I’ve been noticing this more and more in the modlogs, with it proven via the “creator” option in some instances’ modlogs that the people doing the bans were mods and not admins, and when I first joined Lemmy, one of the things that were held as a universal truth was that this absolutely could not happen.
Nothing changed, it was always possible, there might not have been the tooling, but it was always possible through the api.
Can it be done without any third party help?
