Rimu published yet another hit piece against the /0 instance and this time posted it in his own instance comms as well. One of his mods jumped in, admitted they don’t know anything about anything, but nevertheless felt confident enough to state their opinion as fact and in the process insult all of us collectively, then stickied his opinion for good measure.

So I decided to reply sarcastically, at which point that mod insulted me and locked the thread, which is apparently a feature in piefed which simply hides/deletes further replies in that thread, but since it’s not a feature in lemmy, it appears to function like a shadow delete.

This is what my last reply would have been.

(Yes I’m being snarky, but that “I’m so mature” bullshit just rubs me the wrong way.)

In my opinion, using mod powers to get the last insult in, is just bastard behaviour.

        Yes I actually did, and you conflated two completely separate claims into one. What the user you were replying to said was:

        That “shadow lock” thing sounds like a terrible feature. […]

        And later…

        Real talk here though, wtf is going on? Every day there’s some new assault on our instance and every time the thread is dogpiled with crypto-fascists and Zionists.

        And you came back with:

        Yeah, definitely sounds spooky when you call it a “shadow lock” weilded by a conspiratorial cabal of zionazi-crypto-fascists.

        Which is completely misrepresenting what the user was actually saying.
