Why do posts frequently get removed on Lemmy when Reddit would not remove them? (self.asklemmy)

If a topic is in any way controversial, there's a good chance it will get removed, when I'm sure the same content wouldn't get removed on Reddit. I know it depends on subs and instances but I mean more generally, and for example AskLemmy vs AskReddit. Reddit seems to have more leeway for things, whereas Lemmy doesn't and seems harder on censorship. Not only that but they remove things even when they're not controversial such as when I just asked a question about savory fruit and sweet vegetables that got removed. They also give no reason at all for why things get removed nor any notice of its removal until you realise later. It happens so frequently that I wonder if this post will get removed too for some reason.

i don't know what you're talking about OP. i love it here. we need a place where radical liberals can call for change by whatever means necessary without getting modded by lame centrists.

I kind of agree with your last sentence... but that's why I think this platform doesn't serve that purpose unfortunately lol. Interesting or radical liberal posts seem to get removed a lot.

i call for heads to roll all the time and i don't think they've removed one of my posts yet.

let's give it a quick try. KILL ALL CONSERVATIVES FOR THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY.
