There's an interesting Behind the Bastards podcast about the rise of incel culture and it's push into mainstream. It's called "From Elliot Rodger to Clavicular." They talk about the language of incels and how their vocabulary tends to end up in the mainstream at a surprising rate compared to other fringe cultures. "Mogging" is one of those terms that comes from incels.
The know your meme page on it is extensive. My distillation is:
Mogging is behaving as though you expect everyone is going to think you're great because of how you look; in particular that you think you look better than someone right next to you.
Mogging is vocabulary from the incel-community whcih has unfortunately become mainstream. As with so much other incel garbage (like x-maxxing and x-pilling).
I don't know what "site mogging" is, but apparently "emsh.cat mogged simonwillison.net" with the following description:
> emsh.cat wins due to its superior use of negative space and a more intentional, minimalist typographic hierarchy that creates a sophisticated reading experience. While simonwilliam.net provides high information density, emsh.cat achieves a more polished and modern aesthetic through its refined layout and balanced composition.
So "mogged" is about minimalism somehow? Fancy/modern term for "beauty" or similar?
Mogging is gen z alphabro/incel speak for "dominating" another that gets used ironically. If I'm taller than you, I might say "get heightmogged". This is used to absurdity, where one is able to get mogged in any number of varieties, including having the nicer website "sitemogged?"
Maybe im not in the target audience, but i had to look up what mogging is because its not explained anywhere

I only heard of it due to a memecoin, and people trying to promote the memecoin using the ‘point at you, laughing cat’ emoji combo.

Didn't know Jacob Rees-Mogg was so popular with the kids... (please not)

I love how Hacker News seems to loose out to basically everything, even example.com ("such intentional use of whitespace!")
This is a fun tool. I compared https://www.tyleo.com to Hacker News and won (Hacker News got 2.7, not hard to beat).
What I really wanted though was just a way to get my own site’s score without having a competitor.
