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?"

So it's basically "owned", just a generation later...

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

"owning" generally requires doing something to the other person, such as defeating them in an online shooter

Whereas you "mog" simply by being within range of the other person, you don't even have to interact, but a third party can see your natural advantages over that other person, thus "mogging" them.

Oh, that’s actually usefully different from any other English word that comes to mind. (And more playful than eclipsing.)

I'd say more like Putnam-mogging, but yes, 100% mogging.
