Pretty well, too

At this point? Fuck it. Sure.

Rimu is. The rest of them are either tacking onto his coattails because they believe they’ll also gain some amount of control, believe (naively) that they can control him or are buying into his bullshit as the single irrefutable source.

I’ve got no other explanation for why he’s banning users that he has already defederated from. The only way he could be coralling that list is if he’s looking at stuff from another instance and attempting to control the narrative for other admins.

Here.

He pushed that into the code of Piefed at the same time that he was getting criticized a few days ago. Added the feature specifically to control the narrative.

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.

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.

The only thing I ever did was post screenshots of his own statements and evidence that he was either actively lying or being a confused old man.

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 [email protected] 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?

I don’t know. But it’s gotten to the point that I don’t trust any piefed instances anymore at all. Rimu pushed a piece of code into Piefed a few days ago specifically to silence criticism against him and to silently delete/block posts on Piefed. He is exerting such an extreme amount of control onto the entire platform itself that I cannot trust the platform itself.

Every piefed instance, as far as I’m concerned at this point, comes with an enormous asterisk.

[email protected] is the former admin of lemy.lol. It’s also a bit odd because Piefed.social defederated from lemy.lol over their logo and Iso has told Rimu to go fuck himself a few times over it. The fact that he decided to block him here and now is telling because it proves its a personal hitlist and not coordinated harassment as he wants to claim. Otherwise, why wasn’t he blocked prior? And even then, why block an account now from a defederated instance?

Not the first thing I expected to see when I opened my inbox this morning

Perfect

Yeah that fits

I dunno, given his boss he might just end up offering that as a kinky extra.

Because it’s for talent.

Incompetence. I’d explain why but it’s funnier to watch them scramble to find a ‘safe space’ for how they talk where, as Serinus described it in one such place, without having to worry about their PR phrasing. I’m gonna just let them worry about focusing on a mole hunt and digging up the ground. When they pay attention to the skies is when they’ll start thinking with portals.

I used the plural incorrectly but it doesn’t change the fact that I took those screenshots a while ago. They’re not recent. I’m not stating anything else other than how recent they are and how long that information has been out, just that they’re not from the past week.

Those are not recent screenshots. I posted those months ago.

Which will be unable to do because Lemmy.world hoovers up everyone instantly and then sets a false narrative with abusive admins. I mean I’m proof of that. I was there for ages because I didn’t realize they were whole ass lying to me.
