relevant magazine is /m/RedditMigration here on kbin.social. You can see it’s the one and only report in the modlog yet the user who removed the comment is not listed in the moderators list, is not even a kbin.social user, and did not remove a lemmy.ml comment. Yet, it was removed for me as a kbin.social user.
How is this moderation working exactly? It’s understandable that lemmy.ml mods can remove things for lemmy users, and mods on a magazine can remove things on the magazine. But it seems this is an unrelated user, removing a post of a user from an unrelated instance from a unrelated magazine.
How is this possible? what’s going on here?
Edit: I checked on lemmy.world’s copy and the comment is still visible, meaning the removal did not federate to lemmy.world.
Not really. That has to be a bug in kbin, not a problem with Lemmy. Lemmy allows admins to delete stuff off their own instance, but kbin shouldn’t be just accepting that as a mod action from any admin on any server it’s federated with. That doesn’t even make sense. I assume it’s just a weird interaction of different ways of handling things on kbin and Lemmy.
It honestly would be a terrible idea to allow some cross instance moderation to help ease the load. It would just require a lot of trust.
Edit: yes I meant wouldn’t ^. don’t want to change it now.
