Is it appropriate for someone to be a mod here when they don't understand open source, and insult users in the community? (programming.dev)

I'd understand if they were a random user, but a mod should already have at least some understanding about a community's topic.

But worse to me are their comments in that post calling the people responding "childish trolls in this community". I do not think that this is appropriate for a moderator.

Very concerning misinformation in this thread. Open source does in fact mean more than "can look at the source code." The open source definition closely parallels the free software definition, in fact.

I don't like the terms open source, FOSS, or FLOSS precisely because of this misconception.
