A cynical observation that, on social media and internet platforms, the official record of events—who was banned, what content was removed, what narratives are preserved—is controlled not by users but by those with power to delete, edit, and conceal. Moderators and administrators can erase evidence of their own abuses, fabricate justifications for bans, and shape community memory to favor their clique. The phrase warns that appeals to “the record” or “what really happened” are futile when those who control the record are the same people who caused the harm.
“History on Social Media and on the Internet is written by Moderators and Administrators.” Example: “When she tried to appeal her ban with screenshots, the mods deleted the evidence threads and said ‘we have no record of any harassment.’ History on social media is written by moderators and administrators.”

admonistration

A government body dat likes to do a lot of finger-wagging and tongue-clucking at the people under its jurisdiction.
I resent having Big Brother try to tell me what's best for me, anyway, but what really broils my pudding is when an admonistration hypocritically "talks out of both sides of its mouth" (i.e., says one thing but does another)... a classic example is where they loudly decry the practice of couples' cohabitating without a wedding band, yet they charge people more in income-taxes if they get married.

Administranger

My computer has been taken over by an administranger, there are multiple user accounts with administrator privileges that I cannot delete.

It seems you no longer have access to any drives on the network, this is a text book sign that you have been breached by an administranger.
