Yesterday I was reading the post about the FUTO keyboard where there were a lot of messages deleted by moderators.
I’ve commented there
What the heck happened with all the messages deleted by moderator?
And it got deleted. Right now you can only see 4, but I’ve counted 19 messages moderated and the post has been locked. Why?
I’ve had a look ad the modlog and the messages don’t seems to violate any policy (now they’ve removed them in the modlog too).
I’m pinging here lemmy.ml admin and the mods of the open source community where the post was posted so they can have their say about it and clarify the situation to me.

If I’m getting something wrong, please let me know, I’m here to discus and understand if I’m getting something wrong or if something went wrong in the moderation. Thanks!
Down here you can see the deleted comments.
P.s. I’m writing here because I think that this post on lemmy.ml wouldn’t last long.
I don’t really know much about lemmy development but isn’t ml the official instance endorsed by its devs?
That Is one reason why I choose to join a kbin instance back in the day. Many lemmy devs are scummy people who support this.
i try to block all .ml groups so I don’t engage them. You should too.
TL;DR is that Lemmy was originally created to make a Reddit alternative where communists could talk freely after they got tired of Reddit. Both .ML and Lemmygrad were created by the founders and were the most popular instances by far until we moved here.
Despite terrible moderation and really questionable activity, the devs never called ML the official instance and encouraged that people spread out to other instances. It’s still known as the tankie instance today.
Pretty much yes. although I’ve seen the opposite usually from what OP is describing.
Yes, and the devs themselves are maoists.
