One of the advantages of lemmy is the transparent modlog, where I see a) lots of thankless work mods perform I assume for free b) 99.99% bullshit that is not constructive in a public forum. I'm adjusting my expectations about the false positive removal rate considering how much useless comments get through.
Where can the average user see the mod log for an instance? There’s a particular instance I’d be interested in reviewing.
Usually I just go to the instance e.g. feddit.nl and write feddit.nl/modlog, but when a comment gets removed from a thread, I assume that only the moderator from that thread has that power, so it will be in that thread's instances' modlog, but I'll admit that I'm not 100% sure that's what modlogs show. If somebody reports a comment from another instance, who does the removing?
PS: I can't access lemmy.ml actually and when I get the fediverse link of that discussion it turns out to be a lemmy.zip instance, but each post seems to point to the poster's instance, so I'm confused :D
