Who's Rimu?
The developer of piefed. Tankies hate him for obvious reasons.
It's not like Rimu is helping his situation by making a complete ass of himself as of late.
I figured it was the Piefed or similar creator given the context. Just wasn't sure. Part of the reason I switched from lemmy world to Piefed social
I switched specifically because tankies are pissy about piefed.
I literally wouldn't have had any interest if not for the one two punch of the above, plus the cunty moderation antics of Dessalines et. al. on .ml.
You'd think a bunch of self proclaimed communists would support someone cloning software for free. Hexbear is such a joke.
I switched for the post combining feature.
I love the way sometimes it's "fuck him and everything he stands for!" and other times "damn straight, I stand with him for the things he stands for!"
Sometimes the Tankies claim they stand with X because X opposes Y, but then if anybody mentions all the times X stood with Y and all the times X said things they clearly don't stand for, then they have no response but "you've been brainwashed by the media".
That's probably true, but it's worth noting that not all of the Rimu controversy is coming from tankies. I'm arguably pretty "moderate" for the fediverse and I and many others like me also find their conduct and software worthy of concern.
The way I see it, our options are this:
Lemmy, a neutral software developed and ran by people with some questionable politics that they keep separate from but hosted on Lemmy.
Or Piefed, a software with ideology built directly into it developed by people with probably much more palatable politics (for me at least) but who believes said politics should be systemic in the fediverse.
Tbh, I don't 100% love either of these options, but I have no interest in trading overbearing corporate nannys for a homegrown farm-to-table nanny. I'm an adult, I don't need or want somebody else dictating sensibilities for me.
So Lemmy it is.
He's the piefed dev.
Piefed is a 1 to 1 replacement for lemmy, compatible with other fediverse things.
I joined a piefed instance specifically to move away from the lemmy devs.
Now it turns out the piefed dev is a petulant fief lord.
As is tradition.
I should do that as well honesty
gross, a piefed link.
it's funny. back when the mass exodus happened from lemmy to piefed I called out how cultish the community sounded and how the users seemed to be kind of toxic. they protected piefed like it was "special".
of course I was downvoted, expectantly.
doesn't seem I was too far off the mark tbh...
Fuck if I know lol, I don't really keep up with all of the fediverse drama
Rimu is GOAT.
