idk if you've never used a forum before, but low-effort/low-quality contributions are often removed from discussion based forums.

Even on 4chan, notorious for supposedly having minimal moderation, would likely remove a post like that on the better boards. idk the rules of whatever technology community you're referring to, but I assume they probably want to keep things on topic and avoid baiting and flaming shitposts

    This isn't a forum like those that you're used to though, and "the mod didn't like it" is not a valid reason for deleting someone's reply and it doesn't contribute to civilized discussion and it isn't a civilized thing to do in the first place for someone in position of power. Maybe it's ok if you're a mod in your small group chat, for example, it's your room, your safe space, but it isn't ok in a place designed for everyone

    and it doesn't contribute to civilized discussion

    That's why the comment was deleted, Jack. You can make your own shitposting community if you truly believe it to be an injustice, otherwise I think most people would be glad that a technology community would be for discussing technology, and not looking like a YouTube comment section.
