I don’t think gaslighting is the right word, it’s speculation.
In my experience on reddit, most of the time people heavily complain about how awful mods are it ends up being that person was actually just an asshole.
I agree that mods can be an issue and many are power hungry weirdos. I’ve been on reddit over a decade and have dealt with them plenty. My solution to dealing with subs run by bad moderators is unsubscribing/filtering them, as the content is typically of poor quality anyway and usually a giant echo chamber. If that solution doesn’t work and you are constantly running into problem mods, it’s more likely that you are the problem.
The comment in question above does seem like the typical comment you see on reddit, where when you look at their post history, you realize they totally deserved it. If that’s actually the case for this person, I can’t say, I agree there isn’t enough info. But I can’t same I’m surprised people are quick to assume that’s the case, cause it definitely reminds me of those kinds of comments where that is the case.
