Rimu not simply happy with deleting comments is removing entire users now to suppress people countering his lies.

Free speech is banned on PieFed.Social, only praise of dear leader is allowed.

It removes the account from the instance as if it never existed.

Users on PieFed.social cannot ever again see my posts or visit my profile.

It’s the list all over again, either you’re cool enough to be deleted or you’re not.

I've never been so non-conflicted before about being cool. Cool.

The irony, in all of this, is that feddit was born because the Lemmy authors were too left wing for done people.

I never followed that discussion too closely, but I doubt things ever went that far with them.

seriously, do these two have a bet running on who can be more of a whiny, petulant child or something? I seem to remember some backlash against Rimu before for acting shitty (though I don't remember what for off the top of my head) that was quickly overshadowed and forgotten about because of the Tesseract debacle. It's like they're mad that their thunder got stolen.

It’s the 1984 memory hole. Rimu fancies himself as a benevolent dictator.

Rimu admires the unquestionable father figure rule.

I have a conspiracy theory that the modlog is made to suck on purpose. Why else do they mix good mod actions (featuring and unfeaturing posts) with bad ones (banned from community) or don't have a filter by comm or a better user search or how mods can purge a user and it doesn't make it into the log at all or how some instances have seemingly made theirs worse by removing the few options we have on that page.

iirc there's third party mod tools for Lemmy/PieFed that supposedly improve it a lot. I don't use them or can link them but I remember seeing a few.

Rimus logic is this is just people trying to do targeted harassment. Cause it's harassment to keep shining light on terrible decisions and actions.

Yeah see this is exactly the sort of bad faith bullshit I’ve been dealing with for months.

A secret blacklist that was being foisted on every user.

It's also interesting to see one of the other admins/mods being the one to post rimus blog post, but then rimu just being in the thread using it as his response in same thread

They basically used a fronted end ui used by many instances to push their own views of what people should see

I read his little -open source runs on good faith- essay. I find it pretty ironic when he says "A healthy project allows someone to occasionally be wrong, awkward, inexperienced, tired or ill without immediately turning that event into a judgement about their character. When someone makes a decision and other people jump to conclusions about transphobia, ableism, etc then it becomes a determinant of someone’s moral value. And that’s toxic."

Pretty hypocritical, considering he banned me almost as soon as I joined piefed back in the early days. It wasn’t based on anything I said or posted. It was based on what other people who disliked me claimed about me.

I’d love for him to point to any quote or post of mine on any instance that was actually ban-worthy.

His PTB trip seems more obvious every day. Between OP’s ban and several others we've been seeing lately, I think we’re going to see more of the same hypocrisy.

The Lemmy devs never encoded their personal beefs or political opinions into their software. They've always kept that to their own instance. There's bigger assholes administering other instances. But its only Rimu and Admiral Patrick tried to impose their opnions on other instances with hard coded block lists secret shadowban lists, and hidden social credit scores.

At least the Lemmy devs keep their beliefs to .ml, can't say the same for PieFed. They want their entire software to be talior made for all users to one person.
