?
Using the summit app.
They might be using an app. Some of them show a more detailed modlog.
That helped, thank you! I looked at the API request directly in raw JSON, and I can confirm it was indeed Decoy321.
“you’ve started quite a shit show”
well excuse you for assuming a shitpost community would be such a refined and gentlemanly establishment 🤣
No problem.
Something something it’s more dignified to be killed by blue, just don’t post in .world, help grow other servers
Someone has to get dirty rolling around in the trenches with the hogs, gotta burst their bubble occasionally. But yep, you’re right.
