    "summary": "A public r/Ubiquiti page is marked “Removed by moderator.” In the surviving Russia-related discussion, Suddenly_Engineer answers “Where are the mods?” in the first-person plural: “Trying to clean this up as best we can. It just doesn’t end.”",

The public interface withholds the action log, so the record supports participation in the cleanup without identifying who pressed remove.",
