Why was the post about that weird lemmy contributor removed?

Either its no concern for the Lemmy community, then it should stay because it may be an issue for the fediverse in whole or its a concern then it shouldn't be deleted.

I still see it.

- Lemmy world banned OP for “trolling and spam” which is bs imo.
  
  Well, the OP made a brand new account just to post that, and immediately spammed it to like 4 different subs...
  They should have just contacted admins off their actual account.
  Like, whoever that OP was they didn't handle this well, and then getting banned doesn't mean admins are ignoring the issue.
  
  Woah, that's pretty unexpected. I wonder if there is something else going on that we don't know about.
- Interesting
Lemmy core devs found to be left wing extremists, more news at 11.
- Well they always were pretty radical, so that's nothing new ... But now also the Lemmy community is turning more and more authoritarian (or it wasn't as apparent to me at it is now). That's why removing the post is really problematic. With this they seem to silence the extremism problem of the lemmy community, which (also never a secret) is partly due to the developers political standing.
  
  Protip: Authoritarianism comes in both forms, Communist Red and Yellow and Capitalist Red White and Blue.
Seems like the suspicion that the developers political standing does have an influence over a services community (especially in the beginning) is becoming more and more apparent. Of course the developers political standing somehow influences which users the service attracts.
