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.
Piefed as a software was always hipster pop. People gravitated towards it because it was new, it's not Lemmy and it tries to be everything. Some features are genuinely good and others aren't implemented in Lemmy for logical reasons. Anyway, point is, the people that create pop tend to be superficial and not want to rock any boats. It's unsurprising that he'd want to create a silo of confirmation bias. But I'm biased because I want my threadiverse experience to be full of people with differing opinions, stances and lifestyles.
That said, I also don't think brigading helps, even when they're baited. Inadvertently or not. Everyone's own mental health should remain the priority.
i think someone made the argument that it was insanely less demanding on servers though
Yeah, if you've prevented the majority of the threadiverse interacting with your server, it'll of course be less demanding. 🥴
