    This is one of those thing where “I didn’t think we had to prevent someone from doing this since we never thought someone would do this.”

      Is it even a bug?

      Just because someone assumes that reporting themselves is a bug doesn’t make it a bug. I have been on forums where admins/mods would report themselves when they made mistakes for visibility that they were holding themselves to the same standards as the other users.

        Yes, because modlogs on Mastodon are neither public nor federated (they are visible only for admin and mods). Self-reporting for “standards” don’t make sense there.

          I didn’t say it was the only reason to do so, but that it is one possible reason.

          What is the reason for having a restriction?

          Who benefits from NOT being able to report yourself?
