In one of my posts, I noticed this removed comment:
I was curious what it was, so I checked the modlog, but it states that the last mod action in this community occurred a month ago:
What's up with this? Are mod actions being scrubbed from the modlog?
I'm not quite sure what's going on so I shared this directly in our admin chat
hopefully we'll have an answer for this sometime todayπ
The user was banned. Unfortunately banning someone automatically removes all of their comments. A major flaw in the design of this platform.
Even worse: banning seems to be very un-transparent in the modlog. The fact that their comments are removed is not reflected at all. And when I search for that user in my instance's instance-wide modlog, the only thing that shows up is them being banned from three solarpunk communities for "genocide denial":
Looking on your instance's modlog is a little clearer in some ways, though it only shows 1 of those 3 community bans. There is also what looks like a site-wide ban, though it's very unclear who gave that ban. Their own instance admins? Your instance admins? Programming.dev instance admins (the admins of the community in which they were posting)? The modlog doesn't tell you.
Ok follow-up. I just checked the programming.dev modlog and it looks the same as my instance modlog. I believe that they have been banned by your instance, and the way instance admin bans works is they are banned from showing up on your instance. So I can still see their comments, users of programming.dev can still see their comments, etc. Only sh.itjust.works users can't see this user's comments, and thus only sh.itjust.works' modlog shows them as being banned.
Last I asked in the admin chat, they pointed me to this bug: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4699
That's a symbol I've not seen in a long time. A long time.
:)
Do you still play?
I mostly gave it up a long time ago, and have found it difficult to get back into any time I've tried. I miss the elegant simplicity of the 2013 version of the game, before all the complicated missions and minigames.
I've returned back to it, when Prime came there were few in the community that stopped as I did.
The reason for me now is to get myself to move/walk a bit more (has been somewhat successful in that) but I don't play it super actively and completely ignore the new scouting thing which is basically just "be our street-view monkey so that we can sell actual data".
Also if I didn't have active community where I play I don't think it would last too long at all.
I am mod on the community and see no "removed comment" in that thread. Is like a harder removal somehow...
