    I don’t think this is a Lemmy world issue. I think on many instances you would also see the same behavior. Somebody sharing something genuinely, innocently, and it’s being leveraged and twisted into a political moment. That discourages people from sharing.

      How can you call this innocent when horseback riding harms the horse.

        Innocent from the perspective of the person who is sharing. They intended no harm, they did not want to get involved in somebody else’s agenda.

        You clearly view the photograph in a different context, and you see harm. That’s fine, but if you’re going to bring that context into other people’s communities, you have to realize moderators may not want every person to be held to your standards. Hence the banning
