Rimu recently started a new rant thread. I copied the response of the person they had targeted and in less than a minute Rimu had deleted the comment.
This is the comment Rimu did not want people being able to see: https://feddit.uk/post/53824748/26875911

For many the purpose of federation is explicit, intentional control over their bubble. This includes, but is not limited to, silencing critics and elevating the self.
Honestly, the modern fediverse reminds me a bit the fringes of newsnet and IRC. Power-tripping moderators and god-complex “hackers” that know just a bit more about the clients or protocols than most people care to.
And just like then, I ignore the drama and simply walkaway if it affects my client or entry point to the network.
Ah yes, the classic Bastard Operator From Hell.
