    It happens on Lemmy, as well. I have seen posts removed according to a “rule x”, where “rule x” when the post didn’t go anywhere near “rule x”. I just left the community, even if those posts weren’t mine.

      When the billionaire sister of Elaine Chao (wife of Moscow Mitch and nepotism hire in the Trump administration) drowned in a Tesla, I got banned for 3 days for “celebrating her death” even though I did no such thing:

      The same mod banned 13 other people for the same thing in the same thread, even though only one or two of them had actually broken the rule.

          Why do you think so? I didn’t break any rules and it’s not like any of the people who know that billionaire leech on society (but I repeat myself) are going to go on Lemmy to see my joke 🤷

            Wishing ill on someone purely because they’re wealthy is gross, and also just plain cringe.

              First of all, I didn’t wish ill on anyone. I made a joke about it being unfair to connect an innocent non public person to Moscow Mitch, then pretended TP concede the point because of her billionaire status.

              Secondly, being a billionaire isn’t just “wealthy”. It’s a grotesque level of wealth hoarding that’s impossible to achieve without abusing and/or severely depriving people who have done you no harm. THAT’S “plain cringe”.

              Pictured: what most people would consider a significant amount of money, what most people would consider a large enough net “worth” to be wealthy and a ridiculous dragon’s hoard, respectively:
