if you’re not community banned you might still be instance banned on the community instance, which wouldn’t show up in your local instances modlog if the ban happened on a <0.19.4 instance. if the methods pointed out by other comments here fail I suggest you visit the instance of the community and check the site modlog there, searching for your user.

i suspect you’re referring to your post to a lemmy.ml community and you have indeed been instance banned there for a limited amount of time.

I just keep reading ai gore…

I can sell you a copy of lemmys source code, are you interested?

sure they do, you’re one of them

people on mastodon need to mention a lemmy community to post there. you can’t see mastodon posts on lemmy unless they’re in a community. comments from lemmy are a pretty bad experience on mastodon I believe.

you can enable end to end encryption, it’s optional. I don’t think it’s enabled by default.

until 0.19.4 is released, clients are supposed to suppress comment contents when the comment is either marked as removed (moderator) or deleted (creator).

they might decide to show contents to site admins or community moderators anyway, but some clients did not implement this properly and show the original content to all users.

this is of course not something that should have been available to everyone in the first place, which is why this is being fixed in 0.19.4.

depending on the client, you should still see some kind of indicator above the comment text that shows it was removed or deleted, in this case removed.

won’t be the case for much longer, the next lemmy release is removing that.

i suggest you remove this quote and summarize it with fewer details if you need to have it there in the first place. you’re effectively advertising for them now and undoing the moderator action of removing this advertisement.

Are those downvotes maybe coming from non-Lemmy instances?

As an admin you should be able to see the downvotes of the post that made it to your instance.

I’m wondering if some software might be broadcasting votes to all linked instances, while I believe Lemmy only sends them to the community instance and it’s the community instance’s responsibility to relay them.

fwiw, every week or so there is a scheduled task that permanently overwrites contents of deleted comments.

fyi @freamon@lemmy.world
