    Isn’t one of the chief selling points of the Fediverse that you can’t be censored because there’s always some instance that will welcome you? Another USP is that the rest of us don’t have to read it if we don’t want to.

      FWIW, if somebody deletes a post (whether it is a moderator or the user that made it), all the comments underneath it become virtually inaccessible. Ironically, that is worse than how Reddit handles it, where a moderator theoretically could delete comments, but must do it manually.

      Even if you make your own community, if you want to remove a bad post with good comments, you have to choose between keeping the post or destroying the comments.
