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
This is the thread I shared it on: https://feddit.uk/post/53824747
I don’t see how people can still use piefed with someone like this in charge. A new red flag pops up every month. It’s hard to see them among all the other red flags.
There’s a number of negative things about the Lemmy devs as well. This isn’t a whataboutism, or deflection. One of the lead Lemmy devs account is named for a genocidal dictator. I will give them acknowledgment and props for not perpetuating larger systems of oppression through software. Instead choosing to gleefully micro manage their own fiefdoms by hand doing it.
Point being if you’re using the threadiverse, you’re not going to find a major backend that isn’t it developed by someone with a toxic relationship to power. And ultimately a tool is still a tool regardless of Who develops it.
Rimu is not just instance-beefing, he’s so salty he’s going against the whole FOSS ethos just to be as petty as possible. PTB.
Man, I saw a single post from Rimu some months ago and pegged them as a scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds, censorious control freak totalitarian, months ago, blocked em.
Is this person like… actually important in some way, or do they just… loudly think that about themself?
They’re a piefed dev/contributor or something?
the main author.
Wait piefed has a secret shadowban list too?
Did they learn nothing from Tessaract?
They say theirs is okay because the options show when setting up the system for admins 🙄
I fucking knew it.
“You can’t trust those commies who make Lemmy! I know, I‘ll put in secret censorship to protect others from that I think is wrong! I’m the savior of the world!”
You can feed this pie right up your ass 🖕
Apparently not, or maybe they just think they can get away with it.
It does have a list of instances it defeds from by default, but quokka isn’t on it.
Piefed did add the ability to ‘silence’ instances which hides posts from those instances from the All feed, but posts from communities you subscribe to still show up. It’s similar to Lemmy’s ‘hide community’ feature. Quokka is on piefed.social’s hidden instance list.
That feature was made to silence Quokk.au. Rimu added it only after he started melting down and having issues with everyone.
I’m not disputing that, he absolutely did, it’s just not really similar to the Tesseract situation.
That’s fair. Even Rimu said the Tesserect dev went too far.
Rimu rehashing old drama?
What is the manchild trying to distract from now, did he invade Iran and fuck up or something?
Someone forked piefed and is claiming rimu stole their code.
Because they did and you can see the chat conversation where Rimu talks about trying to remove Mia’s attribution from the code and complaining it went through on some of them.
👍
🤡
PTB, but it’s Rimu so what can you expect?
