If someone was to make the same comment in this community, I would leave it and discuss why or why not it should happen. I usually only remove content that is disrespectful (insults, harassment) or break the rules. Removing opinions you disagree with doesn’t seem to create a healthy space for conversation.
Also, traffic itself isn’t worth much, and actively moderating a community isn’t a task a lot of people want to do (as you can see in the post, nobody really volunteers).
About it being “my” community, I accept any mod who would like to help (we now have a few, that is nice). There isn’t any real benefit of moderating a community, it’s more of a hassle than anything else, which is probably why nobody wanted to do it over there.

I get you don’t think you were engaging in self-promotion by publicly talking up your community within their community, but you actually were, and it’s explicitly against their rules. And yes, as a mod of this community, it is your community, as it is for anyone involved in this community and who has an interest in driving traffic to it

Let’s agree to disagree!

It’d be better if you accepted you broke that community’s rules and the mod was justified in removing your comment rather than complaining about it and putting them on blast so publicly
