Yesterday I was reading the post about the FUTO keyboard where there were a lot of messages deleted by moderators.
I’ve commented there
What the heck happened with all the messages deleted by moderator?
And it got deleted. Right now you can only see 4, but I’ve counted 19 messages moderated and the post has been locked. Why?
I’ve had a look ad the modlog and the messages don’t seems to violate any policy (now they’ve removed them in the modlog too).
I’m pinging here lemmy.ml admin and the mods of the open source community where the post was posted so they can have their say about it and clarify the situation to me.

If I’m getting something wrong, please let me know, I’m here to discus and understand if I’m getting something wrong or if something went wrong in the moderation. Thanks!
Down here you can see the deleted comments.
P.s. I’m writing here because I think that this post on lemmy.ml wouldn’t last long.
Yes, you are the most important person in the Lemmyverse and the removal of misposting of non-open source content to an open source community is the most important thing happening in the Lemmyvarse. So pinging all the admins and mods is perfectly reasonable behavior. Everyone should stop whatever they’re doing and pay attention to you.
To be accurate, mentioning accounts in the body doesn’t ping people
Don’t mentions go to people’s inboxes?
Only from comments
Oh, thanks. That’s surprising & unexpected behavior.
Meh, it’s no different than creating a report. I get an email for every report made on programming.dev, someone pinging the admins isn’t/shouldn’t be a big deal.
When you make a report, the first mod who comes across it deals with it and clears it, and none of the other mods’ time is wasted on it.
When you @ all the mods, all the mods are alerted and everyone’s time is wasted, because you think you’re the main character.
I don’t know how lemmy.ml has it configured, but at programming.dev every admin is notified by email when a report is made 1. By our users, 2. About our users and 3. On our communities. Pinging is less “intrusive” in that sense.
