Thats interesting, and kinda goes against the point of a modlog in the firstplace
Kinda. It is to hold moderators accountable for their actions, but if you’re both a moderator and owner of an instance, you are God on you own instance and you can purge whatever the hell you want. In this case, the owners of lemmy.mlare the tankies.
Does an instance’s local copy of the log keep the actions?
A modlog is instance specific and does not get federated, so lemmy.ml’s modlog is entirely different from lemmy.world’s modlog.
Defederated instances aren’t federated to see the content that would be moderated from their instance to make it to a modlog.
Skipping across potholes of a fragmented fediverse will cause all sorts of screwy results, especially when you have communities and users instance banned navigating defederated instances in these topics.
Defederating unravels the Fediverse, which is the point for some demanding it.
Some mod actions aren’t federated to other instances’ modlogs. I’m not sure if this is just a federation glitch, or if they’re running a modified version of the Lemmy backend that let’s them exclude individual mod actions from federation.
It will actually look more like this:

Thank god for the modlog.
They purge the modlog too.

But you can see the modlog for specific communities, and that federates.

Defederation is necessary for the fediverse to work. It will get abused, just like any other tool.

I think ml does, there was accusations of them doing that.
I though that each instance would just log whatever mod actions get sent to it.
10/10.
Completely accurate, no notes
Nailed it.

User was banned for this post. Reason: Encouraging voilence, jaywalking, and lewd behavior
Nah, it’s always
Reason: Rule 1
They also sometimes throw in Xenophobia as the reason, if you criticize the Russian or Chinese govt
Criticism of China’s government = sinophobia (somehow) = banned for bigotry
You can’t fool me!
exactly what happened last time lol and now I can’t load comments on one of their communities I don’t remember which
