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.
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-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.
Which is funny because people have said Lemmy’s devs would do the same thing in regards to putting stuff into Lemmy. It’s also stupid because anyone who cares can make a new account with a different username on another server, or on their same server to bypass that.
I wish I could be added to a piefed hard coded ban list :3
There’s a good chance they’re going to see this post and prepare a second list, all the best!
Honestly that’s why I’m replying to this. I feel like it’ll be a badge of honor to get added to Rimu’s hardcoded ban list.
I will personally find it funny if that happened, so that I get to pump up my codeberg numbers with pylova and pievolution code to just remove the list
(Does codeberg even have that sort of activity stuff? I mostly live on my personally hosted repos at this point, I just think it would be funny)
Not gonna lie, I’m pretty sure at least 2 of those names have been featured on PTB before.
This place if rife with powermods.
