Hi, I was told to post about this here by the mod, so I have decided to post it here to see what you think.
Anyway, I’m a koala lover who has been diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome and has OCD. Sometime ago, I came across a koala subreddit on Reddit and thought that I could be welcome there among other koala lovers in there.
So, I made a post there and during the time I was writing it, I thought that it wouldn’t be against the rules since the subreddit only had two rules, and I was not trying to sell anything nor was I running a fundraiser for something.
The post remained there for days waiting to see if anyone decides to respond and talk to me. I don’t know when it was removed by the mods, but I did not see that until early this morning right before I needed to get to bed.
Since I was frustrated at the time and possibly not thinking clearly, plus the fact Reddit doesn’t even have an accessible ModLog like Lemmy to find out what the hell was wrong with my koala related post to warrant removal, I made a post in the subreddit trying to get answers and in c/General being unsure as to what to do or where to go.
Right now, it seems that I’m getting disrespectful comments and no messages from anyone wanting to contact me about this, figure out if I need to start a new community on here or on Reddit, and see about figuring out what was wrong and try to get the issue resolved.
Anyway, here is a screenshot I managed to get of my first post in the koala community before it had been removed, by pulling it up via my profile.
This is skirting the rules by just being extra strategic in what you’re saying. You know why it was removed. The whole thing sounds like a fundraiser or like you’re trying to recruit people to help you make this thing.
No, it was not a fundraiser for anything that I was doing, and I really didn’t know it was removed.
Also, I was not trying to recruit anything to make anything either.
While I don’t agree with the tone (and accusations) of the person you were answering to, I do somewhat agree with what they’re trying to say. Your post might have been deleted because the first part does indeed read a bit like you want to advertise a kickstarter or something similar to get those plushies produced. I understand this wasn’t your intention, however it could possibly have been misinterpreted as such.
Yeah, it could be possible the first part was misinterpreted, since it wasn’t my intention to try to open discussion about getting plushies produced in that subreddit.
