The "obvious reasons" come from the drama I tried to summarize in this comment: https://lemmy.ml/post/47022286/25575766 If we go down to the core of the issue, there's a fundamental disagreement between some instances on a niche use case: can the modlog be used for permanent slander, without giving people the option to reply? Dbzer0, quokk.au and anarchist.nexus instance admins didn't see the value in allowing admins to act on other instances modlogs. Rimu and other people in the Piefed staff were interested in this, hence the new feature regarding the modlog. There was some additional tension between Quokk.au admins and Rimu on the way he handled the AI moderation disclosure, leading to a quokk.au admin leaving the channel. Now remember that all of this only affects Piefed.social. I've been a Piefed.zip user for 11 months now, and that's the instance I recommend to everyone. Even from a federation perspective, Piefed.zip doesn't defederate from for instance hexbear or lemmygrad (but the Piefed instance blocking is an actual blocking compared to Lemmy's incomplete one). Switching between Piefed instances is as easy as it can be. Some people will see these decisions for Piefed.social and the new Piefed feature as "drama", but they seem to be a way to deal with what triggered the drama in the first place (slander in modlogs)
