Context: I started !norway@sopuli.xyz to be an English-language comm for Norway. There’s an existing Norway comm which focuses on Norwegian-language content and discourages too much English in the comm. I posted a simple “Hey I’m starting this comm” post, because obviously relevant. The mod took down my post without any comment, reply, or reason. Now they lurk in my English version comm, and downvote like half the posts. They’ve never actually upvoted a thing.

Oh, they also reported one of my posts as ‘Not relevant to community’.

Talk about petty. They didn’t even start the comm themselves, they took it over a few months ago because it was abandoned, and have done pretty much nothing to drive activity in it since taking it over. I decided to post here instead of YPTB because I don’t feel like it crosses the line into mod abuse, it’s just annoyingly petty.

    you can use kbin.earth (and presumably mbin?) to see the upvotes, even if you don’t have an account there. e.g.:

    https://kbin.earth/m/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world/t/907175/Mod-of-a-similar-comm-deleted-my-advertising-post-now/favourites

    (edit: you may need to copy-paste the link; the web interface has problems with it. downvotes are not publicly viewable there.)
