when I calmly explained that the tool I created did not, in fact, automagically upload a users entire history to ChatGPT, @Rimu@piefed.social just straight up said he wasn't interested in anything I had to say. he would rather stick to the egregious ignorance he displayed in his post than accept that he was wrong. he keeps making new threads about it and getting ratio'd by his own users because he would rather refuse to listen to the literal dozens of people telling him he's making a huge fuss about nothing, than admit he was wrong or overreacted.

of course we've seen how well that's gone for him.

Clear PTB.

Also a nonsensical thread to start with, all conjecture (but calling it fact). I believe someone has misplaced their poop knife or other shit stirring tool, and its making posts.

Edit: To be clear, I'm talking about the lack of mod action on what is a pretty obvious shit stirring / drama farming post, but instead making an incredibly illogical and uninformed comment about it instead, then taking mod action on snark - while also throwing insults around.

PTB. I'm gonna admit rimu's crashout and meltdown has been quite the spectacle. And running roughshod in the lemmy.world threads knowing he can't do shit or reply back because he banned me without cause has been kinda fun (and probably is the reason he crossposted to a comm that's on less neutral grounds), just sucks it comes at the expense of all you fine folks.

And replying right before locking a thread to make sure one gets the last word is absolute pissbaby behaviour. These people actually think they're being "the adults", confounding.

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?

Hi. Admin of Lemy.lol here.

This does not surprise me. When I joined the Lemy.lol team, I was informed that Rimu had pre-emptively defederated from us sometime ago due to our logo. Pepe the frog. His claim was that it was a symbol of alt-right hatred. There is a debate/discussion to be had around that, especially due to the fact the original creator vehemently stands against the bastardization of his creation, but Rimu refused to engage. His mind had been made up. This situation appears to be no different. He is searching for 'proof' to validate his claim of abuse by the administration team of Dbzer0. I suspect this extends from his similarly rabid reaction over the Lemmy.World admin abuse of Anarchist.nexus and its users.

Learning all of this, as well as his added tools to silence people critical of him, I find it both obscenely hypocritical and obscenely suspicious of his behavior here. This accusation appears to be some level of projection, more so than an actual rational conclusion. As we have all learned recently, people who frequently scream one specific conclusion are often guilty of helping come to this conclusion themselves.

Rimu has already been proven to be using a piefed feature to silence dissenting voices.

What else is he doing with Piefed?

Not merely a PTB, but a dangerous one. The developer of Piefed taking these stances deeply shakes all credibility of Piefed as a platform for myself. It appears to be a rebuilding of reddit from the ground up with Spez as its head. It is for this reason that I have fully recommended for Lemy.lol to not have a Piefed instance. Or, at the very least, not a basic piefed instance. We will gladly wait for a fork that has been sanitized.

And here I am, scrolling through Lemmy like normal when I'll randomly catch glimpses of apparent Lemmy drama like this.

I don't really understand what's going on or who's at fault, all I know is every time there's some kind of instance-vs-instance bullshit, everyone is pointing fingers at everyone else and I just think "fuck it, I don't have the mental capacity to focus on trying to completely pull myself away from the bullshit"

Wow such petty behaviour from a '50 year old'. You would think @Libb@piefed.social would act more mature.

As an added facit to this PTB discussion, it looks like Rimu deleted the .world post that had a negate score while keeping the piefed.social one up (which has a positive score).

Lets all be honest, PieFed was created solely in opposition to the political beliefs of Lemmy developers. Anyone closely related to those 'people,' is going to have some pretty far-right beliefs and behaviors. They just made a hugbox capable of doing what they need to to ensure complete ideological isolation.

PTB, Rimu has been crashing out big time over this for a while and I don't see it ending well for him. This was all because I called him a Zionist, and I think I was correct because he immediately defended Zionists getting banned from dbzer0.

PTB. I’ve been annoyed with the Lemmy devs for their tankie bs and transphobia; it’s disappointing seeing the main Piefed dev get into stupid nonsense drama slapfights, especially when they’re indirectly carrying water for Zionist apologia

Rimu definitely pretty pathetic but this whole thing is pretty childish.

PTB . Those type of people think they are smart with their pretense of ignorance. The brauty of the block is that you can still see and comment on peoole theu block you

It's unhinged that he uses Samskara out of all people in his example. Just shows how well the tool is working, Samskara is one of the most blatant Zionists on Lemmy.
