It's a quite clear case of "what you accuse others of is what you yourself resort to". He was calling out others for unreasonableness, flaming and sabotage — and did exactly that himself.
He closed the account himself:
> I actually wasn't sure if I wanted to delete my Mastodon entirely or not, but as I intended to fill in my password for confirmation and decide whether to click the button, my password manager auto-submitted the form for me. Call it fate, I guess. I mostly don't regret it. Maybe I'll be back some day, maybe not.

It is gone now and gives a generic "nothing here"; I have no idea whether the "suspended by moderator" display was some kind of bug, transient state, or whether he's just lying, or both things are true and he just deleted his account after it was suspended.
(Well, his Reddit post doesn't claim his Mastodon account didn't get suspended, so it'd "only" be the omission kind of lie…)
FWIW, I don't understand the logic of deleting the Mastodon account but continuing to post on Reddit… those are both "social media" in my mind…
I would've liked to link a post or two of his to show just how little flexibility and tolerance there was from his end regarding his social interactions, even when being questioned about them in an outside context and in a reasonably neutral manner. Ohwell…
This is obviously just a Mastodon bug (backend treats suspension and deletion as the same thing, for example). I'm not sure why one would entertain the idea of marcan making up a lie about being suspended from an instance he's an admin of.
1. go to https://social.treehouse.systems/explore
2. type @marcan in the search box
3. select "go to profile" from suggestions
Feels like a problem with the dynamic/partial JS content loading.
(Apologies for the confusion, there's no indication that made me suspect a bug... and I hadn't at that point seen anything about him deleting his own account yet.)
