Rimu is the creator of piefed? Glad I never switched, then! The Lemmy devs are certainly problematic in their own way, but piefed seems particularly heavy-handed in its censorship and banning.

Is it time to fork piefed or am I out of the loop?

Hi. Admin of lemy.lol here who is also on that list.

I have made 5 comments in total and have not commented in the matrix channels. I have also made a single comment about Rimu. This.

Rimu is incapable of handling basic criticism. If an admin is such a threat that a single comment about him constitutes a 'coordinated harassment campaign', then Rimu and Piefed.social must be defederated en masse. We at lemy.lol would do so if he didn't defederate from us over his perception of a frog.

I don't think an additional post would be helpful, but it seems I've been banned from feddit.online as well.

Which I'm not even sure if I've ever been on?

Wow, talk about a self-implosion.

I, for one, would love to see an example of the "harassment" I engaged in.

This confirms everything I said about piefed months ago. I even made a piefed account and brought up concerns, only to be told the "anti-tankie" controls were for everyone's own good.

Sucks to suck.

Shame on Rimu. They clearly shouldn't be in any position of authority.

Well his claim of stepping away from public interactions latest as long as expected

Oh my god the lolcowery continues.

This is just embarassing.

... See this is where it becomes highly obvious that if you sent this person like a physical, 'Power Tripping Bastard' award, a 3d printed statuette or medallion or something, they'd just continue to lose their shit in a more extreme way.

Like in a roundabout way... dude literally needs help, and I feel bad for him. Very much needs to touch grass for a couple of months, take a vacation from the internet, get those cortisol levels back to reasonable.

Honnestly, that's better that way for you all and for Rimu. He needs a break and you all too. Yes, there is too much griefs from both side. I'm staying away from it, it gives me a peace of mind. For me, that ban list is a good start for Rimu, he also deleted the post on Unruffled and AI. He is simply distancing himself.

In few day, i hope we can start writting a new page. Otherwise, we won't be able to mediate with both side. Zagorath reached us and wanted to initiate a dialogue between you, Quokk and Rimu.

That's a good idea, that's a good move Zagorath & Quokk. So thank you. :)

However, I told Zagorath that it wasn't the right time. There is still lot anger so we weren't going anywhere. As much i would like, we can't open a discussion yet. We have to wait, like any IRL relationship.

Maybe we will never be able to talk and work together as we used to. Maybe we will find some room but it will be different. Dunno.

But, we can relay some ideas as the one that unruffled shared about modlog but not yet and i have to remove some part. I tried to see your the comment about the updated version of the modlog but there is a login wall.

And there is a better idea :3 you can pour your own ideas in your new Piefed fork and it will inspire lot people. I'm sure you will enjoy the crafting part. That's fun.

For example, an quadratic voting for your next decision ? I'm curious to see what you will cook :)

Thank for reading
Bonne nuit à tous et toutes :)

I have no idea of the circumstances of these bans, but I can say that several (maybe four or five) of these users are people I've encountered where the conversation has been politically charged but respectful until they showed up, and in around a two hour window, I've been heavily downvoted.

That's anecdotal, it's not strong evidence of coordinated raiding or bullying, but there does seem to be a trend, and I guess it might be the same thing Rimu is responding to?

@Rimu@piefed.social has completely destroyed his reputation by this point, and likely has thoroughly destroyed public perception of piefed. He is continuing to prove he is exactly the threat people have said the Lemmy devs will be.

The only thing I've ever said to him was pushing back against his criticism with screenshots of evidence that proved him wrong.

He is not removing people for a coordinated harassment campaign. He is removing people to silence dissent and exert a stranglehold on his platform and his own ego.

PTB is, quite literally, not strong enough. He is an active danger to the entire fediverse as a whole. He is dragging down credibility of any instance that runs Piefed and has proven that not only is he a manchild incapable of regulating his own emotions and ego.

Piefed has become Chernobyl levels of radioactive. You can keep running a Piefed instance but you better expect questions on why you're helping to further this narcissistic psychopaths control and influence.

It's also kind of strange that Iso@lemy.lol is on that list. They're a former admin of lemy.lol who had beef with Rimu but Rimu defederated from lemy.lol a while ago over their logo. The fact that he's banning that user in amongst all the others kind of proves that this is a personal hitlist and not harassment. Otherwise, why are you banning a user that you've defederated from?
