> whether he's just lying, or both things are true and he just deleted his account after it was suspended

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.

I am on the moderation team at Treehouse. Marcan has not violated any of our community guidelines and he categorically was not suspended from our Fediverse instance. He chose to delete his own account.

I can reproduce the bug:

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.)

Thanks, yeah, this is definitely a bug or something.
