Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
@rimu@piefed.social
What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
Mass instance bans
Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
Done
Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
He has abused the modlog to claim 'harassment', which I have never engaged in. I have not even interacted with Rimu in any way for days prior to getting kicked from the PieFed developer Matrix channels.
He has decided to mass ban 20 users because they have spoken out against his erratic and hostile behaviour as of late.
Well, he already admitted that guardrails should have been put up on lemmy to prevent memes from taking root. So why not put up guardrails for users he doesn't like?
Oh wait.
He did.
He made an anti-cm0002 filter.
He made an anti-yanks filter that just targeted anyone from the country of anti-yanks VPN
It's a Belgium filter, it alerts Rimu if anyone from Belgium joins.
A belgium filter is even better
Now hold on, maybe he has a point..
That's hilarious, lmao
If there's two things I hate, it's admin over reach on social platforms, and Belgians
same, but make it three things for me. I also hate stepping in water on the bathroom floor while I'm wearing socks. that's the worst.
one sec, adding that to lemmy right now
Critical support
I'm sorry but genuienly, the last time I saw this kind of behavior was like, two decades ago, Garrys Mod RP communities SteamID banning people from other RP communties in their game mode scripts.
This is just literally petulant child behavior.
extremely rare absolute W for Rimu
No. It isn't. Because adding in a filter for a single user is extremely fucking problematic and should be left up to admins to ban or users to block.
I'm sure admins aren't going to be thrilled about Rimu using his power to ban users on their server without their consent.
That's a surprise. Figured he'd add features for them to help his crusade against ml.
Or they just posted too many memes?
Anti-cm0002 filter means that you can't filter cm0002 when on piefed. Going by the logic.
Lol what's his problem with cm0002? That user was shilling hard for piefed when it came out. Was it just his account spamming?
As much as I hate memes, trying to prevent them is dumb.
