Please tell me you're joking. I wasn't being mean in any way.

Your first sentence was passive aggressive. You suggested that the person is not worthy to judge, based on your own judgement of the show, and you suggested that they don't have a basis to form a judgement based on their lack of watch history. Here it is, for posterity-

You need to watch more shows if you think Fallout was worth awards.

Also, welcome to Beehaw! We tend to be a bit more hands on when it comes to moderation. A reminder to be nice is just a reminder. It's not a warning. I'm not going to ban you. This is about setting the tone for discussion and helping ensure that posts don't go off the rails or that fights don't start. If that's not your vibe, that's okay too! You don't have to participate here 💜

Tone is tough online. You're probably trying to be helpful, but some people will read a strongly worded direct suggestion as unfounded criticism. Acknowledging the other opinion as valid before offering the suggestion is one way to soften the tone without massively changing the core of your point.

Well, honestly if someone can't contextualize tone on a forum they shouldn't be in a position to threaten mod actions. It's pretty important to be able to read things correctly.

The moderator explained it to you very clearly.

Your sentence, will not having an outright insult in it, did diminish the other person's experiences and perspectives.
