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

However, what the non-mod user is 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.

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

Baseless accusation. Got any proof?

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

[-] MonkeyDatabase@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

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.
