It sucks, but they are kind of above the rules of their own community. They could easily edit the communities description and make an exception for themselves. Moderators aren't above instance rules though, but admins are.
If moderators and admins broke their own rules often enough I'd expect people to leave those communities and instances.

Bingo. Exactly my point. Users need a mechanism to be informed.
There’s a problem with the mod logs: the censored post is scrubbed. If a post is merely off topic & not CSAM, the worst that should happen is removal from the timeline, not scrub it to the point that users looking at the modlog cannot see what was removed.
Moreover, users should be able to add notes to the modlog. Put it in a separate “modmodlog”.
Well, Slashdot has meta moderation. Not sure if something like that is a good idea or a bad idea, just throwing it out there.
Put their name out there. If they’re a solo mod and it’s their community. Not much you can do.
