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.

Someone could argue that action should be taken against an instance admin like Rimu creating public lists of undesirables and calling for bans against them for no reason other than posting things he didn't agree with, but then the Piefed people would go up in flames saying ooh .ml is so authoritarian etc. etc.

no you don't understand he's against authoritarians that's why they hate him....

"I am against authoritarians and will silence all those who say otherwise!"

This discrepancy is quite funny until you get banned.

you WILL accept my ways of peace or die fighting it!!! lol

Has no one explained the Streisand effect to him?

I say the whole world must learn of our peaceful ways... By force!

Someone in the linked thread is arguing this is an example of how rimus actually moving on...

I gotta start posting harder
