The whole post seems strange to me, what do you all think?

    Is it possible to see who moderates a particular action if they don’t comment? These sort of posts and recently having my own post moderated for “politeness” (after implying some iamverysmart tool huffs their own farts) has lead me to believe the multiple groups having issues with LW moderation have good reason for it.

    Like for this post, I want to understand people not wanting to split traffic when lemmy isn’t exactly swimming in it but I don’t know.

        Cheers, even though I messaged both the mod of the comm it happened in and the LW admin relay bot (and got ignored by both) I’m not sure I can be arsed. Feels like mod action should be more transparent but also, I can imagine that’d be shit to deal with as a mod too.

          It used to say the name of the account that did the action. Then the code was changed to specifically hide that. Draw whatever conclusions you will from that.

            Hard to say, I want to strongly disagree with it for the obvious lack of transparency but again if I were a mod I’d sorta get it. Cheers for the info.

              Yeah, tbf it’s not that alone but more in combination with both the lack of modmail and how the posts get entirely blocked after removal, unlike on Reddit where they persist for anyone who has the URL. To have all 3 of these at once makes the authoritarianism more similar to what Reddit offers, down at the level of the user experience of how moderation works I mean.
