Hi!
Sometimes, a comment is deleted by a mod, and I'd like to see what it said without having to dig it manually.
For multiple reasons:
- To keep mods accountable: We have seen mods abusing their power on some communities.
- To understand context when reading replies of deleted comments.
Now, of course they shouldn't simply show in the UI, it should show as deleted, but I could see an option to retrieve it from the "three dots" menu.
Thanks for the app!
Why not make it a choice of the user? You can already choose to blur nsfw images by default or not. Why not a checkbox “show removed comments inline” and leave it up to the user to decide if they want it or not?
Why bother removing it at all?
You answered a question with a question. My point of giving the user a choice still stands. The information is already available, it just makes it easier for people to consume if desired. No where in there did I say it should be the default either.
