Question about modlog entities in the Lemmy API (self.lemmy_support)

Hi, I'm working on modlog display for the Voyager client and I have a quick question regarding mod log item views, specifically, the ModBanView (https://join-lemmy.org/api/interfaces/ModBanView.html).

If instance bans require admin rights, why is the person issuing the ban called "moderator" here?

Same goes for some other items like ModAddView and ModAddCommunityView. Meanwhile, ModHideCommunity view uses "admin" instead.

Unfortunately, there is no explanation in the API docs to help explain this apparent inconsistency. Can anyone help shed some light on this?

Looks like this is just wrongly named, maybe it was copy pasted from the community ban. Probably not worth the trouble to fix it, as it would be a breaking change for clients.

Yeah, I wasn't asking for a fix, just for an explanation.
