That's nice that he did it but the fact that he gives the option to turn it off without forking isn't good, the reason why Lemmy's modlog is so great is because it isn't optional, and while you could modify your own Lemmy instance to hide and disable it, you'd need to break mod action federation to completely remove it. By not being optional it is more resilient. Piefed though makes it easy for corrupt or non-accountable admins to turn it off and hide who did what and when. Just like it is on Reddit.
I will bring this to the Piefed channel.
