When you aren't popular enough to make the list :(

The only thing I've ever said to him was pushing back against his criticism with screenshots of evidence that proved him wrong.

He is not removing people for a coordinated harassment campaign. He is removing people to silence dissent and exert a stranglehold on his platform and his own ego.

PTB is, quite literally, not strong enough. He is an active danger to the entire fediverse as a whole. He is dragging down credibility of any instance that runs Piefed and has proven that not only is he a manchild incapable of regulating his own emotions and ego.

Piefed has become Chernobyl levels of radioactive. You can keep running a Piefed instance but you better expect questions on why you're helping to further this narcissistic psychopaths control and influence.

It's also kind of strange that Iso@lemy.lol is on that list. They're a former admin of lemy.lol who had beef with Rimu but Rimu defederated from lemy.lol a while ago over their logo. The fact that he's banning that user in amongst all the others kind of proves that this is a personal hitlist and not harassment. Otherwise, why are you banning a user that you've defederated from?

Good thing Piefed is very anti-authoritarian :)

@Rimu@piefed.social has completely destroyed his reputation by this point, and likely has thoroughly destroyed public perception of piefed. He is continuing to prove he is exactly the threat people have said the Lemmy devs will be.

In his own words.

Rimu's also banned people who never interact with Piefed.social like myself simply if people like PugJesus make harassment posts about them (which feddit.org and blahaj.zone followed through with too). This is more blatant as it's even less targeted and includes people I've never seen break any rules, like Edie.

From MeanwhileOnGrad, against me:

Those users are probably going to end up in a banned list hardcoded in the program.

PTB, he banned me for screenshotting the public group chat.

what's with this desperate cry for attention from him lately? why can't he just go back to being the person nobody fucking remembers until he breaks something in Piefed again?

Hi. Admin of lemy.lol here who is also on that list.

I have made 5 comments in total and have not commented in the matrix channels. I have also made a single comment about Rimu. This.

Rimu is incapable of handling basic criticism. If an admin is such a threat that a single comment about him constitutes a 'coordinated harassment campaign', then Rimu and Piefed.social must be defederated en masse. We at lemy.lol would do so if he didn't defederate from us over his perception of a frog.

I would like to know what I did that constitutes harassment. I'm pretty sure I just got banned for being in the threads.

Remind me again why y’all have piefed instances?

"these people don't hide that they don't like me and since I have a tiny iota of power I'm gonna ban them! Grr I'm angy! >:[ see it has an actual reason, I'm not whining! "

Soooo hes killed piefed with consistently idiotic behaviour. (I'm being kind here)

Hopefully the fork takes off and saves the project.

This confirms everything I said about piefed months ago. I even made a piefed account and brought up concerns, only to be told the "anti-tankie" controls were for everyone's own good.

Sucks to suck.

Extreme PTB. This is bad, especially after seeing how rimu tried to malign dbzer0 recently. Very ban-happy behaviour from the piefed admin.

Shame on Rimu. They clearly shouldn't be in any position of authority.

Alas, yes, PTB.

While any given instance can freely ban people for whatever reason, making reasons up is always gone to be PTB.

If they'd just said they didn't like the people and didn't want them around? Shitty, but only PTB on a technicality, in that that's something an admin shouldn't use as criteria. Yeah, I know that seems fucking weird, but there is a degree of personal choice when running an instance. Nobody has to let in people they don't like. On a small instance, it wouldn't matter.

But on that instance, it matters. If you're going to play the heavy on a flagship instance, you've got a higher standard to meet. If that's not in your capabilities, you shouldn't be running a main instance. Foist that work off to someone temperamentally inclined to not screw the pooch. But if you're going to be pulling that kind of thing, be honest. Don't make up bullshit reasons, it destroys your credibility and shows that you are, indeed, in it for the power fantasy to some degree or another.

Say what you want about the names on that list as members of the fediverse at large, but half of those names are well known to not abuse power, and the more recognizable ones sure as hell aren't organizing any harassment. Even if only because they're recognizable. They'd be smart enough to create a random account unconnected to their main ones.

So, yeah, PTB and full of malarkey

why would the liberal ban so many liberals?

Rimu needs to be the first person since Conner O'Malley to be criminally convicted for being weird. Rimu, why do you choose to be this person?

Well his claim of stepping away from public interactions latest as long as expected

How can I participate in the next big harassment campaign? Do I get paid in Yuan? Ruble? Can I get it via Xi JinPIX?
