It’s a vast improvement over the black box of Reddit. But a big stretch to claim its transparent in a material sense. Most people don’t have the time or background to figure out the what and why of a mod action. And once something is removed, it’s dead to time.
Although I would say that the inability to contact moderators and have a formal process of requests is significantly worse. I agree about the material sense of transparency.
I’m more annoyed at how a mod ban removes your ability to “block community” on the current front end. So I’m forced to go into settings and add them to my block list manually.
I don’t particularly like a default policy that lets a community fill up your feed with content you’re not allowed to participate in.
