Hello world,
Due to an error in a spam filter, Automod accidentally deleted all comments for a period of about 15 minutes. We are working hard to restore them. You might get a notification that your post was removed with the reason: “Accidental removals by automod”, please ignore that notification.
Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for being on the Fediverse.
With regards, The LW admin team
Ah, is that what happened.
I was wondering why so many comments were removed! Thanks for the update
The automod is a finicky golem composed of good luck and hope! It does a tough job.
My personal mod log is thousands of entries due to a automod wipe and restoration.
I think maybe some a manual intervention should be required if too many entities over too long a time or from too many users is indicated for removal
