I think they should focus more on getting rid of bots, and get a little less ban happy on the people that are calling out bots or bullshit.
I'd love to see what mod removed content or banned someone.
Moderation logs are already public.
Standard disclaimer that you're gonna find objectionable content in there, browse at your own peril.
On your instance it can be found here: https://lemmy.today/modlog
It doesn't show which mod though, just that a mod did something. Unless I'm missing something.
It does look like your instance's mod log anonymizes all actions, at least the first couple pages I skimmed seemed to be that way.
I'm not sure if that's a Lemmy thing in general or if it's something lemmy.today has configured. On my instance, which runs Mbin, the moderation log looks like it has the option to anonymize the mod name (which I think is new since last I checked), but that isn't being used universally.
It's unfortunate because it really has the feel that there is a mod that has no business being a mod and has been going on a power trip. I have no way of figuring out who.
