Indeed I was able to restore their comments. However, it was somewhat of a fluke that I saw what happened.

I agree that their comments should be deleted automatically, however I did not like the message their comments were replaced with because it implies I banned them. It would also be nice if moderators and admin of other instances could at least be notified. If the user has written a really useful answer to a question or a how to guide then that could disappear forever. Someone else in this thread stated that the comments should be deleted forever. I really don’t like the idea of someone having the ability to delete things completely off of my server.

I own !dullsters@dullsters.net and mod !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world so that wouldn’t be allowed.

It looks like they had been banned from a community a week and a half ago and then banned completely yesterday. I can’t find any other bans.

They certainly had a lot of political hot takes, some popular some not. Account was a month old, so they may be a ban evader.

I did find this comment, but again, I can’t tell what it’s in referrence to.

My mindset is that if they’re following the rules of my communities what they do outside of those communities is their own business.

My communities are a place for people to post their shared experiences. The more people can humanize each other, the less they will act out.
