If you want to see the face of a instance, look in the modlog.

But most of the moderation is done by community moderators, not admin. So it isn't necessarily the face of the instance but the face of each individual community.

However, if the moderator doesn't assign their username to the moderation action, then you can't really tell who's done it. It just says "mod", but it could be a community moderator, or it could be an admin. I can understand a mod not wanting to publish their username with the action, but it should still at least tell you what capacity they were acting under. Generally, I think instance admin are more sensible (with the exception of hexbear).

Also, when you load the instance modlog you'll end up seeing moderation from every other instance, and it doesn't even tell you which community it refers to most of the time.
