i mean, plans for terrorist attacks should rather be documentend and reported to the police, and people being informed about those is not really bad, but CP? Yeah, idk, that should be possible to be properly deleted from the site, yeah.

If a user deletes their own account, Lemmy will federate an edit and deletion event to remove the content from other servers' databases. ~~If banning a user had a similar option for purging then that would address this I think.

However if the modlog holds a discrete copy of the removed content then that's an issue if the removed content is illegal~~

Edit: Just noticed another thread confirming Lemmy does have this option šŸ‘Œ

Yea, Iā€™m just tossing shit out the most extreme shit I can think of. If Lemmy is gonna grow, this shit needs to be considered.

it has been. besides the normal "remove" function, there is also a "purge" function which does not record the content in the modlog.

Haha yeah, also this shows up as a "remove content" checkmark while banning an user. In the modlog, for example, there's only one comment by the banned user here, and that's because it was manually deleted. The rest of their content here then received a goodbye from us, along with the user themselves.
