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.
Yyyyyyep
Haha….hahahaha….hahahahahahahahaha
Have you seen the developers of Lemmy? You want to talk about radioactive and furthering narcissistic psychopaths.
It’s just part and parcel of what’s created. Doesn’t mean we subscribe to what they believe in, just the software.
There’s most likely parts of Linux that are merged from tankies, communists, terfs, bigots and all other manners of people you don’t agree with. Are you gonna stop using that. No, it’s functional, open source software
Show me a crashout this bad from the lemmy devs over being called mean names and other instances moderation practices.
Imagine the reaction if the "tankie" devs put in a default blocklist of the libbest instances, or default domain blocklist of 3000 entries you'd have to unblock one-by-one or had any piece of lemmy vibecoded or made a "harrasment" blacklist (in the original sense of the word) and shared it publicly... Like you can directly compare the nutomic reaction to being called a transphobe to rimus reaction to him thinking he has been called one...
Or imagine a tankie version of mog that had yesteryears drama threads still pinned, or an instance admin who's dedicated mission was reposting stuff from the bad instances using their many many alts in order to starve them out of interaction
Yes I have, they've said + done some problematic things. If that was a constant, ongoing and current pattern of behaviour, I'd be agreeing that running Lemmy instances would be a questionable pursuit.
Running an instance on Piefed isn't like being a user. It's the equivalent of running whole servers using a problematic Linux distro. And yes, I will and have stopped running Linux distros on servers, both personally and at work, due to problematic ownership over the distros.
If someone started running all their servers on a distro with shitty verbiage in it, whose developer kept hardcoding all their personal vendettas into it while using their authority over the project to ban users and side with people adjacent to fascists, I would (quite rightfully) question them about it. I would also doubt their beliefs.
"Whatabout the other guy" don't care didn't ask
Nope just pointing out that it’s a pointless schoolyard squabble. You can take the drama off of Reddit but it’s still gonna be here it seems. Started with tankies, moved here. I just laugh at it all. I’ll keep enjoying my content and popcorn.
show it to me. link it.
You replied with your own quote.
🍿🍿🍿
ye and you got nothing but some zingers to back your arguments up
No you weren't
I have had many conversations with people all across the fediverse, and I do not believe that I have been banned by anyone for my existence in a thread aside from rimu doing that just now.
And you can feel free to see what my comments in that thread were. Do any of them come across as inflammatory?
Lemmy devs have also said some pretty damn problematic things, and despite my commenting on them in the past, I have yet to have a bad interaction with those very same folks.
It would seem rimu is taking things to a level far beyond what the fediverse has seen so far.
So, I'll be seeing if there is anything I can do for pievolution instead.
Edit: sorry, I did have another interaction, where rimu made claims about llm use that were clearly made up and I commented as much. Rimu then replied with "why was it on me to report about it then", to which I said "because its literally nothing so no one cares".
So I'm assuming that plus my very existence in the other thread was the trigger.
