I mean like:

If someone were to say “Lets Kill [Name of Politician]” and it gets removed, its still in modlogs. So like, I think the law still count modlogs as being on your website. So its not gonna remove legal consequences. And also, its not really gonna stop other people sympathetic to your cause from reading it from the modlogs and potentially get inspired/radicalized to do the act.

So what’s the point? Modlogs, while providing transparency, seems counterproductive.

    You can reply to a comment removed, but you can’t read it unless you bother going to the log to check. If you don’t read something you don’t reply to it, do you? What do you say to a bunch of " comment removed by moderator "? Sure you can vote it too but again, you need to first figure out what it said, unless you’re just voting at random.

    Does the app matter?

      I thought it might be because you said:

      Removing a comment also makes it impossible for people to join and carry on the conversation.

      But it’s very possible. It really just requires one extra step (looking up the comment in the modlog) and you can interact with it as usual.
