    all the power is already in the hands of the users.

    but the users are being manipulated. The vast majority will never look at the mod log and never realise that the comments they’re seeing have been editorialised.

      but the users are being manipulated. The vast majority will never look at the mod log and never realise that the comments they’re seeing have been editorialised.

      Hence, what I mentioned two times: the need to inform them by opening the discussion first.
      Users don’t need to be gifted/attributed a new leader/mod. They need to decide by themselves if they need a new one, or not.

      Also, if there is no clue that a comment has been removed/censored (isn’t there some default text displayed?), then that should be something to discuss with Lemmy’s devs as I don’t think deleting comments should be invisible.

      Any user can easily see that comments have been removed, it says removed by mod, and you can also see that they weren’t downvoted heavily before removal. There’s no shadowbanning or anything like that on Lemmy, it’s right there for everyone to see.
