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.
Well, he already admitted that guardrails should have been put up on lemmy to prevent memes from taking root. So why not put up guardrails for users he doesn't like?
Oh wait.
He did.
He made an anti-cm0002 filter.
I'm sorry but genuienly, the last time I saw this kind of behavior was like, two decades ago, Garrys Mod RP communities SteamID banning people from other RP communties in their game mode scripts.
This is just literally petulant child behavior.
Critical support
That's a surprise. Figured he'd add features for them to help his crusade against ml.
Or they just posted too many memes?
Anti-cm0002 filter means that you can't filter cm0002 when on piefed. Going by the logic.
As much as I hate memes, trying to prevent them is dumb.
extremely rare absolute W for Rimu
No. It isn't. Because adding in a filter for a single user is extremely fucking problematic and should be left up to admins to ban or users to block.
I'm sure admins aren't going to be thrilled about Rimu using his power to ban users on their server without their consent.
