Why was this post removed?
https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/78385105
Around 300 upvotes and 80 comments. It was still gaining traction, lots of discussion to be had. Yet, removed. Again.
I would highly recommend consulting the moderators of that community. The modlog, which is public, but which I will assume you don’t know how to access however you access Lemmy, shows that automoderator removed the post, a mod approved it, and then quickly removed it. In both cases, unspecified rules were said to be broken.
I don’t see a problem with it personally, but I am not a moderator there, which is, again, who you need to consult.
What was the actual article?because linking a deleted post takes you to an error page.
The article was this:
Interestingly, the post was restored by a mod and then removed again by a mod.
Seems to be visible to me right now
What is visible? The article? Of course the article is visible, it is an article by some news organization. Lemmy mods removed the lemmy post. Not the article from the news organization. They cannot do that yet, but surely, if they could, they would. These mods are power hungry asf.
I meant the Lemmy post, ofc. Weirdly it’s visible on my end for some reason.
300 upVotes and still a “moderator” kill it, this is sad. if it breaks one’s community’s rules, the post should be mooved to an other community instead … unfortunately, Lemmy’s tools do not make it possible at the moment.
Sad for users and for you.

Correct. Thus, if a post breaks the rules of the community, the option is to remove it.
I browse all communities (i.e. the front page of Lemmy) and I can tell you that if you don’t - you may not realize, but a lot of things are posted to multiple communities. Also, things from tiny communities commonly make the front page, so if something got all that attention and it was posted into a community where it belonged, chances are good it would get attention again.
It is insane. The one thing we need on lemmy is more engagement, more discussion. Yet, they keep removing posts that are getting attention. I would honestly believe if someone told me these mods are reddit share holders.
If the post breaks community rules, it should be removed. Period.
Perhaps try finding another community where that post would be welcome. I browse the front page, as a lot of lemmings do - stuff from even smaller communities has a good chance (unlike on, say, reddit) of getting a lot of engagement.
i am amazed and sad that you get downVotes for this post asking why another post was removed and i am a bit curious about which community decided to remove your initial post (?)
i also find it interesting that you received attention and positive comment from an administrator that goes by the username :
issac = = @ieh@lemmy.world
