Dont blank out info for removed content · Issue #1813 · LemmyNet/lemmy
github.com
I think that #1680 goes too far and hides too much information of removed content, making the mod log useless. For example, here is a removed post: This used to have the title, text and link still ...

Currently it blanks out the content ( IE the post title, etc ) when you go to a mod removed post, but you will still see the title in the modlog.

Should we continue to blank out mod removed posts and communities, or show their content when you go to them?

    The mod-log seems like an important transparency tool and I am glad it exists in Lemmy. It would be a shame if that got nerfed to a point where it would have little value left.

      The modlog is staying the same, and it will always show what got removed. This is more about when you go to a removed post or community, should it show all the info.

        Hmm, ok I see, My bad that I miss-understood.

        I think there is the need to hit a sweet-spot between using the upcoming “purge” as little as possible (for transparency reasons) but not leave an instance-admin open to legal issues if the content of a post can’t be left publicly accessible.

        Might add unnecessary complexity, but how about letting the moderator choose with the check-box if the content is blanked out or not when removing a post?

          I’d rather purge and mod remove be distinct, that would be overly complex IMO to add more weird types of removes outside of those two.
