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!

It's obvious you already know this, but posting for others who might be unaware:

If you see deleted comments, you can go to the bottom of the community's sidebar and click the "Modlog" button above the mod list. It'll bring you to a page like this where you can see all mod actions in that community including the full text of deleted comments. Here you can see the two in OP's screenshot were (rightfully) removed for being conspiracy theories.
