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 believe it was the original instance, it’s maintained by the devs, and the description on join-Lemmy.org is extremely misleading and does not make its extremist politics clear at all.

    So it had a lot of momentum early on, and the largest coms for many topics were hosted there. However, they definitely seem to be declining in influence over time as many users have opted to avoid the instance altogether and seek alternative communities elsewhere. That’s what I would recommend doing.
