A post of mine was deleted without note, what is going on?
Edit: it was a bug where I was not sure if it is a bug or just a config issue.
I would be happy about having an automated message linking to bugzilla when such a removal happens.
I posted something related to Plasma and cursor issues with Flatpaks, and it was removed.
I cannot see who removed it.
I tried contacting the KDE account but got no reply.

Look at the community sidebar. Theres just one rule
Plasma 6 Bugs
If you encounter a bug, proceed to https://bugs.kde.org, check whether it has been reported.
If it hasn't, report it yourself.
DO NOT POST ABOUT IT HERE.
Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.
BUG REPORTS POSTED TO THIS INSTANCE WILL BE DELETED.
Well usually I report stuff that may not be a bug in some other media first.
If this happens again, feel free to contact me. Discussing bugs is fine here.
Discussing bugs is fine? Uhm okay haha thanks? I thought its only okay to discuss stuff that may be not a bug or outside of Plasma
This instance could definitely have a QA community. If they want, instead of enforcing the rule, simply state "bug reports should go here and there, questions and answers are run by users themselves in the respective community". Then, everyone would be happy.
Also Lemmy is way better on the go than Bugzilla. But its true that bugs will not be useful here.
But having an automated message that links to bugzilla would already help
Like there is on Reddit. That's a good idea
