Same way with private votes, oh and they also want to force servers to manually review all user sign-ups (devs have literally said that to me) even for servers which can handle automatic creation and have spam protection bots in place.
A lot of things they do are surprisingly against the open nature of Lemmy and the fediverse as a whole.
Votes fundamentally cant be private due to the way Activpub works otherwise anyone with an instance can spoof an arbitrary amount pf votes (u can do this with extra accounts but its a whole proccess).
I think its cos the devs have very strong political opinions and are only now realising they are losing control of the narrative due to said open nature. The open nature of federation (and the free speach it enables) is our best strength that has the capability to reshape the digital narrative towards a free (as in freedom) and inclusive future.
Federarion is everythibg web3.0 promised to be but with blackjack and hookers.
I don’t think that it should list which individual removed the content, but it should at least say if the removal was done by “[instance] admins” or “[comm] mods”.
I dunno, I’m from the really old days of forums where you either had an alt account to moderate with, or where the penalties for harassing a mod over a moderation action was a kos
I kinda feel like it should be the norm for it to be public, but there’s a line to be drawn somewhere to disallow endless arguments about it
I’ve moderated a number of communities on a number of platforms over the years and I’ve never seen it be a problem. I don’t think it’s worth losing accountability.
Public moderation logs was a fantastic idea.
They keep delivering
Yeah i just wish it showed which mod did what action tho
It used to, I believe the option to anonymize the acting moderator was added in at some point
Yeah its a setting in admin panel. Defaults to anonymouse unfortunatly tho
They did it that way on purpose hoping more people would use it accidentally rather than it being a desired thing to use.
Yeah i dont like it goes against the open philosophy of lemmy imo

Seems reasonable to avoid mod harassment
I don’t think that it should list which individual removed the content, but it should at least say if the removal was done by “[instance] admins” or “[comm] mods”.
Then there needs to be modmail. There had to be a way to reach “a representative”
Maybe if people keep yelling at Dessalines about mod tools he’ll do more work for free.

What’s a kos? Kick off server?
Kill on sight; like an IP ban, but if you made an alt account to get around it, that account would get banned too
