So, apparently shit post mods will just remove posts with positive upvotes without any mod mail or explanation.
As per title, submitted a post here that as far as I'm aware met all the rules, it had positive momentum before I went to bed, wake up and no post and no messages or notification that it was removed or why except that it's just gone. Discuss.

Looking at the post, it didn't fit the community, but it would also have broken Rule 1. Lemmy Shitpost is for Shitposts. Instigating discussion on heavy topics is not the purpose of this community
There are places for those kinds of posts, this is not it. I pride myself in keeping this place respectful, no matter where you stand politically. Posts that break the rules will be removed and I stand by my moderators decision on this one.
You're welcome to to your opinion and I will not be removing/locking this post unless it devolves into rule breaking.
Thank you for keeping the sub on topic!
That's perfectly fine. I'm just trying to identify that there is a problem because as a new user to a new platform none of that is made apparent, lack of communication and information about this has just made me less likely to even try and enagage due to a lack of clarity on how the rules are enforced.
Without some notification, as a new user I don't even know for sure that it's mod action and wouldn't have without making this post.
this is a teething issue with lemmy as a platform. It would certainly help to have a place where notifications go when posts are removed or banned. Currently that place is the modlog which is viewable by everyone
I'm aware of this now, but mod log is not something new users are made aware of, nor is it accessible through the apps, at least not Jerboa. There's a significant number of new users who will never touch the web interface.
Yeah. We’re all just starting here. These fedi apps are barely holding together. Techs been around for a bit but never this many users. We have a lot of work to do. Everyone from the devs to the hosters and the mods. Honestly maybe it is best to just walk away if you’re getting this upset.
I'm not upset, just seeking clarification.
