    What was wrong with them removing your comment? You were being annoying 🤷‍♂️

    Their response seemed perfectly measured to someone being needlessly pedantic.

      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.

      However, what they’re saying ITT about moderator abuse is still spot on. The mod in question answered to the whining in tone, tried to cover their own arse with content removal, and then went to whine in Mastodon about the events, or the fact that there’s transparency functionality in Lemmy (the mod log) against the exact same behaviour that they showed there.

      So it’s a case where both sides were wrong but given their relative positions the mod being wrong is a bigger deal.

        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.

        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.

      Pointlessly snarky comments are one of the worst parts of Reddit and Lemmy and I fully support mods putting a stop to that. I guess the important part is to be transparent about it

        But if it was transparent you wouldnt be able to see it /snarkyasshole

      “Annoying” is subjective, and there is no rule against being perceived as being “annoying” in the community rules.

      The only rule is to be respectful, which they did not follow at all, then tried to hide it.

        Nothing they did appears to have negatively altered the quality of the comments or discussion.

        Respect is also subjective. Your initial post seemed to be mocking and disrespectful for no apparent reason. I’d argue the comment section is more respectful with your remarks gone.

        Objectively, it appears they were right to delete their account. You’re stalking posts mentioning their site and complaining about this nothing burger.

        I would also distance myself from pedantic harrassers and focus on literally anything else productive if I were them.

      The “down” was definitely edited after the fact.

        You’re definitely right. But without any sort of context, just the screengrab with the title corrected, it makes OPs rant seem even more pointless.

        It could have been one word if they were genuinely confused: “…Shuts?”

        Or if they were smart enough to realize it was an error:

        “There’s a word missing…”

      Whether you consider it whining, depends upon the tone you read it in.

      I just read that comment and didn’t feel annoyed enough to even give a downvote and the mod’s reply seemed far too annoying.

      The username on the other hand…

    Thanks! Not quite as wild as I was expecting (kind of surprised this was enough to push them to delete their account)

      Mod abuse is mod abuse, regardless of the level. They clearly felt embarrassed for needlessly being mean and getting caught for it after trying to hide the fact.

      Probably decided “fuck this” and quit volunteering instead of dealing with drama llamas.

    Not gonna lie he was right about the shuts thing. It’s not a common phrasing but totally legit and you did seem kinda dickish when you pointed it out.

    source

    • gofsckyourself@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Pointing something out is not inherently being a dick. It did not warrant the response, particularly a response that clearly breaks the rules of the community they were trusted with the responsibility to manage.

        It was snarky. Some people interpret it as rudeness. He’s still a shithead for sure.
