    I’m not sure why you see it as a single incident. It was a series of choices—actions—that outline his overall behavior. I don’t see how a person who shows no empathy towards others, particularly from a position of ‘power’ over them, then refuses to acknowledge their poor behavior should get any empathy themselves.

    It has always been a very easy option, if he wanted, to ameliorate the situation himself. Instead he chose to stick to his choices multiple times.

    You’re not wrong that it could be considered taking the high road to never bring it up. However, too often do people abuse that expectation to avoid consequences and just continue their behaviors. Without acknowledging their own actions there is no evidence that this is just not their own standard of behavior.

    Very succinct and includes 99% of the situation. Thanks, and well done.

    Only things I would add would be: Being a moderator on lemmy and not knowing that modlogs are public is baffling. That alone really outlines the fact he was unqualified for the role.

    And that it seems pretty obvious the comments were only deleted by him to hide his own. He had already shown an inability to be measured and collected, as well as a poor understanding of the platform from a moderation perspective. Then, his clear disregard for the only rule for the community by lashing out at something that could have been more easily dismissed entirely. He should have just deleted the comment without a response. My mildly stupid comment just did not deserve that kind of reaction.

    It all serves as solid evidence that he was willing to abuse his mod role for something so minor, and a person like that wouldn’t stop there.

    The real cherry on top is how pathetic it is to go to mastodon to complain about the public mod logs on lemmy.
