The difference is the Modlog, which means everyone can see the receipts. (For the record, while it might not have been the most tasteful comment, I think that removing it and labeling you an SA apologist is bullshit.)

    “But the plans were on display…”

    “On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”

    “That’s the display department.”

    “With a flashlight.”

    “Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”

    “So had the stairs.”

    “But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”

    “Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”

    I mean, I take your point, but compared to Reddit, where there is no record unless a third-party website happens to archive it before the mods remove it, the Modlog is very transparent.

    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.
