Ok, so, I crossposted the documentary “Four Horsemen 2012” to !documentaries@slrpnk.net and it got removed for not being “a solarpunk themed documentary” - all good, it was my mistake I didn’t check it’s a community for documentaries with a specific there/topic.
Then, I wake up to the message from the SAME PERSON (Five@slrpnk.net) removing the same documentary from !Documentaries@lemmy.world which I assume is a GENERAL PURPOSE instance for documentaries about all topics. Their reason was: “I’m going to remove this documentary out of solidarity for Ukraine” even tho the documentary had NOTHING to do with Ukraine and doesn’t even mention it ONCE! I’m super confused. The rules for this community don’t even say anything about certain documentaries being allowed or not. What is happening? Ideological censorship?
Here is their full message and modlog (they are a very new mod and apparently this is the only post that was removed recently):

The more I learn about the documentary, the more Vladislav Surkov vibes I get from it. If you’re interested in what that means, Adam Curtis has a good explanation YT, and the entire documentary Hypernormalization is a great watch.
I’m going to take this down, out of solidarity with Ukraine, but don’t take this personally. I hope your journey of political self-discovery continues.
Did you look into what the mod said? "If you’re interested in what that means, Adam Curtis has a good explanation YT, and the entire documentary Hypernormalization is a great watch." - you might find something in that documentary that could clear up some confusion? Not sure though as I don't know what the mod meant either, and can't watch the doc at the mo as I'm at work.
