Rimu deletes users to hide criticisms

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.

seriously, do these two have a bet running on who can be more of a whiny, petulant child or something? I seem to remember some backlash against Rimu before for acting shitty (though I don't remember what for off the top of my head) that was quickly overshadowed and forgotten about because of the Tesseract debacle. It's like they're mad that their thunder got stolen.

Yes.

I'm out of touch, who is admiral patrick? Is this just a meme?

HuntressHimbo@lemmy.zip · 30 pts · 15d (2 replies)

Admiral Patrick was the Tesseract dev that included many instances, random communities, and individual users on a blacklist to get filtered in his frontend

deegeese@sopuli.xyz · 24 pts · 15d

A secret blacklist that was being foisted on every user.

Just petty fascism.

They basically used a fronted end ui used by many instances to push their own views of what people should see

Option 1: apologize, add in back the attribution, reverse the censorship, move on.

Option 2: Whatever the fuck this is.

It’s the list all over again, either you’re cool enough to be deleted or you’re not.

I've never been so non-conflicted before about being cool. Cool.

Rimus logic is this is just people trying to do targeted harassment. Cause it's harassment to keep shining light on terrible decisions and actions.

Yeah see this is exactly the sort of bad faith bullshit I’ve been dealing with for months.

Rimu Salazar is the real victim in this story!

supersquirrel@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 11d

I am so tired of these losers like Rimu who can't accept the politics of average people have evolved past them and so they claw at these truly pathetic methods of attempting to silence and manipulate people.

It is disgusting and it underlines how toxic and extreme self proclaimed "moderates" or "centrists" can be.

I am a "radical leftist" but I will never resort to these kinds of underhanded and sad tactics undertaken by someone who is clearly lashing out from a perceived loss of power and status.

I aim to convince people of my points, not blatantingly manipulate and micromanage what people can see so they adopt my world views based on faulty premises.

Shame on you Rimu, you sad, toxic troll living under a bridge.

Wtf?

What does it mean to be deleted? I am not familiar with how that works in the fedi...

Andy_R@feddit.uk · 53 pts · 16d (2 replies)

It removes the account from the instance as if it never existed.

Users on PieFed.social cannot ever again see my posts or visit my profile.

It's also interesting to see one of the other admins/mods being the one to post rimus blog post, but then rimu just being in the thread using it as his response in same thread

muzzle@lemmy.zip · 8 pts · 16d (5 replies)

The irony, in all of this, is that feddit was born because the Lemmy authors were too left wing for done people.

I never followed that discussion too closely, but I doubt things ever went that far with them.

cloudskater@piefed.blahaj.zone · 19 pts · 16d (4 replies)

Being a tankie is hardly left wing, it's cosplaying as a leftist while being a fascist in actuality.

Read theory screams the Tankie, while doing nothing in real life. Why go do things that help your area when you can act smug on the internet, that's what Marx said to do.

I have a conspiracy theory that the modlog is made to suck on purpose. Why else do they mix good mod actions (featuring and unfeaturing posts) with bad ones (banned from community) or don't have a filter by comm or a better user search or how mods can purge a user and it doesn't make it into the log at all or how some instances have seemingly made theirs worse by removing the few options we have on that page.

iirc there's third party mod tools for Lemmy/PieFed that supposedly improve it a lot. I don't use them or can link them but I remember seeing a few.

I’ve been half following this drama

Its all been documented. no one owes you research lol, we're not at school/work.

sudo@programming.dev · 15 pts · 15d (9 replies)

The Lemmy devs never encoded their personal beefs or political opinions into their software. They've always kept that to their own instance. There's bigger assholes administering other instances. But its only Rimu and Admiral Patrick tried to impose their opnions on other instances with hard coded block lists secret shadowban lists, and hidden social credit scores.

eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 9 pts · 15d (1 reply)

At least the Lemmy devs keep their beliefs to .ml, can't say the same for PieFed. They want their entire software to be talior made for all users to one person.

MysticMushroom1776@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 14d

Yup and ironically piefed's greatest fans were claiming the exact opposite. That Lemmy's devs were going to do that and that piefed is saving us from it. What a joke.

poVoq@slrpnk.net · 0 pts · 6d (6 replies)

That is only partially true. The Lemmy codebase is largely ideological by omission. A lot of very useful moderation tools are not implemented in Lemmy because the devs disagree with them ideologically. This has been a struggle with them basically from day one and it has enabled a toxic culture to fester on many instances.

sudo@programming.dev · 2 pts · 6d (5 replies)

Please be specific.

You're calling me lazy when you don't post your own sources? You're getting offended by me simple asking "and where did you here this?"

I’m not a fanboi btw; give me real proof, not this whiny shit, I’m ready to change my mind. Until then, benefit of the doubt.
