Fun fact, Rimu takes after George Orwell and keeps lists of "undesirables:"

MODERATORS
There are zero hexbear admins on there. I feel ashamed. We have failed. One of the legs of the stankie triad has been broken.
Hexbear is fall.
Millions must post hog
Pretty sure that's more because Piefed.social is defederated from Hexbear.net, there are some powerful posters beyond the defed wall Rimu would probably happily add.
The great defed-firewall isn't designed to keep the bears in the cage. It's designed to keep us out of your cage. 
Pre-emptively as a last resort
Although to be fair, defederation has been used by Hexbear to protect marginalized comrades from more dangerous instances, so this is both justified and still keeping bigots out.
We call those mosquito net firewalls. Those nasty little things carry nasty diseases we don't want to get transmitted among the community, and also even if they were clean of infectious matter, their nips itch and they annoyingly divebomb our ears all the time at night.
Yep, agreed, some instances would just raise the moderator workload incredible levels to stay federated.

Two years I've been posting communist propaganda straight from Bezos's mouth, what have I been doing wrong that I'm not on the list 😔
I'm not upset, just would've been nice to be recognized
We'll all get into the hall of fame eventually, comrade 🫡
i feel disappointed in myself, what am i doing im not on the list...
It's okay comrade, we'll all get there eventually lol.
In honesty, I think Rimu just scans certain threads and adds up everyone that doesn't support them. If Rimu actually spent time checking everyone's account, way more people would be banned as even comrade @Edie@lemmy.ml is on the list despite being one of the least confrontational people I've seen on the fediverse.

This user does not exist.
Omfg piefed. When you are logged in you can see banned people, when you are not you get a blank page with "not found."
Amazing web design.
Doesn't even have a proper 404 view, but yeah "Lemmy's development is too slow"
It's easy to go fast when you don't care about anything but new features.

Rimu's secretly just a massive Orwell fan, that's why they are implementing social credit scores, erasing people, etc. it's all one big reference /s

Does anyone have the list of extremely cool and sexy posters?
I'm also deleted from piefed.social but not special enough for the list. I never coordinated with anyone, I just meme what comes naturally!
To be fair, there's no evidence that any of us coordinated anything, it's just what Rimu personally believes.
acts in an extremely hypocritical and provocative way that naturally raises lots of questions from many people
noo why are they're coordinating attacks against me they need to be banned from everywhere 😭
Yea it's all self-inflicted.
I wouldn’t assume he believes what he says.
I also wouldn't assume that he doesn't believe it, I could believe either outcome equally. Nevertheless, it's how Rimu chose to present it, and how Rimu chose to present it is baseless.

I don't actually think that software is necessarily neutral, and that for this sort of thing to be successful in the current landscape it MUST be Marxists who make it. Take Bluesky, for example. Or OpenAI is perhaps a better example. Maybe this breaks some people out of the "Elon bad -> Dorsey good" cycle of analysis as to why lemmy exists and maybe leads them to question the use of the "tankie" perjorative in general.

oooh so sorry, but that's a meme. -12 piefed score, also your instance is now shadowbanned. Gotta deal with the consequences of your actions chief...
Tale as old as time...I've seen it so many times in my professional life and also in activism. Hell, I've done it.
Things look so easy from the outside. All the flaws seem like they can be fixed without much effort, why can't the people in charge see it? Then you rush in and try to do it yourself without an understanding of why things are the way they are and BAM you hit a wall. Suddenly things aren't so easy. Suddenly you can't fix all the mistakes. And you are making new ones.
I'm not saying people shouldn't try new things, but rushing in without trying to take some lessons from the existing systems without judgement is foolishness.
