According to the modlog, they posted

“all the [r-slur] takes in this post is the reason many have come to hate lemmy. you guys do get that he’s a comedian doing an act at a conference, right?”

Yeah, that's great. What's the point of the moderator removing a comment if somebody like you is going to come along and repost it?

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Interesting. I can still see the comment.

What’s the point of having a modlog that allows anyone to publicly see the comment that was removed?

The purpose was to show that they weren’t making some off-colored joke, as some suggested, but rather making a hateful statement in general. It was removed for violating rule 5. I censored out the slur, so if the mods want to remove my comment, they will. Feel free to ask them to do so.
