It seems easier to register in infosec.pub than on sh.itjust.works, I just did it and there’s not even a captcha. It might have more to do with the server problems and what it may be doing to other instances. Or it might just be that time of the year again,
From my view the original comment has been replaced with “deleted by creator”. If a user deletes a comment in Lemmy 0.18.5 then it and all its child comments are removed from public view. Though @AMillionNames@sh.itjust.works will still see their own comment in the comment history section of their user profile. I think that this behavior will change when we upgrade to 0.19x, and non-admin users will see “deleted by creator” as well.
There appears to be something else going on, too. If you view the post from lemmy.ca or literature.cafe (both of which are on Lemmy 0.19.1) the original comment is still there. It’s like those instances never got the memo that the comment was deleted. I can only assume this is related to the ongoing federation issues in Lemmy 0.19.x?
The only comment I deleted was the one hanging off of https://sh.itjust.works/comment/6657926 (which was basically me pointing out the same thing I later replied in this thread about, the comment not showing up). Which makes sense, because it doesn’t show up.
If I had deleted https://sh.itjust.works/comment/6657926 itself, you should not be able to see it. But you can, and anyone can. What they can’t do is see it from the thread discussion itself.
And no, the comment I actually did delete does not show in my history … because I deleted it.
kersploosh dug around and found that I had responded to a top level comment and not to the thread directly, and this comment was removed but also prevented the comments hanging from it from displaying, so it’s all cleared up now.
This exact thing happened to me at Lemmy world and I brought it up in their main support. I mentioned that they weren’t acting straight forward and then the admins started trolling me. There’s something in the software that lets you do this, at least in Lemmy world, or they’ve figured out how. I’m now losing faith in lemmy which seems to be their intent. I like the idea of it, but this messing with the software to troll or silence people isn’t great.
That’s not the same thing, kerploosh dug around and found that I had responded to a top level comment and not to the thread directly, and this comment was removed but also prevented the comments hanging from it from displaying. I’ll update the comment.
But I know what you mean. The modlog hardly matters if the interface is so non-intuitive that you can’t easily tell what has happened. What you are describing could be due to federation synchronization issues, I’ve been noticing a lot of those lately. Don’t get me wrong, there’s definitely at least one top lemmy.world admin who is still in the team and is an asshole who will happily make shit up while sweeping problems they created under the rug, but lemmy is also buggy enough on its own, it seems.

No, it wasn’t federation issues. I can see why you think that and I wish it were that. I didn’t take screenshots because I thought we were away from the old place, but I could have proven it. They’re EEEing through lemmy world and I hope ruud isn’t in on it. They’ve figured out how to silence people with the most used instance. It makes me wonder how many have already left because of them, I’m thinking of leaving myself.

I posted this comment 14 days ago,
I’m curious why it’s not showing up with the rest of the comments (or my reply to it) but there isn’t a modlog removal.
I remember that comment. Did you leave it under this post?
It still shows up here: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/6657926
But it isn’t visible when viewing the whole thread.
Asked our lovely admins!

(See admin reply) Any chance you deleted the comment?
Maybe while drunk, or maybe your kid had ahold of your computer, or maybe while your kid was drunk… 🙃
