MODERATORS
FYI - the owner of this site, gamingonlinux, was a mod on the !linux_gaming@lemmy.ml community until they were caught abusing their moderator powers. Then they deleted their account and complained on mastodon that it's stupid design that mod logs are public. [Screenshot]
Instead, here's a link to the official post https://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamworks/announcements/detail/4547038620960934857
This is getting silly. Every time you bring this up, I'm going to bring up the fact that the only other person who was involved in that little spat was you. And now, you're the only one, because the other guy got on with his life, but you can't.
This was such a small event, but it seems to fucking define you to this day.
I'm glad you've found the one place where dictatorial moderation and misuse of mod powers is okay, because you only saw it happen to one person. I'm not sure why you think you have some sort of gotcha point there.
The mastodon screenshot is all that is needed to prove that this guy was unfit from the start.
People like this should not receive benefits from the platform they tried to abuse. A simple copy paste of the evidence and information whenever it pops up in my feed is barely any effort.
Besides the fact I think that linking to the primary source of information is already more important than linking to someone's post about it.
