idk if you've never used a forum before, but low-effort/low-quality contributions are often removed from discussion based forums.
Even on 4chan, notorious for supposedly having minimal moderation, would likely remove a post like that on the better boards. idk the rules of whatever technology community you're referring to, but I assume they probably want to keep things on topic and avoid baiting and flaming shitposts
This isn't a forum like those that you're used to though, and "the mod didn't like it" is not a valid reason for deleting someone's reply and it doesn't contribute to civilized discussion and it isn't a civilized thing to do in the first place for someone in position of power. Maybe it's ok if you're a mod in your small group chat, for example, it's your room, your safe space, but it isn't ok in a place designed for everyone
That's why the comment was deleted, Jack. You can make your own shitposting community if you truly believe it to be an injustice, otherwise I think most people would be glad that a technology community would be for discussing technology, and not looking like a YouTube comment section.
It was deleted because of subjective feelings of a mod and it doesn't matter if you support it or not. I have already pointed out the reasons why that's not ok. Bye.
honey it's a shitpost, even in the wild west they had shariffs
