It wasn’t deleted but it has been scrubbed off the timeline of https://feddit.nl/c/thenetherlands -- yet the modlog is empty. What happened here?

Ah, I think I see what happened. A collection of accounts were used to down-vote my post then up-voted a bunch of older posts. This pushed the post off the 1st page in a way that goes unrecorded in the modlog.

Why would someone do that for your post though?

Exactly… makes no sense that that post would trigger a lot of people. We can only guess because down votes don’t come with an explanation.

What I’ve noticed in the nation-specific communities is there’s usually a strong amount of national pride. Denmark in particular but I notice the same in Netherlands communities. If a post can be taken to be negative or embarrassing to the region, criticism tends to be unwanted and down votes are likely.

In the case at hand the post was factually accurate and not really provocative. Since people wouldn’t likely get too emotionally hot-headed about ATMs, it seems unlikely that a large number of people would be so emotionally triggered. Probably just one person with many accounts.
