I was curious so I looked in the modlog at your deleted comments. Some of them I honestly agree with being removed, but there are some odd deletions there.
Like your comment that was removed for "reason: Human wave tactics meme" is pretty tame and doesn't break any actual rules. Seems like a mod on worldnews@lemmy.ml is just butt hurt by anti-russia comments. What a weird reason for removal.
Edit: wow, just went down the rabbit hole of looking at what those mods in particular have been removing. They're all very obviously pro China and Russia.
Like this one was particularly interesting. On a post titled 'China doesn’t need to invade to achieve Taiwanese unification' a user commented just "*occupation" and the comment was removed for reason: Google White terror KMT. So... that's not a real reason. Just an abuse of power by the mod due to political bias. Cool.
Edit x2: That said, thank you lemmy for making everything so transparent so we can see all the info we need to keep everyone accountable
Oh, I've never looked into it, I just noticed it sometimes. I don't say anything harmful or nasty, just unpopular so I expect downvote burial even before I hit the post button haha. I figure that's how it's always meant to work. Downvotes handle dipshit remarks, mods handle malicious ones. But seems entire conversations with multiple people get removed because, despite all the positive upvotes and people involved in a good ol' fashion discussion, a mod has a different personal opinion and it all goes. Even the off-hand comments connected to that thread.
