Feature request: Give mods a menu option to delete posts

Right now to delete a post I need to use the website. I'd love to have better mod tooling in this app.

I think it's on the roadmap for Jerboa, but the first and only app so far to implement mod tools is Summit for Lemmy

Thanks for the heads-up. I hadn't heard of Summit.

Thank you! I've been wondering when mod tools were going to come to an app.

I would love if someone made an issue on GitHub with exactly which modding features you want.

I'm not sure what's currently available, but stuff like this is pretty important:

  • deleting posts
  • locking posts
  • suspending users
  • banning users
  • mod mail
  • mod priority - e.g. higher mods can kick lower mods
  • setting default sort for a given post
  • restricting certain types of posts (e.g. text only posts, link only posts)

That's probably enough to start, though I've never modded a large community so I'm not sure what else would be needed.

Maybe deleting a post should be hard

Why would you want moderating a community to be hard? Completely unmoderated communities almost instantly become Nazi hangouts.
