This was in Lemmy world politics.

      If you’re that interested just go through his comment history. He’s not shy about doing the same in his comments. Usually it is just a thinly veiled threat.

      Edit: Found a good example

        What you’re saying sounds to me a bit like one can break community rules if mods won’t notice right away. If community rules were broken, I don’t think it matters much if it happened right now or earlier. Besides, I would also expect that someone breaking the rules will not argue in good faith.

        So, to me this example doesn’t prove what you imply.

          Nah, you assume the unreported ‘transgressions’ were valid to begin with despite the fact he outright admits he went digging for something. It’s obviously looking for an excuse to get back at someone. Regardless, even the appearance of childish behaviour by mods taints their community and it is disappointing how desperate people are to excuse someone with such a glaringly apparent pattern of abuse.

        That’s not really handing out a ban, though. That was my question on “taking action” about it. Talking in comments is different.

        I’m curious to see if this is in response to him “losing” the argument, or if it’s in response to someone being personally hostile to him, and him pointing out that if they’re doing that to other people they may get moderated for it. Most of what I’ve been seeing that is summarized as the first thing is actually the second thing.
