    Just to make something clear, mods do not have the ability to edit comments of other users. Even admins would probably have to do a bit of technical hacking to do so.

      That wasn’t always the case in the early Lemmy days. There’s a reason these folks stick to communities they created and control. They used to make ragebait posts, edit comments of other users to say unhinged genocidal shit, screenshot their edits and delete the thread. And then post that as evidence ‘documenting genocide apologia’.

      Now they just manipulate the modlog to not show the removed comments and make up reasons.
