This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
All posts should follow this basic structure:
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
YPTB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
Some acronyms you might see.

seriously, do these two have a bet running on who can be more of a whiny, petulant child or something? I seem to remember some backlash against Rimu before for acting shitty (though I don't remember what for off the top of my head) that was quickly overshadowed and forgotten about because of the Tesseract debacle. It's like they're mad that their thunder got stolen.

Yes.
Rimu admires the unquestionable father figure rule.
Honestly i'm mot gonna be surprised if they turn out to be the same person
I'm out of touch, who is admiral patrick? Is this just a meme?
Admiral Patrick was the Tesseract dev that included many instances, random communities, and individual users on a blacklist to get filtered in his frontend
A secret blacklist that was being foisted on every user.
Just petty fascism.
They basically used a fronted end ui used by many instances to push their own views of what people should see
Option 1: apologize, add in back the attribution, reverse the censorship, move on.
Option 2: Whatever the fuck this is.
I'm out of the loop, what this criticisms is about?
Never mind, found this: https://piefed.social/comment/12508093
What the hell? Why am I not deleted? 😆
It’s the list all over again, either you’re cool enough to be deleted or you’re not.
I've never been so non-conflicted before about being cool. Cool.
either you’re cool enough to be deleted or you’re not.
Oh! I'm finally one of the cool kids! I got deleted and banned from piefed back in the early days when it was still new! I feel so proud! lol
Wtf?
What does it mean to be deleted? I am not familiar with how that works in the fedi...
It removes the account from the instance as if it never existed.
Users on PieFed.social cannot ever again see my posts or visit my profile.
Badge of honor 🫡
It’s the 1984 memory hole. Rimu fancies himself as a benevolent dictator.
Free speech is banned on PieFed.Social, only praise of dear leader is allowed.
Rimus logic is this is just people trying to do targeted harassment. Cause it's harassment to keep shining light on terrible decisions and actions.

Yeah see this is exactly the sort of bad faith bullshit I’ve been dealing with for months.

I read his little -open source runs on good faith- essay. I find it pretty ironic when he says "A healthy project allows someone to occasionally be wrong, awkward, inexperienced, tired or ill without immediately turning that event into a judgement about their character. When someone makes a decision and other people jump to conclusions about transphobia, ableism, etc then it becomes a determinant of someone’s moral value. And that’s toxic."
Pretty hypocritical, considering he banned me almost as soon as I joined piefed back in the early days. It wasn’t based on anything I said or posted. It was based on what other people who disliked me claimed about me.
I’d love for him to point to any quote or post of mine on any instance that was actually ban-worthy.
His PTB trip seems more obvious every day. Between OP’s ban and several others we've been seeing lately, I think we’re going to see more of the same hypocrisy.
Rimu Salazar is the real victim in this story!
I am so tired of these losers like Rimu who can't accept the politics of average people have evolved past them and so they claw at these truly pathetic methods of attempting to silence and manipulate people.
It is disgusting and it underlines how toxic and extreme self proclaimed "moderates" or "centrists" can be.
I am a "radical leftist" but I will never resort to these kinds of underhanded and sad tactics undertaken by someone who is clearly lashing out from a perceived loss of power and status.
I aim to convince people of my points, not blatantingly manipulate and micromanage what people can see so they adopt my world views based on faulty premises.
Shame on you Rimu, you sad, toxic troll living under a bridge.
Look at how heavily piefed.social censors this topic in their search screen.
It's also interesting to see one of the other admins/mods being the one to post rimus blog post, but then rimu just being in the thread using it as his response in same thread
hmmm
We take your cat wife and turn your city to ash in an hour
I'd love to know what my credit score is on Piefed. Is there a way to find out?
Check your profile on a piefed server.
He will claim that he is just saving server resources.
What a loser
The irony, in all of this, is that feddit was born because the Lemmy authors were too left wing for done people.
I never followed that discussion too closely, but I doubt things ever went that far with them.
Being a tankie is hardly left wing, it's cosplaying as a leftist while being a fascist in actuality.
PTB! He just keeps making bad decisions. I don't think he's gonna change.
Who is Rimu?
Developer of PieFed
Oooh okay, they did what now?
Bring an open source software dev that's happy to pretend to be obvious to how open source works
At this point I just want to move to friendica the threadiverse is run by too many freaks.
