relevant magazine is /m/RedditMigration here on kbin.social. You can see it's the one and only report in the modlog yet the user who removed the comment is not listed in the moderators list, is not even a kbin.social user, and did not remove a lemmy.ml comment. Yet, it was removed for me as a kbin.social user.

How is this moderation working exactly? It's understandable that lemmy.ml mods can remove things for lemmy users, and mods on a magazine can remove things on the magazine. But it seems this is an unrelated user, removing a post of a user from an unrelated instance from a unrelated magazine.

How is this possible? what's going on here?

Edit: I checked on lemmy.world's copy and the comment is still visible, meaning the removal did not federate to lemmy.world.

I haven't used my mod actions yet, but my guess is that another user used the report function. A mod deleting the comment due to a report from another user is probably what happened

but that lemmy.ml user isn't a mod of /m/RedditMigration, and the removed comment wasn't by a lemmy.ml user? do random lemmy.ml users have the ability to remove comments like that? the only mods of /m/RedditMigration are you and ernest and neither of you were the ones to remove it?

I meant that because the mods of this magazine saw the report and deleted the comment, the credit in the mod log was given to the reporting user

oh, I see. yeah that makes sense then I guess? I would've thought that it'd be reported based on the mod that removed it? but I guess not. that explains it.

Again this is my supposition. We can test it if you want, I'm a mod at /m/RedditMigration you could try reporting a comment of mine there, I'll delete it and see who it shows
Edit: @Otome-chan i forgot what group we were in. Thought this was RedditMigration for a minute
