Rimu Mass Bans Users

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.

I took my first ride in a Chinese car recently. Not in the U.S., of course, since sky-high tariffs have made them almost impossible to import. I was visiting family in the U.K., and we rented a BYD Sealion SUV. And let me tell you: I saw immediately why American car companies are desperate to have these things kept out of this country. It was elegantly designed, incredibly comfortable, and a smooth ride.

The share of Americans who say their financial situation is getting worse is higher now than at any point in the past 25 years, per new Gallup data out Tuesday morning.

Why it matters: Americans are struggling after years of higher inflation and a recent surge in gas prices due to the Iran war — a major challenge for President Trump and Republicans as the midterm elections come into view.

By the numbers: 55% of respondents to a poll conducted April 1-15 said their financial situation is getting worse; that's up from 53% last year and 47% in 2024.

**The number is higher than at any point since 2001, even compared with recessions during the pandemic or in the wake of the financial crisis**. 

Friction point: This is the fifth consecutive year that more Americans say their finances are worsening rather than improving.

Zoom in: When asked to identify their most important financial problem, 31% cited the cost of living.

Energy costs are mentioned by 13% of Americans, up 10 percentage points from last year and the highest since 2008.

Reality check: Inflation is still elevated from where it was the last time Trump was in office, but it's certainly lower than at its peak in 2022.

The big picture: Still, the recent surge in gas prices has increased the pressure on American pocketbooks.

The average price of a gallon of gas is $4.11, says AAA. It was under $3 before the war started on Feb. 28.
Many Americans blame Trump for the increase.

Banned from lemmy world completely for reporting tos breaking comments like this https://lemmy.world/comment/23350098 in a single thread https://lemmy.world/post/45909721.

Almost undoubtedly in retaliation from Serinous for calling out all their other removals and bans

https://lemmy.world/post/45982249

Update rogue mod flat out admits it and apologizes to the account doing tos breaking comments.

https://lemmy.world/post/45982249/23425409

Well done world, well fucking done

Looks like there's a mod going rogue on the announcements comm.

Serious is removing and banning anyone pointing out how terrible of a move defedederating from db0 and AN would be, or anyone pointing out his removals. Calling them disinformation comments then banning them for same reason.

https://lemmy.world/modlog/5

Unless this is expected behavior where anything that a mod doesn't like becomes disinformation?

Edit 18hrs after post.

No answers so again apparently this is accepted behavior. Sadly not shocked

Edit 2, 2days later.

Still nothing but insults from a head lemmy world mod. Really great look for lemmy world

Edit 3, 10 days later.

Mod in question retaliated by banning me instance wide for reporting tos breaking comments, and then apologizing to said account here.

@ruud@lemmy.world @MrKaplan@lemmy.world @lwadmin@lemmy.world

Is this acceptable behavior for mods in your opinion? Retaliation and attacking users reporting rule breaking comments?
