I said something along the lines of:

“Wow, I haven’t had a reason to smile ear to ear in a while.”

Along with

“Nah, the more dead corpos dragons, the better.”

In response to some liberal going off about how violence is never the solution, not mentioning how this murdered dipshit has personally overseen a system that perpetuates harm, suffering and death (violence) in the name of profit.

Good ole’ civility clause.

Whats the paradox of tolerance?

.world mods have never heard of it I guess.

    I’m not at all surprised by the negative talk, but removing the thread is a terrible look.

    The news is still relevant, current, developing, and of interest to many people, including me.

    Let people be jerks. If I recall, the first comment to be removed was about guillotines. Bad taste, yes, but c’mon.

      Nobody removed the thread. There was one repost removal, but other than that, all I see in the modlog is comment removals and bans. The relevant, current, developing, and of interest story is not exactly a secret as of right now.

        A thread I was following in News@lemmy.world is deleted. I had it saved and was referring back to it and other searches in hopes of updates as it’s very relevant to me personally.

        Not a huge deal of course, but I know at least one conversation was nuked, even if this post doesn’t refer to that incident.

          It looks like there were a handful of reposts that got removed. I don’t know why I had only seen the one.

          I get what you’re saying now. It sucks to have an active thread of conversation suddenly get nuked. On the other hand, it’s not a good situation to have 5 different duplicate posts of the exact same story cluttering up the feed for no reason.

          It’s not related to the calls for violence. It’s just from the reposts. I think your irritation should maybe be directed at the people who don’t check if a post is a duplicate before posting it. I’m not sure what else the mods could do in that situation that’s any better than what they did, since Lemmy doesn’t have functionality for redirecting comment threads from multiple duplicate posts together into one, or anything like that.
