This isn’t bitching so much as a curiosity. Here in Lemmy.ml, would it be considered abusive for an admin to actively participate in a discussion, then get upset and delete the same comments they themselves have been replying to?

I’d just like to clarify the administration posture of this instance. There are lots of accusations of unfairness here. I don’t know if that’s an individualistic thing or a matter of policy.

Mainly asking so I can more easily identify what discussions are not safe to participate in.

Cheers!

Tl;Dr: No, avoid conversations with mods/admins

Yeah my post there got removed and in my inbox it was cited as 'Spam,' even though I was commenting on how that post had (as I said previously) most of the comments removed by moderator(s).

Tbh .ml is feeling less and less hospitable every time I interact with the instance, which sucks cause when reddit fell, .ml was my go-to. I don't even want to use my .ml account anymore on principle.

Here's a pic just in case that one gets deleted.

New Edit: they removed my comment calling them out and I didn't even get a message saying why (as if I don't already know). I've also updated the link to go to the main thread, since my comments there get deleted by whatever fascist mod is doing it.

Yeah it’s unfortunate

And now I've been shadowbanned. I can't vote on topics there anymore. I know which user it is too, since there's only 2 mods and one hasn't done anything in 3yrs. Hint: it's OP of the post. Is there a way to report unfavorably run communities to the .ml server owners?

I mean, it’s davel. I can see it in the mod logs.

Now they've removed my comment that was calling them out, and I didn't even get a message on why (like I don't anyway know the answer is 'mod abuse').
