A lot of Hexbear users are like this unfortunately. It’s why they are defederated by so many servers in the fediverse.

I’d argue that the Fuck_AI crowd who slanders and also sexually harasses people are helping them. I hate this big tech companies just as much as they do. I’m not going to sexually harass someone I think is using their service though.

It’s worse than that. They’re not just pretending about their abilities for clout. They’re actively following their emotions and attacking people they don’t like with AI accusations or just plain old harassment. I’ve been sexually harassed by these assholes.

I know, he did it to me too. He’s angry that I called him a Zionist. Which I will continue to do so because it’s true. He sticks up for Samskara, a known Hasbara troll.

He’s also bullying our admins for banning people that deserve to be banned, literally sticking up for Samskara. Which makes it even more ironic that he’s upset I called him (and Skavau) Zionists when he’s sticking up for Samskara of all people!

The ironic thing is that people claim the Lemmy devs will do that to Lemmy. And here it’s Rimu doing it with Piefed.

That’s worthy of a meme in and of itself.

You forgot the /s. Some less intelligent people might mistake you for being serious.

I don’t agree, he’s had a history of being weirdly controlling and opinionated. Piefed’s codebase is a testament to that. @Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com already pointed out one such malicious change Rimu put in and then decided to add a toggle to when he got backlash for it. He did the thing where meme communities were marked low quality long before this recent drama ark of his.

Maybe we need a meanwhile on piefed community to talk about drama related to Rimu’s flinging of mud and insults, as well as the many additions to piefed’s code which make it a much worse platform. It doesn’t get talked about much except in comment chains and Rimu controls most communities about piefed itself. So a community beyond his reach would probably be good.
