But in the last dev AMA they made it clear that wasn't a priority. Honestly it killed a large chunk of excitement I had about Lemmy. Without ways for mods to keep the communities free of shit heads the communities won't be sustainable and will stop growing.
The mod tools are pretty basic but the essential stuff is already there IMO. The only thing that I've been missing is a modmail or the ability to remove comment chains. And Lemmy is still small enough that I can do it all by hand.
