Put a bit more nicely: deleting and removing popular posts with lots of engagement is a much more harmful action than a post in the wrong comm, especially if the original comm is cth, because it's a catch-all.
If people are enjoying and interacting with a post it should stay up, the whole point of this website is enjoying and interacting with posts.
Instead of deleting, can't mods just comment that future posts should go wherever? Or is it possible for mods to migrate a post from one comm to another? That would really be the best solution. But deleting something with high engagement is just going to dampen engagement and feels like a "take my ball and go home" use of mod permissions
Exactly, I had said it before, it's fine to want posts in their respective community, but if it already is doing numbers, you lost
Second this.
