I made a post on asklemmy @ lemmy.ml and it was deleted by mods apparently due to “super toxic comments” that users made. I didn’t get a chance to view all the comments and still would like to. However, using this backlog: https://lemmy.ml/modlog?page=1&userId=2461030 , https://lemmy.ml/post/3809854 It says that the post couldn’t be found. Not sure if that’s just a temporary server issue or it’s gone completely. Is there a way to view posts that were deleted by mods (even if you made the post yourself)?

    Yeah I don’t like this behavior. If nothing else, the creator should at least be able to see the post in their profile.

      Agreed. Another thing I would change is that I wasn’t alerted that the post had been removed, only saw that it was missing from my profile. And I only found the reason for the deletion once I used the backlog feature, which isn’t a feature that’s made immediately known to users (I only found it after researching).

        I wasn’t alerted that the post had been removed

        Are we supposed to get notifications for post removals? I’d be in favor for that.

        What was the title of the post? I can see if it’s still cached on my side.
