  • What you see in the modlog depends on your role.

    • If you are a regular user, or are not logged in, the modlog shows all actions as performed by “mod” regardless of who did it.
    • If you are a community moderator, you see who performed each action within your community. But you don’t get that level of visibility in other communities or at the instance level (I think).
    • If you are an admin, you see everything: which user performed each removal or ban, in any community, on any federated instance.

    The effect of bans and content removals depends on the actor’s role.

    • As @willya@lemmyf.uk mentioned, community mods can only perform community bans.
    • Actions performed by an admin from a remote instance are local to that remote instance. A site ban means you can no longer interact with communities on that instance. If your posts/comments are “removed” they will be hidden from users on that instance but still be visible to users on other instances.
    • Actions performed by an admin on you home instance are global. If you are site banned, or your content is removed, those actions federate to other instances. You are effectively banned everywhere and your removed content is hidden from everyone. (Of course this assumes everything federates properly.)
