Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
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.
You must log in or register to comment.
Those users are probably going to end up in a banned list hardcoded in the program.
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-cm0002 filter.
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.
Rimu is the creator of piefed? Glad I never switched, then! The Lemmy devs are certainly problematic in their own way, but piefed seems particularly heavy-handed in its censorship and banning.
Shame on Rimu. They clearly shouldn’t be in any position of authority.
when you’re modding on piefed but you’re a reddit mod at heart
Rimu’s also banned people who never interact with Piefed.social like myself simply if people like PugJesus make harassment posts about them (which feddit.org and blahaj.zone followed through with too). This is more blatant as it’s even less targeted and includes people I’ve never seen break any rules, like Edie.
From MeanwhileOnGrad, against me:
ableism, misgendering
that’s sad to hear about blahaj… have you talked wiht ada about it?
Nah, I don’t even use blahaj.zone communities so it isn’t too big of a deal. It was a full instance ban. As for Ada, I assume if I got banned, it’s because Blahaj.zone agreed with permabanning me, though they haven’t permabanned others that have done the same as me, just ones PugJesus and Rimu seem to hate in particular.
It kinda sucks because I usually use my blahaj account to interact with the larger fediverse which means I don’t see your informative replies…
Yep, that’s the biggest downside to being banned, if anyone on Lemmy.blahaj.zone goes to Lemmy.ml they won’t see what I post there (or anywhere). I try not to tell people how to run their instances and whatnot, if they decide their red line is defending the communist interpretation of historical tragedies from liberal historiography then me getting banned is a matter of time anyways.
It’s just important for those instance-shopping to know where blahaj stands on these subjects, ie against communists and for liberals.
That sounds like a win for Blahaj.
Honestly all you ever do is copy-paste propaganda text and defend states violently suppressing civilians because you try to claim they were secretly all CIA Nazis or defending Russia invading Ukraine because NATO exists so it’s fair that civilians die. You personally are probably one of the worst things about .ml.
Let’s not start slapfights in this thread please. Keep things in-scope.
Hi. Admin of lemy.lol here who is also on that list.
I have made 5 comments in total and have not commented in the matrix channels. I have also made a single comment about Rimu. This.
Rimu is incapable of handling basic criticism. If an admin is such a threat that a single comment about him constitutes a ‘coordinated harassment campaign’, then Rimu and Piefed.social must be defederated en masse. We at lemy.lol would do so if he didn’t defederate from us over his perception of a frog.
A bit off-topic, but Pepe does raise my hackles, and has for the last dozen years, ever since #gamergate. Ex-Groypers will see it as an invitation to a Nazi bar.
Remind me again why y’all have piefed instances?
Easily modified code base?
Lemmy is open source and doesn’t have ableist function names, but ydy
Quokk.au used to be Lemmy, I tried changing some text on a page once it was near impossible with how obscurificated everything was across multiple files. With PieFed and Python I’m able to easily change large parts and can understand the project so much easier.
Lemmy feels more like an enterprise level app, whereas PieFed feels like something you can run on your home server and hack away at.
ableist function names
Which ones? Not coming to PieFed’s defense [1], just want to bask in yet another PieFed L, and I’m not personally that tapped in when it comes to the actual code in Lemmy and PieFed.
[1] Don’t pay attention to the software my instance is running lol, I just wanted anarchist.nexus in my domain name to make my anarchism completely obvious 😆
I’ll bask in knowing that Mia knew exactly what I meant at least.
Okay now I’m like 90% sure that null account is a rimu alt.
They’re both using that rimus not transphobic line as a defense to try and deflect
Edit:
Based on all interactions in the comments below null either really really loves rimu or is rimu
Lol multiple people can see with their own 2 eyes that Mia said she thinks Rimu is a transphobe?
Must be an alt!
I’m new around here and I must say you guys enjoy your drama.
Yeah, the difference between Lemmy and reddit is banning everyone doesn’t really mean anything.
I don’t think an additional post would be helpful, but it seems I’ve been banned from feddit.online as well.
Which I’m not even sure if I’ve ever been on?
Lines up with rimus call to other instances to rid them of these unmentionables
He’s been pushing very hard that his rules should be applied everywhere, and it’s why I lost all trust in Piefed. I went from being interested in switching to it to immediately disinterested, I’m not sure what he’s coded in there that has personal interest to him. Yeah I disagree with people on the internet, but that’s a server admin’s personal decision, not something he gets to make for other admins.
In his own words.
“Orchestrated a coordinated harassment campaign.” That’s quite a claim; where’s the evidence?
It’s difficult enough to get 20+ people to agree on anything. Like what toppings on a pizza order. Much less a targeted smear campaign.
and lemmy.ml people and dbzer0 people getting together? for a harassment campaign? I challenge you to make them agree.
This confirms everything I said about piefed months ago. I even made a piefed account and brought up concerns, only to be told the “anti-tankie” controls were for everyone’s own good.
Sucks to suck.
I believe I may have said I thought the concerns were outsized. And if I had, clearly I was wrong.
similar spot. seems like mbin has won the race for “least problematic threadiverse software” by simply not setting itself completely on fire
I’ll be candid, I forgot kbin & mbin existed for a moment there.
Which maybe is a positive for their use?
Soooo hes killed piefed with consistently idiotic behaviour. (I’m being kind here)
Hopefully the fork takes off and saves the project.
I was going to make a fork, governed by the users to ensure PTB features weren’t present.
Is there already a decent fork, to save me time?
Pievolution is the AN fork if you want to go that route
A quick google turned up an agricultural consultancy in Malta. Do you have a link?
Is https://anarchist.nexus/ already using Pievolution? I wasn’t sure since the footer still says Piefed. I’d rather use that than go back to Lemmy, it’s just less feature rich unfortunately.
FYI after some chats its going to be @Quokka@quokk.au’s fork, PyLova (python+pavlova), which has a community at !pylova@quokk.au with links. Details to come.
Hopefully any popular fork unwinds its ActivityPub deviations and works with the greater fediverse community going forward.
ActivityPub compatibility has never been a problem with Piefed, and in fact we are collaborating very well in private. Of course Lemmy doesnt yet support all the features that Piefed has, but thats not their fault.
Oh. Multiple times I’ve heard that it has unilaterally broken ActityPub rules, but I never investigated exactly how.
Not that I know of, but I also haven’t tested Piefed nor followed the development closely.
Recently there was a case where federation of Piefed Feeds was incompatible with Multi-communities in the Lemmy dev version. It would have taken me a lot of boilerplate code to make these compatible, for little or no benefit. Rimu agreed to change it on the Piefed side instead, much easier.
A few days ago I read read about some blocking or hiding feature in Piefed that is incompatible with Lemmy. That might be inevitable if Lemmy simply doesn’t support that feature. In the end there will always be some degree of incompatibility on the Fediverse, because every software has very different priorities.
