        Plenty of mods on here are tools. I just think anyone who willingly donates their free time to be an internet cop probably has issues. You have to find satisfaction in doing something so meaningless and for free, which tells you all you need to know.

        They might not want to document anything, based on what can be documented about them in the modlogs.

        Here’s a charming example:

            From reading the public mod log it looks like the reason was that this user can’t seem to make a post without insulting someone, their modlog history is a litany of removed (often misogynist/homophobic) insults and bans for DM abuse.

            @woelkchen@lemmy.world , is there any other reason for that ban?

            Called @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com a bastard on a power trip, constant behavior of insults and hostility.

            The specific insult at db0 was made today, a few hours before I saw it and acted upon it, then looked at the post history and removed further trolling.

            Not all comments are ban-worthy when looked at individually but there is clearly a wider agenda at play. Just look at his bio: “Fediverse is worse than Reddit. Mod abuse, admin abuse, disinformation, and people simping for literal terrorists.” A person with the openly stated dogma that “Fediverse is worse than Reddit” is not active on the Fediverse to have actually meaningful discussions, he’s here to be hostile. He’s constantly flamebaiting, only to then play the victim card.

            As for the specific comment linked in that quote: I’ve DMed to one of the mods there. I said that I accepted that my comment was wrong, said sorry, I should have just ignored it, and that it won’t happen again. I’ve since personally blocked him as well. I’m not getting lured by him any longer.

          Ah, to be honest I forgot about that.

          Feel free to create !yepowertrippinbastards_meta elsewhere and then we can go full circle
