    Whilst you are probably right, upvotes are not equal to good content. There is a strong correlation between votes and good content but one is not the cause of the other.

    Eg. Facists upvoting facist content. Its not good content, but its got lots of upvotes.

      You know what isn’t good content? Suggesting something based purely on presumptions. He was banned from lemmy.world and in true lemmy.world fashion they deleted his entire comment and post history, so you can’t even normally look it up in the modlog.

      What he said was:

      man slop

      Yes Please

      touch man slop

      alias lick=“rm”

      lick man slop

      Ironically, he was banned from Fuck AI for posting AI slop too.

      The reason the user was banned from lemmy.world was apparently ban evasion from users who self-identified as attention whores. The original account seems to have been banned for multiple unflagged NSFW posts, and other inappropriate posts, including their last one where they seem to have admitted to having a vendetta against lemmy.world and that they were basically going to shitpost AI all over it.

      Nothing wrong with the comments that were removed in this thread, but damn the irony of making those comments and who was making them.

        Thank you for the write-up. I was wondering why these comments were removed too before looking at the account and realizing the whole thing was gone.

        Is there any way to view comments removed by moderators without wading into the modlogs, or do servers simply respect those decisions?

          Some instances in other platforms don’t synchronize user comments in the same way. Their comments are still removed within the threads, but you can still go to the user page and check them out which makes more sense IMO. Actually, forget that last part, it’s likely an artifact of federation due to how other platforms handle whatever is going on in the back end.
