The politics sub for my country (UK) was doing an AMA with some shitty hard-right misinfo rag. Using an undelete util, I was able to see that they’d deleted any questions relating to the publications track record of provable dis- and misinfo. And they weren’t questions like “fuck you you pieces of shit”, they were well-written and polite. But didn’t fit the narrative trying to be built.

I commented something like “Why are fair and reasonable questions being deleted? I thought this was ask me anything, not make x publication look good”

I was immediately banned for ‘persistent mod abuse’.
