Just really showing off the level of articulation from the comms on this lemmy community and maybe even their intelligence.

I made a post about experimenting with compressed air and showing that it results in a mist coming out which would be an experiment without a hypothesis and related to science.

The post would reasonably be able to stay up given then only rule is be kind, but there's now unsaid rules the mods will make up.

The comm could definitely use clearer rules, but a glance makes it pretty clear that it's used for science news articles, not citizen science experiments.

And as another commentor said, insulting mods is a great way to get banned.

Maybe with your clear edge in intelligence, you might find one of the handful of communities actually meant for complaining about moderators, like powertrippingbastards.

So seeing science news article means this comms is only for science articles even though the description has civil discussion in it?

If I'm bored enough I'll post to those comms
