To all of the moderators who have resigned or suspended your activities over the past few months: your presence and impact is missed. [...] If you feel that your issues continue to go unaddressed, I invite you to post about them on Meta in a respectful way. And if you choose to apply for moderator reinstatement, we look forward to hearing about this as well and to seeing you back on your sites.

I'm not a moderator, but it seems to me this is very late, and not really going to do much for the moderators who have quit or are no longer actually performing moderator actions.

The damage done to moderators is real, and I doubt there is much that can be done at this point to bring them back. WouldWould you want to risk being on the receiving end of the reputational damage that was done to Ms Celio. Cellio?

Focusing on the requests that moderators have made over the past couple of months, instead of hand-waveywavy non-apology apologies, would be a welcome departure from the status quo as it exists up to this point.

In short, action not words.
