Looking at the modlog, it was because the comment section was turning into a lynch mob, frothing at the mouth, and calling for more and more intense violence. Hiding behind “I’m totally joking, but…” isn’t the magic shield you think it is.
No, this isn’t Reddit, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to platform calls for violence and extremism.
Okay thanks I will take your word that those “violent comments” were there, since you hold all the evidence. I’m an adult and know if calls for violence go too far, I don’t need a mod to hide stuff from me and delete and lock comments without explanation.
Alright I appreciate this but on mobile this isn’t always a convenient option. Mod removals should link to this automatically and be more transparent for why comments were removed in the first place. All I see is aggressive tactics and in this day and age speech should be protected first before automatic censorship.

I linked to the modlog through Lemmy World’s instance of Tesseract. I’m the dev of that UI, and I agree with you that removal reasons should be more accessible.
A version or two ago I built in a feature to automatically resolve the removal reason and append it where the comment would be, right there in the comment section. If that’s disabled, there’s a button to take you to the modlog for that item.
If Tesseract isn’t your cup of tea, maybe ask the dev of your client to add a similar feature.

They’re literally in the modlog - all you have to do is look.
