I called them out for not following their own community rules:
and they deleted their account.
Thanks! Not quite as wild as I was expecting (kind of surprised this was enough to push them to delete their account)
Probably decided “fuck this” and quit volunteering instead of dealing with drama llamas.
Mod abuse is mod abuse, regardless of the level. They clearly felt embarrassed for needlessly being mean and getting caught for it after trying to hide the fact.
Then they tried to excuse it on their mastodon.
If they're willing to go through all that for something so minor, they would absolutely be willing to do the same to hide worse behavior.
Not gonna lie he was right about the shuts thing. It's not a common phrasing but totally legit and you did seem kinda dickish when you pointed it out.
Pointing something out is not inherently being a dick. It did not warrant the response, particularly a response that clearly breaks the rules of the community they were trusted with the responsibility to manage.
It was snarky. Some people interpret it as rudeness. He's still a shithead for sure.
No snark was intended, but I can see why people could interpret it poorly. I won't claim to be perfect at communicating over Lemmy comments.
Yep, they had proof.
