Hi!

Sometimes, a comment is deleted by a mod, and I’d like to see what it said without having to dig it manually.

For multiple reasons:

  • To keep mods accountable: We have seen mods abusing their power on some communities.
  • To understand context when reading replies of deleted comments.

Now, of course they shouldn’t simply show in the UI, it should show as deleted, but I could see an option to retrieve it from the “three dots” menu.

Thanks for the app!

    I think if you go to the modlog, click on a removed thing, THEN it’ll take you to a version of the thread where you can show deleted comments. You can still see the content anyways, it’s just more difficult to follow and make an informed view of what was happening.
