Note that GOL tried moderating a comm on lemmy for a while and flamed out it because they considered an open modlog a terrible idea. Personally I don't trust people who hate transparency like that

    Mods seem like weird people. Weird.

    They always need to trip on a little bit of power. Same with some of the Lemmy maintainers and instance managers, it seems.

    Just do it for the love of the game, man.

    They should just setup a PieFed community somewhere.

    They left Lemmy after finding out that the modlog is public. I doubt they would find PieFed any better, as it is just as transparent.

    Will moderation be public?

    I guess not.
