I am totally new to lemmy.world and it didn’t start well. But here I am, trying to understand.

My first post was removed by automod from Not the Onion because it was not onion-y [not too sure if you have visibility so that was the article: U.S. Airdrops Food to Gaza While Arming Israel to Drop Bombs]. I have to say the human moderator replied to my message. Let’s see how that goes.

My second post was removed by automod from General Discussion. Automod wrote: this is not a support forum. It’s one thing to suggest another forum and a totally different thing to remove the post from General Discussion.

It was saying the following:

Is @automod programmed by Zionists?

Just got on lemmy.world and my first post in Not the Onion was removed by @automod with the argument not onion-y.

My assumption is in the title but I could be wrong. Any ideas anyone?

edit: in the title I changed the word Israelis to Zionists and apologies for my mistake to Israeli people that are not Zionists.

What is automod doing? That’s my question for real. If that’s what moderating looks like in lemmy.world please let me know.

    I don’t know why you would say this. Here is a screenshot I took yesterday.

    Mainly because I’m one of the moderators of the community, and so can see some more detail on what happened. I wasn’t aware that AutoMod is set to notify people when their posts/comments have been moderated, which is why you received that message.

    As you can gather, AutoMod isn’t something community moderators have deployed themselves (which is why I’m as unaware as you are of some of its functions), but is something from the admins in an effort to help moderate the instance as a whole.
