    Thats interesting, and kinda goes against the point of a modlog in the firstplace

    Kinda. It is to hold moderators accountable for their actions, but if you’re both a moderator and owner of an instance, you are God on you own instance and you can purge whatever the hell you want. In this case, the owners of lemmy.ml are the tankies.

    Does an instance’s local copy of the log keep the actions?

    A modlog is instance specific and does not get federated, so lemmy.ml’s modlog is entirely different from lemmy.world’s modlog.

        Defederated instances aren’t federated to see the content that would be moderated from their instance to make it to a modlog.

        Skipping across potholes of a fragmented fediverse will cause all sorts of screwy results, especially when you have communities and users instance banned navigating defederated instances in these topics.

        Defederating unravels the Fediverse, which is the point for some demanding it.
