I’ve notice that posts in this community tend to get deleted, even ones with multiple comments and/or useful information. Even worse is when they get posted again by some other user a few days later.
What’s going on? What’s the policy around here?
I posted news about Gnome + Shaman employee and it got deleted. It was legit article…
This is exactly what I’m talking about.
OK, I did a search for “Gnome foundation shaman” and that led down a rabbithole of WTF. What the hell are they thinking with this person?
Apparently it’s disinformation
re: Gnome and professional shaman – that one was pointed out pretty quickly as being misinformation (known troll with an archive.org post dated an hour before their “prank”)
Could you link to information on this -specifically on any work debunking it. I can’t seem to find any in the usual places, in fact googling shows stuff like https://youtu.be/NrzseZQotu4?si=1rQtbo9mwfAEt4sL which seems to corroborate the weirder claims. I suppose the channel might be part of it.
Having said that, this sure feels like a troll and it would be pretty funny if it were. Thanks!
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Can you explain how exactly the evidence was created? Did some people create fake pages months in advance?
from the post debunking it, it was that it wasn’t “months in advance” that was the giveaway – for a website that she was supposed to have been using for several years for her business, the only snapshot archive.org had was dated an hour before the accusations started getting posted
Ah, I was thinking about the claimed social media pages though. I’m currently at “work” so I can’t verify yet.
According to the modlog, most things get removed for “Trolling” or “Misinformation”: https://lemmy.ml/modlog/14701
Who gets to decide what is misinformation?
I don’t believe that log is complete. Either way there are a few posts there that got deleted for no reason:
I’m curious why you think the log is incomplete? And the screenshots contain reasons, so I’m unsure what you mean by they got deleted for no reason.
Because I’ve seen posts posted to Linux@lemmy.ml removed that aren’t on the log. And I’m sure I’m not the only one.
I guess it largely depends on the instance and user. Federation allows things to talk but users and their home instances still have ownership of the data. So if a user removes it it’s gone. If the instance goes away it’s gone.
At least that’s my basic understanding. I haven’t had the time to really explore how everything works and do a deep dive. So if I’m wrong someone please correct me!
Last one I saw was from lemmy.world and the user didn’t delete his post.
