Screenshot shows three comments being removed from [email protected] (this community) by one of 196’s mods with the reason for removal being “.” (literally just a period).

I looked into this and discovered that the comments were just some fairly polite, if snarky, comments in response to the mod themselves. I could not identify a reason for comment removal per the site or community rules, so if there was one, “.” doesn’t cut it.

This is a callout post y’all. Do better. Start putting actual moderation reasons into the modlog for the benefit of you and other mods, otherwise what is the point of a transparent and federated platform?

As of now, it looks like the mod involved is just using their mod powers in a self-serving fashion. I am not making that accusation now, but that’s how it looks.

Please and thank you. Mods here do an excellent job keeping 196 on Lemmy a bearable place to be, and I know you are already struggling to staff the positions, but please also hold one another accountable when it comes to misuse of power. Thanks :)

[email protected]^local has one and I think we should too

2 recent posts I made were deleted with the reason "please refrain from cannibalposting" (link to the modlog). I don't get how this is a rule violation and I don't remember r/196 ever removing posts like that.

In general I thought the concensus has always been that 196 is only moderated to remove bigotry and the like, I fail to see how this would be in spirit of the subreddit :/ (unless I'm missing something)
