I don’t even know what to think about this one. I’m not angry, more confused than anything. There’s only one mod there so i asked them, and they said “It’s against policy. It’s the abbreviations policy.”

I see no such policy anywhere, so who knows what’s going on. Is it only the NYT that can’t be abbreviated? What about the US? Is LOL forbidden too? And if so, why are we forbidden from laughing there!

They didn’t even remove the comment.
The mod is user qrstuv. Maybe the only abbreviation allowed is when they say one? That’s a power trip!

    I blocked the entire instance because of this. Why would i want to read posts i can’t even take part in, you know.

    Thank you for letting us know that person isn’t the entire instance. I’ll unblock it.

      I mean, it should be general knowledge at this point that instance admins and comm mods are not the same thing.

          Yeah but… if you’re aware of the difference, why block an entire instance over one mod’s actions?

              They’re not trying to be clever. They’re saying your prior actions weren’t logical. You shouldn’t block instances for what mods do. You should block communities. If everyone blocked instances so swiftly then the fediverse will become little islands.

      Glad to hear it. We’ve got some fantastic retrotech and FOSS rabbit holes for you to get stuck in, if that’s your kind of thing.
