News just came out that Nicholas Hoult is joining the season 2 Harry Potter cast.

I like him and a lot of things he’s been in and didn’t see it anywhere on Lemmy yet, so I posted it to lemmy.world’s News community.

Post was a link to the article that first broke the news, used it’s title as my post title, followed all instance and community rules.

Post was removed as “not news” and I was temp banned for “multiple rule violations.” Of course the mod can’t list what rules those would be, because it didn’t violate any of them. If the News community only allows posts on certain news topics then it should specify those in it’s rules.

This is actually worse than Reddit. At least Reddit has so many users that when mods keep doing things like this it creates enough drama that they stop or end up replaced. Lemmy mods seem to remove anything they personally don’t like and ban anyone who questions them.

      It’s news? I like the actor. I’m fairly disappointed. I thought others might also have opinions they would like to share on this social media discussion platform.

      There were several other posts on the News community about things like Firefly starting to make a new animated series, an actress giving her opinion on a movie, and multiple TMZ articles that really were celebrity gossip instead of news.

      When you’re relatively new to a place and mods seem to be deleting things and banning for no reason with no communication that’s a bit odd. This community says it’s the place to post such issues. Why would you accuse someone trying to use it for that of being attention seeking?
