It looks like a lot of mistakes were made in your case. I saw your posts asking about dialogue and such. I'm surprised no one has reached out to you because, speaking for myself, when I remove something and give an explanation in the modlog and I'm asked more questions by message, I always reply and explain myself. I'm sure someone will interact with you if you send an admin a message. I looked at the log and it looks like a script or other automated action is to blame. The admin actually caught the issue and tried to restore your posts. It also looks like it was a "suspected spam" type of deletion that was corrected. I understand your irritation. I wouldn't want to be in your situation because you took lots of time to add content to a community you care about. However, it looks like one of those things we call an "honest mistake" that somebody on the admin team tried to take back. I haven't seen a case like this, it's very eye-catching to me, because it's so obviously a mistake. To help make you feel better, I'll tell you a little story. 2 years ago I spent about 2000 bucks on a Lenovo Legion 5 gaming laptop. I took it to a computer repair guy to clean the dust out of it on the inside and replace the thermal paste on the CPU and GPU. He used a forced air compressor to clean the fans and didn't see that a loose wire on his work table was inadvertently in contact with one of the cooling fans. Snap! Broke the fan. He apologized personally to me (like, you know, face to face) and promised me he would replace the component he broke free of charge, plus do the whole entire job in front of me so I could see what he was doing. He fulfilled his promise. I must admit, it was quite boring to sit through watching him take out all the screws, etc. But he kept his word and did the right thing. The people that run lemmy world seem to me to be a lot more honest than dishonest and also very willing to admit they screwed up if they screwed up, just like my computer repair guy. I'm very certain that if you pm an admin the very admin responsible for the error will write to you personally. You were just unlucky. Somebody wrote a bad script or was tired and wasn't thinking clearly. I think it says a lot about how someone attempted to restore your posts. Also, if the images attached to them can't be recovered, is it too much work on your part to delete the empty restored posts and just make new posts with the images? Maybe in between posts, you can count to ten so it doesn't look like spam or something? I think that would help make your community look nicer and more appealing to subscribers who like comic book art.
Good, I'm glad you wrote them and I hope you help them out with moderating the community. I might be able to see a more updated version of the modlog because I'm a moderator? Also, when I use Firefox to navigate to lemmy world on my phone I often have to reload the page because the browser loads what I had previously viewed. So, I think there could be something weird going on with web browser caches. Anyway, federation sometimes creates hiccups, also. What you can see from one instance might not be visible from another. *edit, just an afterthought. If you start helping out with moderating the linuxmemes community, my advice would be to remove any and all blocks from your settings. If you don't, you might not be able to see (and remove) rule-breaking content if someone on your block list posts something to the community.
Hey there! The moderator of that community is actually modding. Last activity as a mod, according to the mod log was 17 hours ago. From what I can see, the mod removed the racist post you've linked to and banned the account that posted it. It looks like the offending user didn't like being banned and logged into an alternative account and reposted the same meme just 34 minutes ago. It also looks like the moderator, just a month ago, asked for help modding the community and didn't get too many responses. I'm sure they would love getting some help with modding from you. But, to say they are not doing their job is inaccurate. Unfortunately, there are some users who just insist on re-posting content that was removed and they get irritated when they're banned, so they do it again from another account. Dealing with these people is like a game of whack-a-mole.
Thanks for writing out how your experience is. It's how I imagined it. I would need to have more battery life to make it worth it to me to buy it. For example, a long trip without any way to plug it in. I definitely wouldn't expect it to run AAA titles.
