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.
That is correct, however in this case it was a mod writing a long ass comment before assessing the situation, telling people to read an old book without clarifying how it relates to the situation and calling the people “wannabe-anarchists”. Then when the offended party gets upset about throws in a snarky one-liner before locking the thread. Which is distinct from telling some shitlib to put some effort into their research
