TBF having others edit posts is pretty key to SO. It's how, for instance, the site handles those still learning English - editors try to parse what the person meant and reframe the question or answer accordingly.

I've made drastic edits in the past... but the goal was always to capture the intent of the writer. From your anger it sounds like someone, a mod, went way beyond that?

Right. Editing a message should be for stuff like typos, markup, bugs in example code, etc.

Soon we'll have LLMs rewriting answers en masse for..... reasons?
