For me it was deleting my comments with Automoderator and not notifying me about it. I kept having to open my own comments in private windows just to make sure they weren't being deleted.

Then, when they are deleted, you have to spend a half hour playing whack-a-mole with the Automod trying to figure out what about your comment was triggering it.

That and powermods banning any comments contributing to discussion that happen to go against the mods' narrative, leaving the majority of subs as nothing more than huge circlejerking echo chambers.

I was just becoming to love saidit when I saw a heap of my first posts had been deleted by an automoderator here...

Truly the only solution is optional moderation. https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/54cp/can_we_make_moderation_optional_can_we_have/

Can you quote one of those posts for me, with full context? I absolutely support moderation of comments that aren't in good faith and are low on the Pyramid of Debate.

What rules did you break?

It says 48hr time limit on new accounts, but my posts were reasonable so. Saidit was quite less active then so less to post on. I think these sort of forced moderation rules are stupid and is another reason why moderation should be optional.
