Unfortunately, I don’t think there is any way for me to hide my admin status, at least in the current Lemmy version.

You could use an alt to comment, and another account to admin/mod. Your current account shows with the M mod, and I’m not on your instance.

I personally mod using alts, to limit the reach of potential drama should I have controversial takes, or heated discussions with other users.

As you probably noticed, one of the element that made the drama blow up was you making derogatory comments using your admin account. Would this has been on a normal account, the impact would probably have been much lower.

Lemm.ee and Lemmy.zip usually get praised on their invisible admins. You see them post the updates about the servers from time to time, but that’s it.
