Removed Post “Exception implies deficiency. Am I the only one who sees this?”
“Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.”
Yeah “am I the only…” is not a legitimate question. I can see why that got removed.
One for rule 5:
Removed Post “Focus your attention, part of the world becomes sharper and brighter, another part fades away and disappears. With habit even the focusing becomes invisible. How much has disappeared?”
“Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.”
I don’t even know what’s going on with that question. Seems to be borderline trolling/im14andthisisdeep material.
Then yes it is bad. From my time on Reddit, there were a lot of posts where I disagreed with the advice given but approved it because it was relevant to the community and met the guidelines. Doing so was sometimes more productive anyways, since then people got a chance to discuss why it was bad advice and what might be better
Moderators should try and remove based on the guidelines, and then trust their gut when it’s a grey area.
Also unless we can see what OP is complaining about, we can’t really tell what happened.
You change the initial situation. The question here wasn’t about a post outside of guidelines - just about one mod not liking one post.
The “initial situation” is that OP has had 2 posts removed from here for breaking the rules and is butthurt over it.

This fucking account. I don’t block users but in this case I’m tempted. Looking at their profile I see I’ve consistently downvoted their posts.
The deficiency one I would’ve removed for “white supremacist talking points”, were I a mod of the community.
Previous posts fetishizing neurodivergence were also offensive and the user just won’t listen when people tell them that.
Even on Reddit, the people saying “Mods suck, I got banned and all I was doing was …” tended to have the worst comment histories.
Sometimes I’m reminded that a lot of people are on Lemmy because they kept getting banned from Reddit.
That’s exactly what we don’t want to discuss here.
Read the original question once more. If you need to, read it repeatedly.
But what if the mod didn’t like the post because it’s outside of guidelines?
