Thank you for the write-up. I was wondering why these comments were removed too before looking at the account and realizing the whole thing was gone.

Is there any way to view comments removed by moderators without wading into the modlogs, or do servers simply respect those decisions?

Some instances in other platforms don't synchronize user comments in the same way. ~~Their comments are still removed within the threads, but you can still go to the user page and check them out which makes more sense IMO.~~ Actually, forget that last part, it's likely an artifact of federation due to how other platforms handle whatever is going on in the back end.
