I'm stuck between Reddit's platform decay and Lemmy's... Lemmy-ness. Sigh. This community is pretty good though.

I've had a number of my posts removed too. Large Reddit subs have become such Byzantine bureaucracies to navigate.
Moderation can be a lot of work, especially as a community becomes a certain size. A lot of the basic moderation has been left to automation which can be poor.
I think that was a big reason for the APIcolypse of 2023. Vanilla Reddit's mod tools often did not measure up to third party options that relied on free API access. Now that they no longer have those tools, moderation is likely even harder, compounded by the flood of bots meaning there's more to moderate.
