I guess on the bright side at least it shows the text of the comments that got removed right there, and links directly to the thread. So people can easily verify for themselves whether they would agree with the ban or not. It’s more of an annoyance than anything, they can put whatever reason they want for banning you, but they can’t edit your comments or control the words you actually wrote down. So if you stand by what you wrote and others agree with your perspective, it just makes the mod look bad and they can also get removed for abusing mod powers.
In some ways, I think context also matters. For example, you can debate a topic theologically in a different manner to politically. So for example, “dancing is a sin in flaxifarianism, and we should hold to flaxifarian values within our temples” in a flaxifarianism community is different to saying “dancing should be politically outlawed” in a general community, or worse, one dedicated to dancing.
It’s happened to me, I have gotten banned from communities just because I was banned from other communities, one of them even says “check the modlog”

Yeah totally, but that’s why it links to the threads with the full context if you click on the modlog
