Is it possible to see if moderators have removed comments from a thread?
Can you see if a moderator has removed comments from a thread? Can you see the content of the removed comments? Are moderators able to specify motive for the specific removal?

Open the website and look at the modlog. No mobile apps support it right now
Cool! However, while it does show the full log of removals, it appears that I can't see the original content of the post -- I can only see that a post with a title was removed. Also, can you see mod removals within a comment thread? Or is it only in the modlog that you can see removals?
Go to filter by action and choose "removing comments" if there is nothing shown when that option is chosen then no one has removed any comments in that community.
That's only within the modlog, though. I'm talking about withint the comment thread for a post. As I stated:
Yeah, only the modlog.
Yes, but it involves sorting through the community modlog.
No. Not even mods/admins can.
Yes, but to be honest, I have no idea where that reason goes or who it is visible to
I wonder if this feature could be implemented -- it would just be another sorting option in comment sections -- assuming that the server actually stores this data.
From what I can see in the modlog, it appears that you can see the content of comments, but just not the content of posts. It seems to treat comments as post titles in the log. What's also weird is that they have links associated with them which appear to point at nothing. Perhaps they are supposed to point to the original comment/post?
It looks like you can see it underneath the removed item in a little bit of text that states "Reason", and then the reasoning.
