lol

You just can't help being pedantic. They're both correct.

The moderator got tired of this platform because it enables people who feel they were slighted to critique their every move. Mod logs don't have to be public. I think it's fine to disagree with that as a moderator. Mod abuse has been caught for decades without it, none of your argument hinged on the public mod logs other than the mastadon post where he shared annoyance that you were bothering him with them. Moderators are free to moderate with the tools and platform they want. He resigned, so fucking what.

He was snarky back at you. Big whoop.

This is an insular 1st world problem you are experiencing. Stemming from a bruised ego. This guy is not manipulative or toxic. You're overreacting.

Looking through your comments you do plenty of "dishing it out". But this is how you react when someone sarcastically replies to you then nukes the thread? You must have paper skin.

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

Not the 3 months you've been going for.

No. The facts are not facts because they're opinions. You present your "facts" through the lens of a neutral party, and you are clearly anything but neutral.

You make a claim hoping to get the hivemind on your side. You dump screenshots showing your embarrassing behavior and count on the fact that 60+ people won't even stop to verify or form their own opinion.

The sad part is that you're right. You can say anything and if it aligns with their preconceived narrative, they'll upvote and keep scrolling.

Which is exactly why you bury the lead, because if you said outright from the beginning that it was against you, well then people would be alerted to your inherent bias and actually form their own opinions.

My argument is that you first appear to be a nuetral reporter when, in reality, you are a biased participant.

Also... This is night 1 of me thinking about this.

There won't be a night 2.

This is night 80 for you.

Don't project.

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.

yes. this thread lol

Each time burying the lead that the mod abuse was against you.

I didn't even know who you were until I realized the username in the screenshot matched.

Have you ever heard that there's 3 sides to every story? I've seen yours. I think it's a whole lotta nothing.

Your inability to let it go after months.. It all tells me everything I need to know about why this means so much to you, and why you're still doing this.

Educator...okay.

This keeps you up at night.

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.

There isn't even some grand "toxic" or "manipulative" coverup. The mod deleted the whole interaction because it was pointless and rude from both of you. It added nothing.

The jannie took out the trash and you're still harrassing them about the subjectivity of annoyance and respect. Y'know who makes that subjective choice? The mods.

I have no ties to this, but I am in opposition to this neat little narrative you appear to be creating tossing out buzzwords like toxic, gross, manipulative without evidence to back it up.

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..."
