I’ve notice that posts in this community tend to get deleted, even ones with multiple comments and/or useful information. Even worse is when they get posted again by some other user a few days later.

What’s going on? What’s the policy around here?

      OK, I did a search for “Gnome foundation shaman” and that led down a rabbithole of WTF. What the hell are they thinking with this person?

      I don’t believe that log is complete. Either way there are a few posts there that got deleted for no reason:

    In general, I find that a lot of communities have overly strict rules. I posted a news article a while back to c/news and they deleted it because it was “not us news”. At the moment I forget what the article was, but it was definitely of interest to us citizens, it just happened outside the US. Things like that have happened so often that I’m less likely to even try to post stuff

    I guess it largely depends on the instance and user. Federation allows things to talk but users and their home instances still have ownership of the data. So if a user removes it it’s gone. If the instance goes away it’s gone.

    At least that’s my basic understanding. I haven’t had the time to really explore how everything works and do a deep dive. So if I’m wrong someone please correct me!

      Last one I saw was from lemmy.world and the user didn’t delete his post.

    re: Gnome and professional shaman – that one was pointed out pretty quickly as being misinformation (known troll with an archive.org post dated an hour before their “prank”)
