Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I don't see any threads recently nuked in News, and no recent modlog entries for you specifically (except an old one from 6 months ago where you called someone a pedo, and nope, I'm not digging up a slapfight thread that starts/ends there). You might also want to clarify which "news" community; I was only looking at the modlog within the last hour as described in the post here.
The post I think you're talking about, "Cocaine 'no worse than whiskey,' would be 'sold like wine' if legalized worldwide, Colombia's president says" was removed because it was old news (rule 5: Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days). That's a long-established community rule, and it was properly enforced.
The only comment I see removed in c/News in the last hour isn't from that post or by you, and was removed for "What the fuck?". Considering the comment in question is:
NSFL
...I think the mod made the right call.
Edit: Put quoted removed comment into spoiler tag with NSFL warning.
The post you referenced as being removed for being old news is the one.
I understand the reason for the rule, but people were engaging with the content and now I'm left with blue balls so to speak.
Can you guys not make it so that submissions need to be mod approved before they show up in people's feeds?
