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.

In think that there's enough space here for differing opinions and discussion. Echo chambers are not good. Fyi: I'm against his idea, but I welcomed the discussion.

They didn't welcome the discussion, they insulted those who disagreed with them.

There was a lot of shitty comments by people who just bashed, but not all.
