This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
All posts should follow this basic structure:
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
YPTB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
Some acronyms you might see.
Relevant comms
Rimu recently started a new rant thread. I copied the response of the person they had targeted and in less than a minute Rimu had deleted the comment.
This is the comment Rimu did not want people being able to see: https://feddit.uk/post/53824748/26875911
This is the thread I shared it on: https://feddit.uk/post/53824747
I don't see how people can still use piefed with someone like this in charge. A new red flag pops up every month. It's hard to see them among all the other red flags.
Based on some of the comments in this thread it's people who are still ignoring red flags, projecting onto others, and still would rather insult others that aren't those dirty fucking tankies than be willing to acknowledge any flaws with rimu or the piefed code
I mean, they need to be able to see the red flags for them to get them to leave.
This community doesn't exist on piefed.social, so anything posted here isn't visible to anyone there.
If he's manipulating how the fediverse looks so much, maybe a defederation is in order.
That would only happen if lemmy world admins disagreed with rimu
Some people still believe @dessalines@lemmy.ml and @nutomic@lemmy.ml are out to get them I guess. It's ironic because every talking point about developer overreach and unilateral decisions applies to piefed more than it does Lemmy. I know it has more features and it feels like Lemmy 1.0 is taking forever, I'm still holding out hope for it and making do with what we have here.
Well we have PyLova as an option now, and it's coming along nicely now it's been largely stripped of Rimu's dark patterns. It's definitely worth considering moving your genAI comms over to AN because they would be more protected from trolls.
That's probably a good idea. I'll look into it.
Awesome sauce :)
good news, nobody who like Piefed has to use it. we've gotten PyLova to the point it's running Quokk.au and Anarchist.Nexus, and we've not only removed the censorship and the bias, but we've also improved the UI, made some new themes, and most important of all patched some security vulnerabilities.
at this point it's better than Piefed in every way.
This is my first hearing of PyLova, could I get a rundown? Is it a fork of piefed? Seperate project? Are there things it has that piefed doesnt, or things piefed has that PyLova doesnt currently? What's the state of app support (I assume not there presently, which is totally fair)
It's a fork of piefed that's currently more feature advanced. If you scroll through the comments on this post somebody else posted more details about said features.
App support is identical to piefed, since the api is the same.
Wait piefed has a secret shadowban list too?
Did they learn nothing from Tessaract?
I fucking knew it.
“You can’t trust those commies who make Lemmy! I know, I‘ll put in secret censorship to protect others from that I think is wrong! I’m the savior of the world!”
You can feed this pie right up your ass 🖕
The Tesseract rants did mention that Rimu should thank him for taking the heat off of him for his blocking.
Rimu:
It does have a list of instances it defeds from by default, but quokka isn't on it.
Piefed did add the ability to 'silence' instances which hides posts from those instances from the All feed, but posts from communities you subscribe to still show up. It's similar to Lemmy's 'hide community' feature. Quokka is on piefed.social's hidden instance list.
That feature was made to silence Quokk.au. Rimu added it only after he started melting down and having issues with everyone.
I'm not disputing that, he absolutely did, it's just not really similar to the Tesseract situation.
That’s fair. Even Rimu said the Tesserect dev went too far.
Apparently not, or maybe they just think they can get away with it.
Actually, tesseract learned from rimu
Rimu is not just instance-beefing, he's so salty he's going against the whole FOSS ethos just to be as petty as possible. PTB.
PTB, but it’s Rimu so what can you expect?
Man, I saw a single post from Rimu some months ago and pegged them as a scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds, censorious control freak totalitarian, months ago, blocked em.
Is this person like... actually important in some way, or do they just... loudly think that about themself?
They're a piefed dev/contributor or something?
the main author.
Yeah, this is PTB.
You can't just shut down an otherwise on topic comment because you don't like it. I mean, you can, but if it's in this situation you're using your position to block dissent. That's literally what power tripping is.
Rimu rehashing old drama?
What is the manchild trying to distract from now, did he invade Iran and fuck up or something?
I saw the thread without context trying to defend their actions and I just laughed.
"Boy golly, I'm just so new to this FOSS thing!"
Like, I still don't really know the details, but this pattern has gotten old.
