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.

Oh? That’s awful! Totally agree that this should either default to invisible or make it easier for you to block.
