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.

      Since this is the fediverse, and we are up against some crazy shit, as far as this picture goes, I say “Hail Hydra.”

        Yeah, but do we want to be read as harassers?
        I follow the disengagement rule as soon as I am requested to. Doesn’t “ML” instances do raids/agit spams?

          iirc hexbear has had a ‘disengage’ rule since before even dbzer0

          Doesn’t “ML” instances do raids/agit spams?

          not as far as i’m aware; i moderate on !slop@hexbear.net, which is for all reactionary content and even has a rule against going after federated instance mods/admins. lemmy content is a small fraction of the content posted there and when it is posted, half the time there’s going to be someone complaining in the comment section about how they don’t care about other instances at all classic

          obviously cross-posting something will get people who want to comment engaged, but people cross-post things on the fediverse all the time, it’s kind of the point of a platform like this

          also the meme image i posted was just a joke, people are always throwing around accusations about other posters being alts and yeah they’re all alts, my alts! ahaha

            1. Thank you for answering.
            2. I am aware you were joking. But be aware how it reads to folks traumatized by harassment. Within the context of this thread, I immediately comprehended it was ragebait. But others not as literate and nuanced, may read this as “I‘ll make as many alts as I want until Rimu relents to our demands!”

          If Rimu was banning people over personally targeting him that would be a valid concern. He isn’t. Making new accounts to spread counter-programming to his userbase is not harassing him. It’s only harassment if one makes accounts specifically to contact him.
