The thing is it’s working because you are coming here to vent about it and there’s no “he said, she said, they said”. Not blaming you for coming, that is the right move. Each person can independently assess if the mod actions are reasonable or unreasonable.
Automod doesn’t change that, and honestly I think automods are needed to relieve the burden on volunteer mods on a growing userbase, even if there will be false positives sometimes. That can be reversed through manual review. If you don’t like the decision of those mods, go to an alternate community, especially for news, tech and politics topics, there are plenty out there on the Lemmyverse.
