Edit: Oops, it is /r/Tennessee, not /r/ProgressiveHQ

A screenshot of a poster on Reddit /r/Tennessee trying to post about the election, and a mod removing the post while not really pretending there's a good reason to remove it

My very first Lemmy post was in what is essentially the only Lemmy comics group, and it got removed because it contained "profanity".

I was trying to post original content directly to Lemmy, which is something no one ever does. But it got removed, so fuck it, I posted it to reddit. Two hours later, it was on the front page of reddit. So not to toot my own horn, but I think that's a sign that it was pretty fucking premium OC, the kind of content that a Lemmy mod should want in their community.

I've since seen it reposted all over the internet, and it's hit the reddit front page several more times.

The profanity in question: "balls".

    I once got into a debate on a left wing community about the methods to outsmart conservatives. The guy wasn’t agreeing with me, at one point I said “doing the same thing is just lunacy” I was removed and banned for “ableism” That’s the best the mod could come up with to silence my opinion.
