But, within the context of lemmy.ml worldnews, I don’t have the right to say this thing. That’s the whole reason we’re talking about this. Plenty plenty of times online and offline I’ve said some thing and everyone’s yelled at me about how I’m wrong, and that’s completely fine with me. Removing the comment is a different story. And yes, I got butthurt about it and came to complain about it. Is it legal? Sure, they’re not the government, so the first amendment doesn’t apply to them. Can I go somewhere else? Sure. Do I feel like complaining because the mod did that? Sure. And so, here we are.
If that behavior by mods doesn’t bother you once you read the context, then you’re not the target audience and you don’t need to care, no. That part is completely up to you.

Do you ask to speak with the manager when the bartender kicks you out of the bar for being a whiny little shit that’s disturbing other customers?
Same deal. If the owner doesn’t want you in the premises you have no recourse. This is not a public place. You have no rights here. Coming to .world to complain about what a .ml mod did is like complaining about the bartender with the patrons of the Wendy’s next door. Sir, we don’t care. This is a Wendy’s and you’re yelling at the customers.

I guess where we differ is that my comment is, to me, in no way shape or form “being a whiny little shit.” It’s commentary on what the government of Israel is doing, in a community for discussing world events. If you see my comment the way you’re describing it, and feel that removing it from a communication network is just the mods doing their due diligence and keeping the network the way it’s supposed to be, then I think we’re not gonna be able to see eye to eye about this.

Whether you were in fact acting one way or the other is irrelevant. You’re still complaining to the tenants of one building that you got kicked out of another, entirely unrelated, building down the same street. And, judging by your overall attitude and demeanor all over this thread, I’m inclined to think that whatever reason that mod had to remove the comment, you don’t deserve any consideration. But still, it happened in a building where we have no say or power of interdiction. So still, I see no reason to care about your butthurt whining.

I’ll take your feedback under advisement.
