Thank you <3 Fix’d the main post

MOAR

Yes. Feed me chicken nuggets.

You must be new here. Doubt you’ll be here long. Goodbye.

Again, check Rule 1. Like… click the link instead of just making an unwanted bitchy assessment about a rule you tacitly agreed to upon engaging with this community.

Please check Rule 1.

You comment. You’re adding to the fediverse <3

Disagree. There are far more posters that post consistently now a days. Before it really was like… 4 or 5 of us but now there’s far more than that.

But I am letting myself down ;_;

<3

I need to get back to posting more.

New here? <3

Really not a fan of repeatedly seeing these oddly specific posts jumping to conclusions and “just asking questions.”

This type of disengenuous behavior has a specific label called ‘Sealioning’. It is against lemmy.world rules, which this community says to follow. Section 1.1 specifically hyperlinks to Sealioning. Yet this post remains.

That and the fact that, strangely, all my critical comments of Rimu are not visible on piefed.social despite my posts and other comments being visible. No removals in the modlog either.

That comment will be invisible on piefed.social as Rimu has sidestepped the modlog and personally silenced me for criticising him <3

He also has silenced my account from piefed.social. None of my comments are federating to that instance yet there is nothing in the modlog about me. So, Rimu is out here complaining about the modlog problem but he’s actively sidestepping it. He’s silencing users without any reason. So… he’s shadowbanning people.

Are we SURE he isn’t Spez?

I have grown so weary of your flagrant lies, Rimu.

This is nonsense. Stop posting lies based off of your own misunderstandings. Stop using this community as your own personal drama cope.

Edit: Lol this comment, and none of my recent ones criticizing Rimu, are visible on piefed.social. Hmm. I wonder why. You really going to complain about people running things as a fiefdom and then act the way that you are?

I would concur with this assessment.

I’ve not had many run ins with Rimu myself but the ones that I have had have been… tense. For example, he said that he believes that Lemmy devs should have added guardrails to Lemmy in order to stop it being, as he described, “overrun with memes”. So he hardbaked in something that marked meme communities as “low effort”. He doesn’t like reaction gifs so he hardbaked in something that gave negative reputation to people using reaction gifs. Oh yeah, and he made up the whole reputation garbage all over again so certain users could be more valuable than others.

Yeah. It really does feel like he is trying to be the king of the fediverse and slip his opinions in wherever he can. Then when someone notices it, he fights against it before eventually adding on a toggle.

Edit: Only made more clear by the fact that my comments critical of him are not visible on piefed.social.

What I’m saying is that even though admins know there were some opinions in the software, they still started Piefed instances. And that’s in a world where Lemmy exists.

I did not state whether or not Piefed.world was created before or after it was found out that Piefed is littered with Rimu opinions. You are making a conclusion you simply cannot make.

In other words, every instance admins assesses whether the additional Piefed features make it worth it to accept the opinionated aspect of the software.

He said, off of a false conclusion from a random assumption.

Doing something, even imperfectly, but listening to the users, still seem valuable to a lot of people.

Brother, you are not listening to a word I have been fucking saying.

He’s not doing it imperfectly. HE’S BEING DISINGENOUS. If I were to talk to you and give you a ton of shit, fill all of it with some useful stuff but the rest is hyper opinionated, you’d expect me to tell you what was opinion and what isn’t. Rimu doesn’t. People have to discover it and then hold his fire to the flame. That is not listening to feedback over things that you knew was a problem. Especially when he knows it is opinionated and then puts it through anyway without informing anyone, without making a note of it, and expecting others to comb through his garbage and hold him accountable. And you are saying that is perfectly acceptable behavior?

Brother, you have lost essentially all of my respect here. As stated elsewhere, because you started two conversations with me at once, I am not continuing this with you.

The same arguments are made when an overwhelming amount of paperwork is dumped on someone during discovery in a trial. It’s not a good argument then and it’s not a good argument now. If you have to go through and check every single thing he’s done to find the hidden things he’s put in there without announcing then that is not transparent. You simply cannot change the fact that Rimu overwhelmingly puts his opinions into Piefed as a whole and then leaves it for everyone else to find the opinion and then tell him to add a toggle. He fights against it before eventually adding a toggle. Meanwhile, damage has already been done for however long with his garbage running rampant without anyone noticing it.

If he is not willing to point out what is opinion and what is code then I am not willing to fact-check every piece of his work to find what is code and what is crap. He’s being disingenous and underhanded.

I am not continuing this conversation.

So Kaplan knew about the “garbage”, but still wanted to go on and keep running Piefed.world?

Either Kaplan’s judgement is supposed to be relied on, or not, but that argument seems weird to say the least.

Others are doing the same thing. This isn’t “weird” or bad judgment. I don’t like Kaplan but they did nothing wrong here.

So it is opted. That people have to convince Rimu to make changes isn’t really an argument.

Yes. If you skip over the entire problem, it does appear as if there is no problem. My issue is that he had to have his feet held to the fire over something that minor because he did not disclose it in the first place. If someone keeps trying to sneak shit past my face and then keeps backing down and going “Uwu sorry I add opt out” but then doesn’t add opt out for the other opinionated stuff that was not discovered yet, why would I applaud them? They’re still doing the bad thing.
