I recently asked an admittedly controversial question about the veracity of a Mastodon account. Some people understandably took offense, while others were willing to exchange thoughts. It was a conversation of about 13 comments.

I now find the post is gone. I can't find any message in my inbox about any removal. Now I understand that we cannot expect mods to provide elaborate justifications for all their decisions, and I understand that they (and admins?) are the final arbiters (although in this case I think it was a bit drastic, also considering that I there was a diversity of perspectives). But shouldn't participants in a post be notified or something? With an automatic notification? When a post is deleted?
