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

    Their response seemed perfectly measured to someone being needlessly pedantic.

    Edit: And also Shuts down? Did you miss the ‘down’? Was the title edited after the fact? What does the rest of that modlog say? The screenshot is cropped.

    My perspective is you were being annoying, got downvoted/called out, feigned shock, got your comments removed, and now you’re on a bitter smear campaign.

    This is the weakest accusation of mod abuse I’ve seen. Good grief.

      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.
