Hi, I was told to post about this here by the mod, so I have decided to post it here to see what you think.
Anyway, I'm a koala lover who has been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome and has OCD. Sometime ago, I came across a koala subreddit on Reddit and thought that I could be welcome there among other koala lovers in there.
So, I made a post there and during the time I was writing it, I thought that it wouldn't be against the rules since the subreddit only had two rules, and I was not trying to sell anything nor was I running a fundraiser for something.
The post remained there for days waiting to see if anyone decides to respond and talk to me. I don't know when it was removed by the mods, but I did not see that until early this morning right before I needed to get to bed.
Since I was frustrated at the time and possibly not thinking clearly, plus the fact Reddit doesn't even have an accessible ModLog like Lemmy to find out what the hell was wrong with my koala related post to warrant removal, I made a post in the subreddit trying to get answers and in c/General being unsure as to what to do or where to go.
Right now, it seems that I'm getting disrespectful comments and no messages from anyone wanting to contact me about this, figure out if I need to start a new community on here or on Reddit, and see about figuring out what was wrong and try to get the issue resolved.
Anyway, here is a screenshot I managed to get of my first post in the koala community before it had been removed, by pulling it up via my profile.
That's such a bummer. I am also an animal lover and I think your idea about the koala fighting deforestation is great.
I got some neuroatypical friends and I actually have struggled with OCD myself... So cheers for you being outgoing and trying to participate positively.
Why mods do that...and why reddit mods in particular always get away with it... I'll never understand.
Well then, this is the pic I have seen that gave me the idea about Sailor Koala fighting deforestation, since it's a koala dressed as Sailormoon which I managed to save to my computer in case I lose access to it.
And the reason I know that I have OCD myself is because the amount of times I wash my handles and the times I go back to the mailbox to check to make sure I didn't forget any mail in it and I had closed the mailbox after checking and getting the mail, and go back to make sure I had put the flag up after putting something in the mailbox to be mailed off.
