I don't even know what to think about this one. I'm not angry, more confused than anything. There's only one mod there so i asked them, and they said "It's against policy. It's the abbreviations policy."
I see no such policy anywhere, so who knows what's going on. Is it only the NYT that can't be abbreviated? What about the US? Is LOL forbidden too? And if so, why are we forbidden from laughing there!
They didn't even remove the comment.
The mod is user qrstuv. Maybe the only abbreviation allowed is when they say one? That's a power trip!

Are they having a psychotic break into bipolar or are they extremely autistic? Focusing on what would appear to be odd details and reacting beyond what everyone else does, does occur, but it’s not typical behavior for people outside certain diagnosable zones. This feels almost arbitrary, otherwise.
Unless it’s a weird Elon thing to try to never say USAID on social media and using a broad rule to do it and hide it at the same time. Even that idea is stretching and should belong in the tinfoil hat club. Maybe not on this timeline, it’s hard to say.
What's weird is that they've allowed other people to comment with acronyms, and they themselves have used acronyms elsewhere on other posts.
If you look into those other peoples modlog you'll see theve been banned too.
But yeah, the mod themselves has no problem using acronyms.
So they're banning people for acronyms but keeping their comments? I don't know if there's a word to describe that strangeness.
And then they lock the post.
None of it makes any sense.Maybe they want an RSS feed on Lemmy but don't know how to set up a bot? It's strange.
Drugs?
Hypocrisy
It doesn't really matter what they are, it's downright petty, and shows a certain level of incompetency to moderate a community properly and fairly. At the end of the day a person like this should not be moderating a community.
Extremely autistic is something i considered. I can't think of any other reason, really. They won't explain any of it, so we have to guess and assume.
Considering the special interest nature of a pubnix instance, I think that those who are there for that have a higher chance of neurodivergence.
