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.

      He’s been pushing very hard that his rules should be applied everywhere, and it’s why I lost all trust in Piefed. I went from being interested in switching to it to immediately disinterested, I’m not sure what he’s coded in there that has personal interest to him. Yeah I disagree with people on the internet, but that’s a server admin’s personal decision, not something he gets to make for other admins.

        It’s been extremely clear rimus goals for the fediverse from the beginning with the blog post they did outlining how social media should be.

        I’m not sure what he’s coded in there that has personal interest to him.

        They seem to be wanting to build the next everything app in the fediverse. Built along how they feel social media should be. While also focusing power up towards the admin

        Example: their discussions on growing communities

        https://join.piefed.social/2024/06/22/piefed-features-for-growing-healthy-communities/

        PieFed gives admins a suite of tools to take a more hands-on approach to gardening all the communities on their instance. It does this by ignoring the community divisions and instead treating all posts and accounts as a big pool of things to be managed. Of course there are solid community moderation tools available but I will not be focusing on them in this blog post.

        In summary all the worst parts of reddit on the fediverse

      Yup, saw that after I posted the screenshot.

      Who is being targeted for harassment now? I think its the people who are being posted about and being lied about, personally.

        Everyone but the ones causing the actual issues. Like now with rimu and before lemmy.world admins and mods
