    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.

      You think before engaging. And if you fuck it up, you apologise to the community (not to that specific user) for what you’ve done wrong. But unless the content is sensitive (for example, the other user posted something illegal), you keep it alone, at most you lock it.

        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.

          It doesn’t need to be something fancy. Just an “EDIT: I apologise to the community for sounding abrasive. I’m a mod here so my behaviour should be better than that, my bad.” I think that it’s important because users take moderators of their respective communities as role models on how they’re allowed/disallowed to behave, so if the mod doesn’t at least mention that they fucked it up, other users might see it and think “OK, that’s valid behaviour here, even the mod does it. Time to go rogue.”

          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.

          Yup, full agree with that. And based on interactions with the user in this thread, they’re being clearly disingenuous, mincing words to play the victim. The mod was in the wrong but that’s, as you said, too much.

            100% Yeah you’re right. I was imagining a public apology An edit is appropriate. Still, this dude puts socker players to shame with how he cries foul.

      Baseless accusation. Got any proof?

            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.
