And I wouldn't have gotten into a pointless fight if Rimu didn't randomly pick one by saying that simple criticism was "coordinated harassment". But you do you. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Cool. I am not making demands of the developer. I'm just saying that his behavior is problematic as hell. Honestly, so is yours if you're going to repeatedly dodge the point being made. Problematic behavior doesn't get to be dismissed just because its open source. People are allowed to criticise something even if it is open source. That defense is worthless.

Invalid comparison. Rimu is not a simple admin, he is a dev of the leading alternate competitor to Lemmy and is personally hardcoding his bias into the project itself.

You want to try that again but with a more accurate comparison?

With how Rimu has been behaving recently, I wouldn't be surprised if he just started screaming that the vulnerability doesn't exist if you brought him up to him privately. He doesn't listen to anyone but himself and pressure on his ego. Reasonable admins get reasonable responses. Tyrants can cry about it.

Brother, Rimu is an enemy of the fediverse. Why? Because he re-created reddit. He basically reinvented shadow banning, controls the narrative of his instance, actively keeps spreading misinformation about other instances and users, will actively suppress certain instances using his platform and lashes out against criticism like a petty tyrant.

I'm tired of this nonsense that "We're all here to leave reddit!" Yes. We are here to leave reddit. So stop giving Spez 2.0 a pass.

Rimu is. The rest of them are either tacking onto his coattails because they believe they'll also gain some amount of control, believe (naively) that they can control him or are buying into his bullshit as the single irrefutable source.

I've got no other explanation for why he's banning users that he has already defederated from. The only way he could be coralling that list is if he's looking at stuff from another instance and attempting to control the narrative for other admins.
