It will need to be restored only so that the user can delete it themselves. I have asked them as their instance admin, so I anticipate they will comply. We will need to give them a reasonable amount of time to respond though.
I think this is the only viable way to get this done easily, given the way federation works, so I think we should give it a shot.
Just a quick update. This is more complicated than it might seem at first glance. I spoke to a couple of other admins including Mr Kaplan from LW and apparently the only mechanism in Lemmy to federate out a removal of a modlog entry is for them to restore the comment, and then have the OP on anarchist.nexus delete the comment themselves.
I have reached out to the person who posted that comment and asked them if they are willing to delete it. If not, then I think the only alternative would be to reach out to every single federated instance admin to purge the comment manually. And I don’t like your chances of reaching them all. This particular scenario has not been catered for yet in the software, unfortunately.
So, I am just waiting to hear back from the user. If they agree to delete the comment, then I will contact Kr Kaplan again to have the comment restored, and it should then be deleted shortly after that by the OP.
Hi again,
Ok, so good news.
The user has agreed to delete the comment in the morning (it would be 3am for them now as they messaged me about an hour ago) so that should also give Mr Kaplan time to restore it.
So if you check in about 8-10 hours, hopefully it will be deleted.
