This post implies that there is something wrong with this community, which in itself is the people in it, which I guess includes me.

Do you have a reference to comments having been removed? I’m on mobile and can’t see the modlog.

Personally I’d prefer to be on the main community than splintered on one that was likely made by someone who wanted their own mod authority.

They are the same mods from Reddit which are well know for their intolerance to criticism.

Source? I’ve left many critical reviews there. Do you mean they dont allow rants? Because im ok with that

Look at the modlog. Yes some removals are justified but others are people criticising aspects of the show or writing.

There’s nothing wrong with the community. The mods however are the same mods from Reddit that banned me for saying that Star Trek Discovery is lower rated on Rotten Tomatoes than any of the series pre-2005. This was labelled as misleading and not constructive to a conversation about the rating various series have from users. When I sent a link with proof confirming my claim I was permanently banned.

I have more examples like people being banned for having the opinion that Kurtzman is the worst thing to happen to Star Trek but suffice to say the mods are the problem and 99% of the community are good people that are willing to accept criticism.

My community isn’t for my “mod authority” it is so people have a place to openly voice their opinions, likes, dislikes and above all criticism without the possibility of being banned because I don’t agree with them.

If someone thinks Discovery is peak Star Trek that’s great, I’m glad they enjoy that much. But also if someone thinks Discovery is the worst thing on TV then that is a perfectly valid opinion too and they should have a place to voice that opinion freely.

Also I’m not sure what you use to access Lemmy but if you use the website via a browser on mobile you can see the mod log. Some removals are justified but others like this one: “The part of confessing feelings was really badly done. It seems like no one in the writer’s room had a better idea at that point and then they ran out of time.” was removed 5 hours ago for “Not Constructive.”

It’s the person’s opinion, a valid opinion too that shouldn’t be removed because the mods don’t agree.
