1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?

Snoopy

  1. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?

Community ban

  1. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).

  1. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/ comment that was removed, or got you banned).

I woke up to suddenly being banned with a dm that was misgendering me. It appears the real reason I was banned was due to fact I was critical of Piefed’s recent actions.

Snoopy has no evidence that “I personally released the exploits into the wild" It was actually @yogthos@lemmy.ml who did the deed. I’m not technically enough to be pull it off, nor do I want to.

  1. Explain why you think it’s unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Hopefully unbanned and unblocked.

    Since all yogthos did was using an LLM to find the vulnerability, and anyone can do that without any prior knowledge, today there’s not much speaking for limited disclosure in open source software for anything that can be found with automated checks(and I’d argue that a quick check for security issues should be done proactively). This has changed quickly, but it defacto the new standard.

      i’m showing my age being unaware then! piefed getting unexpected downtime due to an llm-identified vulnerability has been a bit of an ironic twist after there was just that fearmongering post from rimu about db0 ‘moderating with llm’

        Nothing to do with age, this was a very rapid change in the last months - LLMs are pretty good at finding security issues and even write the exploit for you, and you don’t even have to know how to code. That’s awesome tho! It leads to much more secure open source code we all can depend on.

        Rimu is losing it. I switched to piefed so I don’t support the Tankies, but now I am actually considering switching back because even with their views, Lemmy development is attracting much less drama.

          1. Using Lemmy is scarcely tankie support. In fact every Lemmy user represents a financial cost to running a Lemmy instance.
          2. Even if it were tankie support, why would you care? Tankies currently have approximately zero influence in imperial core states. In terms of political triage, they should be the least of your worries.

            Oh, I still financially support dbzer0 to make sure stays alive. It’s not much, but it should cover what I use. I use this account on mobile, and Piefed on Desktop.

            I do care because the finances of Lemmy development and lemmy.ml are intertwined. Since it’s all a big pot, supporting one means supporting the other.

            Russia apologia is pathetic (same with Israel or the US for that matter), and the disinformation campaigns sweeping over Europe fanning the flames of fascism are the work of authoritarians both left and right. Nazis and Tankies are 2 sides of the same coin for me, and I never would be caught dead supporting a Nazi.
