Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?

@rimu@piefed.social

What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?

Mass instance bans

Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).

Done

Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).

Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

He has abused the modlog to claim 'harassment', which I have never engaged in. I have not even interacted with Rimu in any way for days prior to getting kicked from the PieFed developer Matrix channels.

He has decided to mass ban 20 users because they have spoken out against his erratic and hostile behaviour as of late.

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

Same, I mean c'mon I was clearly popular enough to get a .world instance ban but not enough for piefed.social 3:

It's possible he'll add more people from threads in YPTB. He's insecure like that, he probably stalks our instance to see if we're saying bad things about him.

[-] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 days ago

Well, i got missed in the first round, so

FUCK RIMU.

[-] TherapyGary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

This is just like the time Rimu sent me all those unsolicited butthole pics 😔

Edit: /s

[-] mathemachristian@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 days ago

Yeah from the inclusion of people like edie and exclusion of people like kittenzrulz I'd assume he just looked at who participated in the threads from a bad instance and banned accordingly

[-] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago

So, what you're saying is that I have a chance to be one of the cool kids and get banned by posting "gfy rimu"?

Yeah, for best chances though you'll have to make your own threads, since he banned dbzer0 and a lot of people talking shit about him.

[-] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

Hmmm. Sounds like effort and I don't have much of that to spare, especially on someone like that.

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 days ago

I'm out here posting commie shit every day and getting into fights about it. But occasionally I take a peek at MoG and I've never seen my name there, it's always just Cowbee this and Cowbee that. Now I don't even make the blocklist.

What am I, chopped liver?

[-] calmblue75@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago

You've yet to post 17000~ more comments to reach Cowbee.

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago

Damn, he do be posting.

[-] ISO@lemmy.zip 13 points 4 days ago

Is my name on the list?
Yes Sir
Sh...
Oh, but it actually has a different surname
Phew

You see, surnames are important. With them, you get a working fedilink, instead of a broken one.

(I don't care about the drama. I just saw users getting caught by this bug.)

[-] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Iso@lemy.lol 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?

[-] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 4 days ago

That's really funny. Probably means rimu is maintaining a personal shit-list and decided to just copy-paste it to piefeds banlist.

[-] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 2 points 3 days ago

Getting triggered over a pepe in 2026 is almost as cringe as posting a pepe in 2026.

Git gud scrub

Such powerful harassment as this ^ is how I was able to so masterfully reach ban status ☺

[-] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 2 points 3 days ago

And here I am writing multiple paragraphs discussing the value of a minimal harm strategy to get my ban. I, myself, need to 'git gud' it seems.

[-] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago

takes notes furiously

Me too lol, their mistake I guess 😆

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

Under the radar, yet close to the sun.

[-] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 3 points 3 days ago

Apparently all it takes it crossposting.

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

1766 readers
93 users here now

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


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.
