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
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
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.
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.
Just curious, but why not use Lemmy instead?
there's a lot of features that PyLova has that Lemmy does not.
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.
Totally agree with you. Which sucks because I really wanted to like the project. But the more stuff that comes out about it and the creator just makes me shake my head.
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.
Rimu initially made PieFed because he wanted more moderation tools that the lemmy devs didn't want. It was always about censorship for him.
All the original PieFed fanboy power users and slowly realizing that they picked a fascist over the communists.
Rimu rehashing old drama?
What is the manchild trying to distract from now, did he invade Iran and fuck up or something?
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.
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.
Don’t worry his Sycophants will make the excuses.
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.
