That’s the thing though. You don’t find it oniony, I find oniony. In the few hours it was in the forum 140 users found it oniony and 16 not oniony. And The mod has the last word on this by default.

I hope this is the right place for this post because from my 2-day experience in lemmy.world I see signs of a dystopic online community in which it is not permitted to express anti-zionist opinions. If you think this post would fit better in another forum, would you point it out to me? Unless automod gets to me first?
- I created an account 2 days ago and I posted this article in Not the Onion: U.S. Airdrops Food to Gaza While Arming Israel to Drop Bombs.
It was removed by automod, so I contacted a human mod. The rest is in the screenshot. I decided not to wait for an answer because I had similar issues in Reddit. Mods were removing anti-zionist posts of news articles and had them restored a couple of days later, so they would get less visibility by not showing up on the first page, and it worked. Assuming (of course I cannot be certain at this point) that similar stuff are taking place here, is also alarming.
- Take a look at this post as well: What is @automod doing?
Tbh, I just hope I’m just wrong on all this, and I would really like to have some feedback on this from people that have been around in this instance longer that I have been.
I also thought initially something along those lines, that it’s a bug not a feature. Time will tell I guess which of the 2 it is.
Regarding the second post, that wasn’t automod, that was one of us in General Discussion
I don't know why you would say this. Here is a screenshot I took yesterday.
Is anyone surprised by this actually?
