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...

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

List of people on Rimu's hit list

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I'm so insulted by not being on that list!

[–] housedogpartyfavor@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 days ago

new life goal

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Seems people that post more than comment weren't on the list, or maybe I am not familiar enough with the others.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I guess to be fair I never actually posted anything on piefed, I just called him out when he came to troll on lemmy.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I didn't either, lol. Just @'d a certain "history major" social fascist from a Lemmy.ml thread, debunking claims about the 1930s soviet famine.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

lmao that's definitely a bannable offence

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

For the devout anti-communist Rimu? Absolutely. Here's the MOG thread discussing it.

CW: Ableism, misgendering

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

these people just can't help tell on themselves

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 days ago

Yep it's abundantly clear.

[–] codexarcanum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Haha wow, I can't believe I made the list for calling him an asshole that time. I was wondering why there was so much less crap on my feed lately.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 days ago

To be fair, being banned does not mean you do not see it, just that they do not see you.

You'll get there!

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 55 points 3 days ago (13 children)

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

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 40 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 44 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The great defed-firewall isn't designed to keep the bears in the cage. It's designed to keep us out of your cage. hexbear-shining

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 35 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 28 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 30 points 3 days ago

We'll all get into the hall of fame eventually, comrade 🫡

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 35 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Does anyone have the list of extremely cool and sexy posters?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 31 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I think it's the same list 😎

i feel disappointed in myself, what am i doing im not on the list...

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 34 points 3 days ago (22 children)

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.

What the hell! How am I not on this list! Unforgivable.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 17 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Gotta grind those points up!

i'm somehow disappointed that i didn't make the list. lol

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 24 points 3 days ago

We'll all get there one day lol

[–] hamid@crazypeople.online 32 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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!

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 36 points 4 days ago (33 children)

To be fair, there's no evidence that any of us coordinated anything, it's just what Rimu personally believes.

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.

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.

This is somewhat relatable: I'm building a dating app without blackjack and hookers. Well, at least without the blackjack.

Not gonna lie, it's not a weekend project! And that's before even considering the eventual launch and marketing.
