When a bug tracker is inside the exclusive walled-gardens of MS Github or Gitlab.com, and you cannot or will not enter, where do you file your bug report? Here, of course. This is a refuge where you can report bugs that are otherwise unreportable due to technical or ethical constraints.
⚠of course there are no guarantees it will be seen by anyone relevant. Hopefully some kind souls will volunteer to proxy the reports.

Myself and many other moderators share this concern
If users don't know why their content was removed
Part of the difficulty is having the solution work within a federated system, but it's not impossible
I was recently blocked on a community, I have a good idea of why(I'm sure they thought I was being a dick for agreeing with someone saying that a wider war with Russia would probably be a bad thing) but there was no real indication that I had even been blocked until I happened to be looking through my comment history and noticed the blocked symbol next to my name.
An automated message saying I've been blocked, by which community, and with a space for someone to maybe put a reason in, would have been nice.
