I personally see subreddits as online magazines - each has their own policy. I don't take it personally when they delete. But sometimes they cross all red lines of sanity, like this screenshot I found in r/Anarcho_Capitalism:
The guy said nothing about supporting Trump but was banned for expressing a point that wasn't aligned with the Democratic Party's agenda. In political subreddits, like many liberal political subs, r/socialism or r/Republican, they openly say if you express an opinion against their agenda, you are banned. But this screenshot is about banning in r/comics! Loved this "This subreddit is for patriots only", lol - so totalitarian!
When post/author mutes happen here
Muting posts on Hive can sometimes be more harmful than deleting ones on Reddit - because you aren't allowed to post the same post on Hive again, while you can post a deleted Reddit post again on Reddit. Sad to see "This post was muted" instead of your post on your blog, you might share with friends, sad to know that some of your followers might wonder if you are a spammer or "what actually has happened?" Many curators will ignore a muted post so you lose a part of the author's rewards as well.
For example, a post by @haastrecht:
https://peakd.com/hive-178708/@haastrecht/oscar-niemeyer-international-cultural-center
Maybe he should've tagged @aplusd rather than the community account, I know I for instance wouldn't pay attention to any of my community account's tags. Maybe the post was just ignored after the mute and not looked back on by moderators, either way. These issues still happen here, but we can at least see the post and the author not being certain about why he got muted and in respect us not being able to understand why either which means we can talk about it and bring it up. Whereas on reddit it would just be hidden and unless that user has a large following on Twitter or manages to somehow make noise about it elsewhere, it'd go unnoticed.
Even mij coments in the post were muted, so someone needts to read that before they do that right?
not if they muted the account rather than the post itself
Thank you for sharing this. Sad that it happend, I did put some effort in there.
If you look a bit closer, that community's mod accounts haven't posted/commented in half a year, they're powering down/have powered down most stake, I don't think people should consider it an active and moderated community anymore.
