There was a post earlier about the UAP senate hearings that happened today.

Now the post is gone. Why?

    Are you sure they’re being deleted? Federation is a bit weird in that the instance you’re browsing from might not have a piece of content for whatever reason (database rollback/restore or other issues) but if it was posted then it’s out there somewhere on an instance that grabbed it while it was still up.

      I’m pretty sure.

      All the apps also error out when I try to view replies to my comment that was on said post.

      The error is that the post cannot be found.

      I’m pretty sure it’s been deleted. I’ll try to confirm that via federation logs though.

        Most likely the poster deleted the comment. The replies still exist in the lemmyverse but you need a direct link. If a mod deletes a post or comment, you’ll see it in the modlog.

        I also see your account is on “infosec.pub” in the same way mine is on “social.vmdk.ca” so you can try searching on lemmy.world or some other instance for the post in question using keywords. For example I found this on lemmy.world directly while searching for UAP, no idea if it’s what you’re talking about. https://lemmy.world/post/1812373

          Thanks.

          According to the modlog here it was deleted by mods

          There was a linked article but the reason says it was not a direct link to the source?

          Annoying since it was gaining traction and posts on the topic tend to be deleted due to stigma. Was common on Reddit.

          Actually the mod log shows alot of posts deleted for seemingly arbitrary reasons like:

          “Activism” , “misleading”, “misinformation”, and “health” (?)

          Hate seeing news articles being so strictly filtered.
