Thats interesting, and kinda goes against the point of a modlog in the firstplace. Does an instance's local copy of the log keep the actions?

Kinda. It is to hold moderators accountable for their actions, but if you're both a moderator and owner of an instance, you are God on you own instance and you can purge whatever the hell you want. In this case, the owners of lemmy.ml are the tankies.

Does an instance’s local copy of the log keep the actions?

A modlog is instance specific and does not get federated, so lemmy.ml's modlog is entirely different from lemmy.world's modlog.

Some mod actions aren't federated to other instances' modlogs. I'm not sure if this is just a federation glitch, or if they're running a modified version of the Lemmy backend that let's them exclude individual mod actions from federation.

I think ml does, there was accusations of them doing that.
I though that each instance would just log whatever mod actions get sent to it.
