  I don’t think those accounts are admins of the instances they’re from. They could be alts, I suppose, but why would they use the same alt for both real interactions and test posts? And why would they be test-posting to real communities on other instances (especially without warning the mods first) instead of somewhere like !bot_test@lemmy.world ?

    Hard to say just from what’s in the modlog. Maybe they’re editing a post instead of deleting it?
