This sub paid a lot of lip service to the protest and participated in the blackout, but they removed my post promoting Lemmy and the liberal gun owners group here. Ain’t that some shit?

Edit - I’ve been informed in the comments that the mod message may have been misleading and my post might have actually been removed by Reddit admins. I certainly hope that is true and if so the mods there are not deserving of my misdirected anger.

    Thanks for letting me know! I certainly hope that’s true and it wasn’t actually the sub mod team as the message indicated. That’s really slimy for Reddit admins to do that and make out as though it’s the mods, but it’s definitely not surprising at this point.

      @TrinityTek I feel very confident that it is not the mods that took your post down. Like I mentioned my post was taken down by Reddit admin, not the mods. The head mod at LGO has been checking out Lemmy and Kbin as potential alternatives. He is concerned about the lack of mod tools here because they get trolls from everywhere. You can check on the LGO wiki for their approach, but the mods feel like they are fucked once the third party apps end. Recommend you DM him on Reddit. Also, understanding mod tools is beyond my technical capability but the way we can help ourselves is to put the tools in place that will give the LGO mods confidence that we’re a viable alternative. They recognize that gun related subreddits are not in Spez’s plans and there is a community being served that vitally needs help.
