Rimu published yet another hit piece against the /0 instance and this time posted it in his own instance comms as well. One of his mods jumped in, admitted they don't know anything about anything, but nevertheless felt confident enough to state their opinion as fact and in the process insult all of us collectively, then stickied his opinion for good measure.
So I decided to reply sarcastically, at which point that mod insulted me and locked the thread, which is apparently a feature in piefed which simply hides/deletes further replies in that thread, but since it's not a feature in lemmy, it appears to function like a shadow delete.
This is what my last reply would have been.
(Yes I'm being snarky, but that "I'm so mature" bullshit just rubs me the wrong way.)
In my opinion, using mod powers to get the last insult in, is just bastard behaviour.
That "shadow lock" thing sounds like a terrible feature. I'm so annoyed too because I posted a real tear of a rant at that one dude suggesting everyone read Proudhon. Buddy, I have got opinions on that kind of thing.
Real talk here though, wtf is going on? Every day there's some new assault on our instance and every time the thread is dogpiled with crypto-fascists and Zionists.
I've been on the net a very long time. I know what a Nazi infiltration looks like. It looks like the temperature on the board suddenly spiking, with huge arguments constantly breaking out that, somehow, magically, always start to turn towards topics that were "just asking questions" in ways to start etching and eroding the community standards. It starts by claiming everyone doing good moderation is a Zionist or a nazi, so they get kicked out and replaced by actual fascists.
I'm not worried about dbzer0 falling. I'm afraid that piefed already has. It did appear rather quickly, offering a slew of features to get folks off Lemmy. Would it be so strange if a state actor was promoting (and developing) it in order to gradually EEE their way into control here?
Piefed was created out of anti-communist ideology. It isn't very surprising to me how compatible that page is with crypto-fascism and zionism.
It wasn't.
"Anyone who doesn't like communism is highly compatible with crypto-fascism and zionism"
I wish I could view the world with a mindset this simple. Everything would be so much easier.
a stated goal of the lead developer was preventing 'tankies' from wanting to use the software by baking stuff in.
Null is still insisting that's not the case, Null can't read I guess.
The developer of Piefed is at least comfortable with the MeanwhileOnGrad use of 'tankie'. That's the poster child community of calling anything left of Kissinger a tankie.
I knew rimu was listening to goat and pugjeasus on mwog but didn't realize rimu was also posting there 🤮🤦
MeanwhileOnGrad, where you're not allowed to say socialism is good but explicitly comfortable with Nazis
Null also somehow can't click this link but said that there is no proof about Rimu
Wow I can't believe Rimu would delete the page, must be the only reason Null doesn't see it
Its literally the explicit reason for it's creation, from the dev themselves.
What's it flag radio free Asia or other articles spammed by a particular anti China poster? 🤔
Historically, anti-communist movements suffered from from far right or fascist infiltration. The two go together like peas in a pod. It happened for the White Army, it happened for Mussolini's red threat, and it obviously happened in Germany via fear of bolshevism.
Don't be surprised if your anti communist page starts attracting right elements.
Well the good news is that your reply is still visible from our instance, so at least I get to enjoy it
I've been raising this for a while now, especially because the creator also routinely shows up on the comm where people regularly rant about wanting to be free from 'degenerate roaches'
(former lemmings.world admin plugging piefed as a place where you can be free of 'degenerates')
And if you report comments that break goat's own rules, he'll never remove em because of who reported the comment.
I forgot about the time two months ago when Rimu hung out at the Nazi bar, and PJ convinced him that to dispute calling the 1932–33 famine a genocide is “genocide denial.”
For pj & goat, “genocide denial” is their favorite card to play, like it’s some magic spell.
I’ve never encountered rikudou@lemmings.world and have no idea what Rimu’s alt accounts are or were.
Not at all. Also wouldn't surprise me if the people promoting piefed heavily weren't doing it organically.
