Censorship and targeted sliencing of users are the source of bad moderation. To top it off, the mod can target and harrass the banned user and we wouldn’t know bc of censorship if allowed.

targeted harassment

1. It is about the anonymity of moderator, not about modlog

2. Quit this job as moderator if you can’t take it

Domain blocks are always publicly visible.

Mod logs are always publicly visible in the public mod log.

What? It is crucial for the users, not a bug.

Privacy for what here?

For anti-surveillance

Git is distributed, but

1. so do many vcs created after git, eg. hg, pijul

2. a platform that hosts the repos and issue trackers is different tool.

Security is the main problem here, you normally don’t visit a random host to download the software from, just like you don’t put money on a random unknown bank/stock. That’s the reason I think it is not being federated yet, bc you want to stick with the trusted instance you pick anyway even if it is federated, but then there is not much difference for the host to host the platform without fediverse.

Fair enough.

CLI is not about ease to begin with, it is about versatility.
