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.

    The more read about these bans stuff on Lemmy, the more I just see the similarities between Reddit and Lemmy lol.

    • Random bans because you said something that disagrees with the moderator.
    • Fake modlog to ban users.
    • More hostility these days.
    • People argue just to… argue. Not to have a genuine debate.

    Eventually every social media platform becomes the same kind of environment. Unfortunately.

      Reddit was a step backwards from slashdot style moderation, really seams like everywhere is either fully public meaningless up votes or fully algorithmic personalized prioritization and nobody is even interested in figuring out how to so comment ranking that scales up to a large userbase.

      The big difference here is that Rimu banning these users has a small impact on them. They can’t participate on or interact with piefed.social, but that’s only a small part of the whole ecosystem.

      Well why would lemmy and reddit be any different? Same format, same people - just on a smaller scale. But it makes any drama more visible.

        Well, when the first migration to Lemmy happened (when Apollo got shut down because of Spez and such), Lemmy was quite friendly and welcoming. Debates and discussions weren’t as heated, and people debated with a genuine interest in the topic. People claimed Lemmy was better than Reddit, and I remember mentioning that it would change, and a few months later, it did, and I mentioned that too and got heavily downvoted. But behold now; different platform but the same kind of toxic environment.

        Though there are still some people who claim Lemmy is better than Reddit, because they don’t like Reddit and/or got banned from Reddit.
