Why was a post about "What's the worst Lemmy community you've run across?" removed due to rule 2 when it seemed kinda weaksause compared to what is normally here? (mander.xyz)

Just wondering what the limit is on rule 2 as I see things like covid vaccine effect questions, what scams are still around and other spicy topics. Don't want to make anyone upset but it seemed odd.

Initially the post itself and confirmed by the comments. Mod tools on Lemmy are very simple and I didn't have time or interest in babysitting a thread that was already looking for a negative, unhelpful discussion. If you really want this discussion, try [email protected].

At the end of the day, it was a mod judgements call about the type of content we want to see on this community.
