At least 3/5 times, my post gets removed either because:

  • it violates some subsection of some dot point in those extensive sidebar rules that I didn’t study thoroughly enough, or

  • some mod decides it would be better if I posted as a comment in their dedicated mega thread on the subject, or

  • the Automoderator removed it without explanation, and the mods are all currently on holiday or too busy to GAF.

Anyone else have this problem? And is lemmy any better?

    I was never able to post anything to Showerthoughts, and not for lack of trying. One time the automod even said my post was unoriginal despite me having already done a Google search for it. This was before AI got big, so I can only imagine they had some super advanced AI that could understand context and make judgements.

    Anyway, I unsubbed after seeing the 5th repost of the same old showerthought content and never looked back.
