Rimu not simply happy with deleting comments is removing entire users now to suppress people countering his lies.
Free speech is banned on PieFed.Social, only praise of dear leader is allowed.

Can someone give me context to this drama revolving him? I'm new to the fedi so I don't understand much but all I know is that Rimu made the Piefed software...
Yes, Rimu is the main developer of piefed. While the project originally started with very noble stated goals, Rimu is turning out to have some very strong opinions and uses his control of the software and his adminship of the main piefed instance to impose those opinions on everybody. Very often so far, his actions and his stated reasons do not line up. In a way, it's even worse than lemmy where at least the software is free of the ideological beliefs of the devs.
If you're on piefed.social, there's a lot of content being censored you might not even be aware of. About half of that is said controversy about piefed.
