This is one of the problems with the public mod log that Lemmy has. Transparency is one of the worst things to have when dealing with bad faith actors since it’s nothing but a public record of their “accomplishments.” It won’t stop shitty mods from being shitty.
One of the problems with the public mod log on a federated site is a moderator can just write something egregious for the ban reason and then the user is stuck with that. It propagates across instances too. I have a huge list of banned users who I never actually banned, and I assumed were banned by other instance moderators.
Having a lot of features to try to thwart bad moderation on a federated platform isn’t really that important anyway since it’s easy for anyone to simply create their own instance and users can migrate there.
I mean, the issue with my comment removal wasnt the transparency, it was that I had a harmless and perfectly contributing comment removed for no reason, the “Transparency” of “Rule 1” didnt apply to my comment in any way, nor was I causing a commotion on the thread.
edit: Lmao ok, the modlog is back to showing what my comment was, apparently I DID call out Tankies, albet passively, in my removed comment. So a bit snowflakey, but NOT as bad as I originally thought. Oh well, any instance that thinks the word Tanky is bigotry isnt really worth my time either
