Just wondering what the limit is on rule 2 as I see things like covid vaccine effect questions, what scams are still around and other spicy topics. Don’t want to make anyone upset but it seemed odd.

I’m guessing because OP was lying about his interaction with hexbear and their removed comments as well as that post were posted as a screenshot to hexbear. There was probably a huge flood of hexbear comments calling them out and the mods figured it would be easier to just remove the post.
Just my guess.
But I read those interactions and I did not see anything there that was misrepresented. I guess I am wondering why not just remove the insult comments as they broke the rules instead of nuking the whole thing?
My guess is that it’s just an equation of energy input and time spent. Is it worth removing the problem comments if they keep coming back? How much time as a mod are you willing to spend removing and banning people like that? I can understand taking the approach they did. Personally, I think maybe just locking the thread would’ve been a better compromise. But I’m not a mod here nor would I want to be lol
Is it weird I hope its due to laziness? Like I get it, moderating a potential dumpster fire and all, but it does give a lot of power and potential for bullying content.
