Welcome to the Lemmy Drama community!

This is a place to share and enjoy drama across the fediverse. Grab your popcorn, and dive in!

Rules:

1. Don't bring your own drama.

If you are a part of the drama, don't post it here. We're here to enjoy drama, not see it brought to this community.

2. Be civil.

No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. No ongoing drama.

if there’s been a comment in the past 3 days, wait until it’s settled down.

5. No interacting with the drama you find here.

That means no upvotes, no downvotes, and no commenting in the original thread.

6. Keep the drama focused on Lemmy and/or the fediverse only.

If it’s Kbin or Mastodon drama, it must be a quality effort post.

7. Don’t piss on the popcorn.

Inciting brigades is an automatic ban.

8. Mod Perogative

We reserve the right to enforce the rules however we like.

Ok, so, I crossposted the documentary “Four Horsemen 2012” to [email protected] and it got removed for not being “a solarpunk themed documentary” - all good, it was my mistake I didn’t check it’s a community for documentaries with a specific there/topic.

Then, I wake up to the message from the SAME PERSON ([email protected]) removing the same documentary from [email protected] which I assume is a GENERAL PURPOSE instance for documentaries about all topics. Their reason was: “I’m going to remove this documentary out of solidarity for Ukraine” even tho the documentary had NOTHING to do with Ukraine and doesn’t even mention it ONCE! I’m super confused. The rules for this community don’t even say anything about certain documentaries being allowed or not. What is happening? Ideological censorship?

Did you look into what the mod said? "If you’re interested in what that means, Adam Curtis has a good explanation YT, and the entire documentary Hypernormalization is a great watch." - you might find something in that documentary that could clear up some confusion? Not sure though as I don't know what the mod meant either, and can't watch the doc at the mo as I'm at work.

Here is their full message and modlog (they are a very new mod and apparently this is the only post that was removed recently):

The more I learn about the documentary, the more Vladislav Surkov vibes I get from it. If you’re interested in what that means, Adam Curtis has a good explanation YT, and the entire documentary Hypernormalization is a great watch.
I’m going to take this down, out of solidarity with Ukraine, but don’t take this personally. I hope your journey of political self-discovery continues.
