Are you using an app? Is the screenshot from a moderator-only view of the modlog? Because yeah, as regular users, not moderators, using the website, we can see the actions in the modlog, but we can’t see what mod performed them. In fact I remember that being an issue of contention on hexbear, some people wanting to be able to see which mod did what, but the response was that it would create too much drama if users got to see which mod removed their comments or banned them.
Which? How? And in this case, Saymaz was using Summit, which I checked and Summit does not show mod names for mod actions (unless the user is an admin or a moderator of that specific comm the action happened on).
So if someone has an account from a Kbin instance that is federated with a Lemmy instance, they can see stuff that normal Lemmy users can’t? Do you know if it requires them being an admin of a Kbin instance or just normal user?
Huh, weird. My general takeaway from this and other stuff I’ve looked up in the process is, “never assume something that appears private on lemmy is actually private.”

I am using summit.
You can see them on some platforms.

Kbin. They’re pretty open with federation too.

Sometimes I can see the mod, sometimes it just shows as “someone.” I don’t know why.

If it’s on the internet, it isn’t private. Even airgapped.
