“We completely acknowledge that the post was removed in error and that this removal should not have occurred in the first place,” they wrote. “We have talked with all the moderators on the team to ensure that this does not happen again. We are committed to fixing our mistakes, and we reapproved the post as soon as we were made aware of the issue.”

Really don’t think this is that news worthy, in the end. It was some new guy that didn’t do his research on the post, and just assumed it was a blurry picture of an airplane from the ground. Once the more experienced mods were notified, they restored the post and apologized. It’s a pretty sensationalized headline, though that’s to be expected I suppose

This is a perfect example of how petty people hide behind rules.

The “article” “author” completely misunderstood the “tower, can I get a speed check” joke

Fuck Reddit and their failed leadership.

That’s why I’m on Lemmy.
