Wanted to check the original post but I'm getting a bad gateway error.
Out of context, there is nothing wrong with the comment. If I were the mod in charge, I probably wouldn't have removed it. However there is a chance maybe it is overreacting to the previous reply, or that the user is looking for controversial discussions all over the post just to upset people.
Or perhaps the mod really is at fault here, silencing an exchange of opinions because they have a strong stance on one side of the argument.
Added context: the removed comment is from a hexbear, which I find even more ironic, because it was one of the more level-headed ones :)
It was the worldnews@lemmy.ml but I'm not sure where it is because lemmy.ml does not seem to exist.
