It’s not about being “butt hurt” it’s about consequences for abusive behaviors. I don’t think people who abuse their moderation powers and status should be rewarded with free advertisement on the place they committed their abuse.

I think that this community needs to change its displayed rules, since it seems that it does not apply to the moderators:

Please be nice to other members. Anyone not being nice will be banned. Keep it fun, respectful and just be awesome to each other.

Calling me a grammar Nazi is not necessary.

I was merely voicing my frustration with the title that lacked information and I felt I had to go into the article to find.

I wasn’t berating anyone in particular, like you are trying to do to me right now.

They could have just not responded with an asshole comment. They could have not done anything and ignored me.

What did they do instead? Lash out at me like I was making a personal attack.

That’s not very “adult” behavior.

I made one comment because the title was lacking a key piece of information which was frustrating, and provided an explanation on why it was frustrating.

They responded with a childish and asshole response, which breaks the rules by the way. I’m not sure how that makes them “the adult in the room”.

They deleted my comments that broke no rules and the reason for it was “annoying”. Not to mention they broke the rules themselves by being an asshole. That’s far from “unfounded”. At best, you can disagree.

Deleted comment:

The owner of this gamingonlinux site used to be a mod on this Lemmy community until they got caught abusing mod powers because they didn’t realize mod actions were public. They deleted their account and complained about the public moderation aspect on Lemmy on their mastodon account.

Can we just not link to that site here?

It’s just a username and a mild joke. Jesus fucking christ. What the fuck is wrong with you people?

How am I being obtuse? I did not refute your suggested possibility.

There is really no need for the sarcasm or negative attitude towards me. Especially after learning that you misread my username and considering your own suggestion, why would you then continue to treat me with such negativity? What have I done to you?

Someone literally named “gofuckyourself”

I invite you to take a closer look at my username. /* Hint */

That was not the intention, no. I have no idea how you, and obviously others, would interpret it that way.

I was expressing my frustration that the title was vague and seemed incomplete. I provided different examples of how it could have been interpreted, then asked for clarification on what the title was trying to say.

Sadly, that’s not how people use it.
