    Trenches. Beaumont-Hamel was part of the Battle of the Somme. Beaumont-Hamel was also the place where a large amount of Newfoundlanders, people from the island of Newfoundland (where I’m from), died. 780 men went into that battle. The next morning, 68 were available for role call.

    The only thing I’ve ever said to him was pushing back against his criticism with screenshots of evidence that proved him wrong.

    He is not removing people for a coordinated harassment campaign. He is removing people to silence dissent and exert a stranglehold on his platform and his own ego.

    PTB is, quite literally, not strong enough. He is an active danger to the entire fediverse as a whole. He is dragging down credibility of any instance that runs Piefed and has proven that not only is he a manchild incapable of regulating his own emotions and ego.

    Piefed has become Chernobyl levels of radioactive. You can keep running a Piefed instance but you better expect questions on why you’re helping to further this narcissistic psychopaths control and influence.

    It’s also kind of strange that Iso@lemy.lol is on that list. They’re a former admin of lemy.lol who had beef with Rimu but Rimu defederated from lemy.lol a while ago over their logo. The fact that he’s banning that user in amongst all the others kind of proves that this is a personal hitlist and not harassment. Otherwise, why are you banning a user that you’ve defederated from?


  • I don’t know. But it’s gotten to the point that I don’t trust any piefed instances anymore at all. Rimu pushed a piece of code into Piefed a few days ago specifically to silence criticism against him and to silently delete/block posts on Piefed. He is exerting such an extreme amount of control onto the entire platform itself that I cannot trust the platform itself.

    Every piefed instance, as far as I’m concerned at this point, comes with an enormous asterisk.
