Rimu published yet another hit piece against the /0 instance and this time posted it in his own instance comms as well. One of his mods jumped in, admitted they don't know anything about anything, but nevertheless felt confident enough to state their opinion as fact and in the process insult all of us collectively, then stickied his opinion for good measure.

So I decided to reply sarcastically, at which point that mod insulted me and locked the thread, which is apparently a feature in piefed which simply hides/deletes further replies in that thread, but since it's not a feature in lemmy, it appears to function like a shadow delete.

This is what my last reply would have been.

(Yes I'm being snarky, but that "I'm so mature" bullshit just rubs me the wrong way.)

In my opinion, using mod powers to get the last insult in, is just bastard behaviour.

That "shadow lock" thing sounds like a terrible feature. I'm so annoyed too because I posted a real tear of a rant at that one dude suggesting everyone read Proudhon. Buddy, I have got opinions on that kind of thing.

Real talk here though, wtf is going on? Every day there's some new assault on our instance and every time the thread is dogpiled with crypto-fascists and Zionists.

I've been on the net a very long time. I know what a Nazi infiltration looks like. It looks like the temperature on the board suddenly spiking, with huge arguments constantly breaking out that, somehow, magically, always start to turn towards topics that were "just asking questions" in ways to start etching and eroding the community standards. It starts by claiming everyone doing good moderation is a Zionist or a nazi, so they get kicked out and replaced by actual fascists.

I'm not worried about dbzer0 falling. I'm afraid that piefed already has. It did appear rather quickly, offering a slew of features to get folks off Lemmy. Would it be so strange if a state actor was promoting (and developing) it in order to gradually EEE their way into control here?

    I’m afraid that piefed already has.

    I've been raising this for a while now, especially because the creator also routinely shows up on the comm where people regularly rant about wanting to be free from 'degenerate roaches' measurehead

    (former lemmings.world admin plugging piefed as a place where you can be free of 'degenerates')

    I forgot about the time two months ago when Rimu hung out at the Nazi bar, and PJ convinced him that to dispute calling the 1932–33 famine a genocide is “genocide denial.”

     
    For pj & goat, “genocide denial” is their favorite card to play, like it’s some magic spell.

    I’ve never encountered rikudou@lemmings.world and have no idea what Rimu’s alt accounts are or were.

    You nerds are pretty much at conflict with lemmy.world/piefed because of the kaplan vs anarchistnexus, this is just a continuation of it
