Its obvious to me, the community was fine with it. Yes there was one annoyed dude demanding censorship.
Also, if I annoyed you by bringing up the death of my brother, good. Good.

Rest at ease, friend, you've landed on free parking. Do what you like but be kind otherwise, straight to jail.

The one annoyed person had 10 upvotes of users agreeing with them, and for those 10 people the community rules are very explicit.
Mods here at lemmy and any other platform are unpaid volunteers who donate their time. Sometimes communities have stupid rules but you can't be mad going to a place, clearly breaking the rules, and then having the post removed. Well you could be mad but it's an entirely self manufactured problem. And if you want a politics-OK showerthought community then you could try discussing the rule in the existing community, check other showerthought communities, or create your own community.
But this is why i try to read community rules before posting. Like this community i had never heard of before so checked the sidebar before commenting. Helps head off problems.
This type of civility only serves to maintain status quo.
