Woah, that’s pretty unexpected. I wonder if there is something else going on that we don’t know about.
Comment on Why was the post about that weird lemmy contributor removed?

I’ve gotten the vibe they are quick to ban boat rockers rather than have to deal with the wake.

Well, the OP made a brand new account just to post that, and immediately spammed it to like 4 different subs…
They should have just contacted admins off their actual account.
Like, whoever that OP was they didn’t handle this well, and then getting banned doesn’t mean admins are ignoring the issue.

But if its a post with a new issue, it should be fine. 4 different subs isn’t spamming. Just remove it in the sub where it doesn’t belong.

Was all 4 removed?
Or did admnis do what you’re suggesting they should have done?
Besides, like I said the correct way to handle that is messaging the admins, not putting someone on blast on a bunch of different subs so people would harass them without knowing any details
They were witch-hunt posts

Did you read the comments?
Well if you contribute to a project AND have very firm political standing you put yourself on public display and have to live with people commenting on it.
What do you even mean with admins? Like the other developers? They apparently seemed fine with it. Also this is a issue of the broader lemmy community, because we have an extremism problem. Its true that it didn’t start with THIS developer. Silencing it like this is very problematic. Under the post were pretty interesting conversation going on about the broader issue.
