    Holy shit, I actually totally agree on this. Like I’ve thought about this often and come to the same conclusion. It should be something where people can view what is being removed if they wish.

    One of my biggest concerns with moderation is that moderator teams eventually attract people trying to conceal things and reducing what the spirit of the internet originally stood for.

    Like having a company try to erase any bad stories about it’s products by controlling all the spaces we could talk about that product.

    But if we can all still choose to see what is removed it gives us a big window into what moderation teams are manipulating things and which are honest teams.

      Except that there’s no incentive for a moderation team to implement that policy, and anyone with enough access can make a workaround to censor whatever they want without allowing people to view anyway, right?
