I had to moderate my first 2 comments today for violating our rules. We're moving on up!
Ho man, here's the backend stats for the touhou nsfw subreddit. That's over 100 spam posts a month removed to keep it clean:
How can there be more deleted than published?
170 posts come in. 100 are deleted (because bots), 70 remain.
What kind of bots? "Try this pill to increase your penis size for these 7 Lonely Ladies Nearby™️"?
1.Discord link spam:
2.That particular spam wave was bots that would post thousands of images that all link to one newly created domain:
NSFW
Images were sourced from the posts from a year ago. and they would try to grind karma in the freekarma4u subreddit, but always stopped way too early.
3.The latest memorable spam wave would crosspost copied images into a newly created subreddit:
ecchi
Where they would then peddle their website:

Oh sorry. I do get that far, but when I click one I only see this:
Basically I was curious what the conversation context was.
That's a recent change to Lemmy which only lets admins/mods see the removed content. If there was a setting to make this transparent, I'd make it so it was transparent. Hopefully this is a bug and not intentional, but I kind of doubt that.
Ahh, well "working as designed" then. Thanks.

Thanks. That link doesn't seem to work, but don't worry about it. EDIT: However, it does offer up a huge Burggit logo. Nice!
try now, I update it and tried in a private tab and it worked.
It worked! I had to use a private window as well, because I guess Firefox cached the redirect page.
Figured it out. It was my fault: I'd blocked the community. Nothing against Touhou NSFW, I was mainly using "block" as a way to filter the Local posts. So I guess Lemmy was trying to protect me from seeing a post in a community I'd blocked... and apparently it chose to do that by throwing up an error page:
Ah, that would explain it. Glad you figured it out.
