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.

    A bit off-topic, but Pepe does raise my hackles, and has for the last dozen years, ever since #gamergate. Ex-Groypers will see it as an invitation to a Nazi bar.

      That’s why you’ve got to use Pepe while being vehemently woke, to make it clear bigots aren’t tolerated

      Given how ubiquitous Pepe is as a template for emotes in places like Twitch, I argue that Pepe was taken back by the gamers as a mascot.

      Now, because gamers are gamers I also don’t fault anyone having reactive doubts about usage of Pepe. But I don’t think those doubts are license to action without some burden of proof.

      Posting frogs itself means nothing. The content of the frogs means everything, including dogwhistles. He’s not a dogwhistle himself anymore, just with exceptions to that rule, like the specific groyper one.

      He has been granted the title of having reasonable innocent use, but he has not been extended the rank of not having problematic associations.
