Documentation

A community's record that a post has been removed from it. Written in the same com.atproto.repo.applyWrites commit that deletes the social.coves.community.acceptance, so the firehose never carries a half-completed moderation action. Removal is URI-scoped and terminal: it applies to the post URI across later author edits, not only to the version it pins. A post rejected at submission time was never accepted and writes no record. Removed is exited only by an explicit moderator restore: an atomic commit deleting the removal record and writing a fresh acceptance. The record key is deterministic: the unpadded lowercase base32 encoding of the SHA-256 digest of the canonical subject AT-URI (fixed 52 characters, always rkey-safe), so each post has exactly one removal rkey per community and re-removal updates the same record.

Record Key any Any valid record key

Properties

code string Required

Machine-readable reason for the removal. knownValues is an open set: federated peers may send codes this AppView has not seen yet and their records must still validate, so this MUST NOT become an enum.

maxLength: 64 bytes
Known values: rule-violation, spam, off-topic, illegal-content, author-banned, moderator-discretion
createdAt string datetime Required

Timestamp when the post was removed

reason string Optional

Human-readable explanation of the removal, shown to the author and in the moderation log

maxLength: 10000 bytesmaxGraphemes: 1000 graphemes
subject ref com.atproto.repo.strongRef Required

Strong reference to the removed post. The pinned CID is audit metadata recording the version present at removal time; the removal itself applies to the post URI.
