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 sidebar, 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.
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.
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~~
Edit: Just noticed another thread confirming Lemmy does have this option 👌

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.
it has been. besides the normal “remove” function, there is also a “purge” function which does not record the content in the modlog.
