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!

      I haven’t seen you respond to a single thing in good faith.

      And I can think you’re insufferable while also hoping you say something that isn’t insulting, and work to better understanding you, and work to convey my own point.

      I like political discourse. I also like being an asshole to assholes. We agree on more than you think we do.

      I promise, it’s ok to ease your tone and acknowledge your own missteps. Nobody on the internet will think less of you.

              I complained when moderation seemed to target me, not you. It’s not a double standard to expect fair moderation.

              And I don’t mind either of us being assholes. As I said: sometimes having views and opinions vehemently challenged is fine, and sometimes it’s enlightening how little pushback some assholes can take.

                  I did take it up with the mod. You have used a quote from the very conversation I had with the moderator, here, during this very exchange. I explicitly complained, without reporting your comments, about unequal moderation. The mod told me to report the comments I found insulting, so I eventually did.

                  As I said: you were the first one to bring the moderation team into it at all. I was happy to keep calling you stupid when you said stupid shit.

                  I have people disagree with me all the time. I don’t mind, usually, as long as they are somewhat decent in their communication and allow for debate. Again: I didn’t involve the mod team, you did.
