I feel honored. Thanks for the gold kind stranger!
ObiWhat was it?
To prevent possibly upsetting even more people, I’d reccomend reading the deleted comment from our modlog instead. :)
For anyone who doesn’t know where the modlog is, if you’re on PC you can click the green “Modlog” button on the right, which can be found alongside other community stats like users / day. Warning: Do this at your own risk.
Out of curiosity, what is the line for content that would be censored from there? Being able to go and see the post and poster, in some cases, won’t be enough for moderation.
I don’t think there’s a line. While you can still see the deleted content in text format there, an user must do so at their own discretion. It’s not the mod team’s responsibility at that point, as long as there’s proper reasons provided for the deletion of said content.
What about a link to CP? Or other illegal or abusive content? Or instructions on how to access content like that, or engage in human trafficking, or plans to commit a terrorist attack?
I think there are some lines that need to be considered both to protect the instance and admins and for the general good.
i mean, plans for terrorist attacks should rather be documentend and reported to the police, and people being informed about those is not really bad, but CP? Yeah, idk, that should be possible to be properly deleted from the site, yeah.
Yea, I’m just tossing shit out the most extreme shit I can think of. If Lemmy is gonna grow, this shit needs to be considered.
Arthur Besseit has been. besides the normal “remove” function, there is also a “purge” function which does not record the content in the modlog.
Haha yeah, also this shows up as a “remove content” checkmark while banning an user. In the modlog, for example, there’s only one comment by the banned user here, and that’s because it was manually deleted. The rest of their content here then received a goodbye from us along with the user themselves.
If a user deletes their own account, Lemmy will federate an edit and deletion event to remove the content from other servers’ databases. If banning a user had a similar option for purging then that would address this I think.
However if the modlog holds a discrete copy of the removed content then that’s an issue if the removed content is illegal
It’s also possible to read it in the Liftoff app by accessing the so-called “Nerd stuff” of the comment
Using the Jerboa app you can apparently use the “View Source” option on the comment to view it as well. Just figured that out myself out of curiosity.
May be worth flagging that user to the lemmyworld instance admins, they show up in the modlog quite a bit
I did that. And it looks like they took care of it.
