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.
Well, at this point, the piefed idea is in the mud for me. The point of federation is exactly not giving people too much power. Just move on from him and let’s do better.
The link was not opening for me. But this one opens: https://quokk.au/c/[email protected]/p/904933/rimu-mass-bans-users
I try to separate the program from the programmer, PieFed is still good even if piefed.social is not
Lemmy is still good even if lemmy.ml is not
I would, at this point, trust more on a fork of piefed than upstream, given all the drama with hardcoded filters and Rimu being unable to act as a federated project maintainer.
I mean it’s not like Lemmy devs are any better.
Why is it so hard for fediverse devs to just be chill? I don’t get it.
They are devs, which is different from mods. No need for the same person to do both roles. I’d even say that admins and mods should be separate.
I dunno, I had a few slap fights with dessalines, but no bans. So, even that tiny margin is different at least
Lemmy devs are definetely better because they dont bake their opinions into codebase unlike piefed do.
Like what is the point of the fediverse if single person has a grip on significant part of the users and exerts their power like spez.
Chill people don’t program social media software from scratch, is my guess. Chill people grill in their backyards instead.
Ehh… this very thread kind of points to the lemmy devs not being anywhere near the level rimu seems to be at. As well as the other thread.
