@sotolf @adamsdesk @grueproof well that's interesting.
I noticed a #fosstodon moderator with a history of poor behavior - open bigotry, censorship, even trolling - and contacted instance creators Kev and Mike about it. I also got ignored - no meeting halfway either.

At the time, I wondered if someone who behaved that badly in public should be trusted by Kev and Mike with the power to censor content and people in private.

@mike @sotolf @adamsdesk @grueproof we can get into the specifics, if you would like. For example, Carrotcypher exhibits a pattern of condemning and attacking news sources to the left of Fox News, and always in a way that favors things like the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil and many others.
In addition to the example you already saw, here is another, where he calls CNN propaganda.
To someone looking in, does this appear to be someone capable of moderating fairly?

@lo__ You're asking for the removal of one of our moderation staff based on that moderators interactions with you and others on Reddit. Your descriptions of that behavior seems more than a little hyperbolic, and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much "meeting half way" in your demands of us.
Every action taken by our moderation staff is auditable, and they can all be reversed with the exception of post deletions. He's done that 23 times during his time

@lo__ as a member of our moderation staff, 22 of those removals being for non-Fosstodon accounts. The last time he removed a post for ANY reason was in February of 2024. That account had also had moderation actions taken against it by 4 other members of our staff.
Moderation actions that aren't of a cut and dry nature are subject for discussion by the team. No one is running rampant across the instance censoring content or people.
