Does the Lemmy mod log no longer show users the comments that have been removed by mods? Another user and I were recently banned from !aboringdystopia@lemmy.world for the generic reason of being a “troll account”. The thread referenced by the mod log was about Zionist genocide so the bans make me instantly suspicious. However I don’t want to go full attack dog until I see the comments that were removed.

Can anybody help me figure out how to read my own comments that have been removed? The normal screen I go to shows me the contents of other comments that I have had removed by moderators, but this time it doesn’t.

Also to be clear: I am not here to argue about my ban, I’m mostly just confused. The moderator who banned me has personally disliked me for a long time because I tend to call out their lies, but they never came across to me as the petty ban type, which is what makes these bans in a thread about Zionism extra suspicious.

There is a story to that lol. Do you remember when the comics community was completely unmoderated for months, but there was a terrible and vicious troll that made the user base drop because they were making everyone miserable? There were months of complaining and nothing being done.

Then I decided to sacrifice my account and say the most offensive thing I could think of. Miraculously, literally one day later after months of problems, the community got a new moderator that banned him and me. The community is now healthy again and I’m perfectly happy to be the punching bag villain because that’s what it took.
