Rimu deletes users to hide criticisms

5 days ago by Andy_R to c/yepowertrippinbastards

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.

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

A secret blacklist that was being foisted on every user.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.


Posting Guidelines

All posts should follow this basic structure:

  1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
  2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
  3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
  4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
  5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rules

  • Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
  • Don’t use private communications to prove your point. We can’t verify them and they can be faked easily.
  • Don’t deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
  • Don’t harass mods or brigade comms. Don’t word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
  • Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
  • You can post about power trippin’ in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
  • If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.
  • Keep the comments in YPTB posts about the moderation action itself, not about the general topic in which the moderation took place.

Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.

Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.

YPTB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.


Some acronyms you might see.

  • PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
  • YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
  • YDM new - You Deserved More: The commenter thinks you got off too lightly.
  • BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
  • CLM - Clueless Mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.
