Just wondering what the limit is on rule 2 as I see things like covid vaccine effect questions, what scams are still around and other spicy topics. Don’t want to make anyone upset but it seemed odd.

You can always ask on !asklemmy@lemmy.world , the moderation I’d less strict over there
What? Really they seemed heavy handed lately. I am just more wondering where the line is for this sort of thing. I think questions about communities are likely a good thing for lemmy overall and would like to find out if that was why this was pulled.
The line is that you don’t criticise tankies/hexbear on lemmy.ml. They don’t take kindly to that sort of thing.

In my experience the .ml version is more heavily moderated, but your mileage may vary
I guess so, its just odd as the reason listed is “Leads to #2” and that seems a bit odd. Love the ability to look these things up, though.
The post in question was obviously loaded. The poster’s comments were absolutely out of line with the community in question. There was nothing polite or civil about them and questioning why one wouldn’t engage with uncivil discussion is at best ludicrous, at worst, toxic. They then got upset that they suffered consequences and got ragged on for it when they acted all hurt that their actions had consequences.
At no point was there any civil way to engage with the person. If you think they were civil, you have an odd baseline for that. Turning the other cheek isn’t a requirement in society. No one needs to deal with toxic people of they don’t want to. Honestly, with how hard you’re trying and the communication between the two of you, I almost feel like you two are the same person. Like, what happened to the original poster is not mysterious to anyone but them.
