Got a stern warning from a mod about crossposting too much

Last month I posted a screenshot of a deleted tweet to three different free speech subs, and a mod from one of them messaged me saying it was flooding their feed. They told me to pick one community per incident or risk a ban. I started just posting to Digital Free Speech Watch first and linking to the others in the comments instead. Has anyone else run into mods who crack down on crossposting even for important censorship cases?

Mods are just trying to keep their feed readable, you're the one in the wrong here.

Three different subreddits I'm in have had the same argument pop up this week about mods removing posts and it always goes the same way. @valsullivan is right that they're curating their feed but half the time they're just power tripping over nothing. I got a post removed from a local gardening group once because I asked about tomato blight without including a photo of the leaves. The rule said "plant issues need visual evidence" but it was a simple question not a diagnosis. Mods can be helpful but some of them treat every little thing like a crime scene investigation. It's not that serious, people just want to chat and learn stuff without jumping through hoops.
