Huh, that seems a bit odd. Why would that be? Seems like mod tools will be increasingly needed as Lemmy grows.
It's more that it's low on their priority list
The current tools probably work good enough for them if they just need to instance-ban people ๐

I think Lemmy could benefit from some more... nuanced mod tools.
Like blaze said it's priorities. Small team by necessity, so you have to pick your projects.
Stability and reliability trump everything else. As long as lemmy has been around at this point, it's still really early in development, or that's what I've heard developers say. I don't have the skills to say anything in that regard. So they put their time and effort into what they consider most important.
And I can see where more mod tools is lower on the list compared to things like database management and such. Basic functionality is there, and the user base is not so big that they can't get the job done. It would sure be nice though
