MODERATORS
 

Was having some nice discussions in the news instance regarding a post about the Columbian Presidents comments on cocaine, but the thread got nuked within the last hour.

I normally would move on, but this has begun to happen with more and more frequency. Not really interested in participating in anything that will just get removed based on some rando's personal feelings towards a topic.

I hate participating in what seems like a good conversation only for the content to get irretrievably nuked

Here lately, that's less because of posts getting removed by mods and more because some tinfoil-hat jerkoff(s) keep spinning up disposable accounts, making a post, and deleting the account/content shortly afterward. It's to the point I won't even bother responding to someone unless their account is at least a week old, and even then, I'm wary.
