    I agree with you, but what does a moderator do once they engage with the user other than remove the whole interaction? They deleted the whole thread, not just their opposition.

    Seems like the the whining on mastadon about transparency was more because this guy is following them around harrassing them via public modlog screenshots, when on any other forum it wouldn't even matter... unless it actually mattered.

    In this situation, my view is OP made a mess, pissed jannie added to the mess, OP feigned shock, pissed jannie thought better and cleaned the mess up.

    Yet OP here is still trying to stir the pot like the mod was silencing their opinion or something. It was a worthless comment.

    edit: oh my god he's been copypasting this for months LMAO I'm done. God.

    Lemmy is too small and this snafoo is so pointless that I think a community apology would be hilarious.

    I think the punishment should fit the crime. Having some weirdo follow your posts around calling you manipulative and toxic for months is just... its too much. It's a linux gaming forum, some social ineptitude is to be expected. Users shouldn't feel entitled to continuously attack a mod who "mod abused" them with the assault equivalent of a light shove.

    It's just the most insulated privileged non-problem, my god.

    Baseless accusation. Got any proof?

    Then based on that logic you're harassing me. You can't even follow your own logic.

    Sure, based on that logic, I'm harrassing you...for a day.

    Not the 3 months you've been going for.

    Me: occasionally brings up information for people to be aware of whenever I happen to see the website linked.

    You: constantly tries to berate me with terrible logic and even admits to harassment.

    Yep. Totally the same.

    Yes I am mercilessly abusing you. My harrassment knows no bounds. You are subject to my will and must continue to engage with me. The badman who disagrees with you on the internet.

    My shift ends in 10 minutes. After that I promise not to think of you ever again. You will be safe from me.

    Yes, their comment was extremely annoying, both in tone (whining) and content (TL;DR: "pls spoonfeed me basic reading comprehension"). If the guy simply removed the comment, or issued an official warning, it would be 100% warranted.

    It's your right to have an opinion on whether or not you think I was annoying. However, the rest of that is just wrong and needlessly rude. My comment was only to point out how many different ways the title could be interpreted without being explicit in what happened. There is no need to be so rude with your wild assumption. I just found the title to be mildly frustrating due to being vague because of the missing word, and I thought I would express that. Does that warrant moderation action? No. It breaks no rules and there was no intent to be disrespectful, nor is there any real tangible proof of any disrespectful intent.

    I absolutely agree with you but it didn't really need to be said did it?

    You 100% understood what the title was saying, so complaining that the title was ambiguous, and barely so, was pointless wasn't it?

    Clearly everyone else agreed since you were downvoted.

    I don't agree with you, but you can think all you want about how annoying or pointless my comment was. That is no excuse for their response, then they doubled down and tried to hide it by abusing their moderator powers. That's the only part of this that matters.

    No it wasn't, but perhaps you could admit that your behavior did have a little bit to do with the response. It wasn't totally out of the blue was it, and you were equally in violation of the sub's rules.

    I made no claims about my comment being perfect. I meant no disrespect or anything, even though I didn't articulate myself perfectly to display that. Making a comment about an article's title does not break any rules.

    But none of that is the point here. Moderators are held at the very least the same standard as anyone else. As a moderator, they handled such a mild situation very poorly and lashed out, which is already evidence of being unfit to be a moderator. After being downvoted a handful of times they deleted their comment. Then later deleted my comments to even further hide it. My comments broke no rules. Someone else asked what happened and I responded with an answer of the situation, and they deleted that comment as well. They were absolutely abusing their admin to hide their embarrassment.

    Your argument is "they only committed a little bit of mod abuse. You need to let it go!"

    They sarcastically replied to you and then removed the whole thread. Not just your reply

    Toughen up.

    Conveniently leaving out quite a bit of important information there to twist the narrative.

    Why are you so adamant on trying to attack me throughout this thread? Do you really not have anything better to do? Get a life.

    I didn't think I needed to restate the facts this far in the thread.

    Does it bother you that someone sees through your story?

    Afraid of others forming an opinion against yours?

    3 minutes...
