I find it quite disappointing when posts on Lemmygrad get deleted when they have valuable comments. Sure, the post itself might be bad or technically break a rule, but if it wasn’t removed straight-away and people already put high effort comments on it then it kinda sucks when it gets deleted.
We generally don’t, are you referring to a particular post?
It happened on a couple occasions before, but I was mainly referring to a post on Ask Lemmygrad that got removed today or yesterday. Though now when I think about it I’m not sure if it was removed by a mod/admin or the user themselves. Lemmy just gives me an error page.
Maybe the user in question deleted their post themselves.
The latest post removal in that community’s modlog is seven months ago. I can’t speak for individual mods, but we rarely remove posts that contain worthwhile comments. On a few occasions, a user’s posts and comments were unintentionally removed when banning them, but that will hopefully not happen again.
I assume the user themselves deleted the post in this case. The way the post itself becomes completely inaccessible after that is very unfortunate, but that’s a software rather than administration issue.
I appreciate the clarification.
