I made a post in the general discussion channel about my neighbor’s dogs barking all night, and instead of just allowing the fucking thread to continue as a general discussion, it’s locked by a moderator and told the post here. Y’all literally turn into this place into Reddit.

If it was posted to a political thread, sure, but it’s literally fucking called general discussion. The best part about leaving Reddit were the moderators who just had to have control of something in their lives, and here we are again.

Would it have broken Lemmy to leave the fucking post up?

      Why would you create a new community when one already exists for general discussion lol

        Oh. I thought you were mad about someone else’s choices about their own community. You are saying that they shouldn’t have the choice to remove content that they don’t think fits in their community right?

          I’m saying as someone who wanted to post content and was told to choose a community to post in, then scrolled a bit and specifically found one that would make sense as a good fit aka “General Discussion” that I find it silly that the entire discussion was locked mid discussion

            Oh, you mean you entered someone else’s community, didn’t read the rules, posted and are mad about it when you got corrected?

              Let me paste below the literal words from the sidebar:

              “This is a community for general discussion where you can get your bearings in the fediverse”

              The word tech doesn’t even exist in the sidebar lol you’re awfully pent up about my post in vent lolol

          If someone wanted to create a community for specific content maybe they should title it as such

            On a tech focused instance… The general section will be about tech, not your anger about dogs. You not understanding where you are isn’t other people’s fault.
