Well if I’m wrong about how that list worked then I apologize but Rimu also supposedly took code from the fork and failed to attribute it until he was called out about that too. It wasn’t only the blocking thing that upset me, it was also the code misappropriation and the childish ban spree.
If you talk about the matrix screenshot, there is this line from Rimu : “imagine that i do a post about lemmy blabla…”. This line refers to a post from Mia where she did an announcement and Rimu wasn’t happy about it. He considered it was Piefed appropriation.
It was also part of the conflict along false accusation of piefed being anti-trans. We did ask blahaj what feature would they like, added trans flag…
The main problem with Rimu is its behaviour that led to its ban spree. Most of people on Matrix won’t say anything about it, they know but they remain quiet and stay here because they use piefed and support it.
It wasn’t the first time. At the beggining of Piefed (2 year ago) Rimu banned Rikudo’s instance. Because Rikudo instance at that time suffered from spam. Rikudo wasn’t happy about the defed and wrote something on Piefed on fediseer.
So I reached Rikudo and did the mediation and they worked together. I tried with Ada/Pugjesus. Mia/Rimu…
When there was the shitstorm about the local IA used for moderation by dbz0, i really hoped that the explanation from dbzer0 would calm things down. I hoped that Rimu would recognize that he was wrong about its analysis. And then maybe they would continue together.
For me, we lost plenty contributors and people.
You have also to take into account mysticmushroom ban spree for zionism and how dbzer0 reacted.
And then there are people that perpetue fedidrama on yptb or even here, on a post where we should support the fediverse. That was my message that everyone missed on yptb.
If we want to continue, we have to move on. It doesn’t erase the past, but recalling those events, behaviour impact the relationship we have between each other.
It polarizes our relationship, and may make newcomers leave. So i think we have to move on and support what we love.
(I’m a different person than who you were responding to earlier)
Those other things that you mention here are validated, however the “hard-coded blocklist” was demonstrably disproven. I suggest removing it from your comment because it only complicates the matter to mix in lies with the truth. There are a bunch of valid reasons to criticize PieFed over, we don’t need to spread misinformation muddying the issues.
You aren’t wrong, it’s gone through many itterations from the initial block. Even now it’s still the initial config hidden to users. Hell Grail is even saying it’s still there but only idiots would keep it on. (ironic considering it’s Rimu’s default and piefed.socials setup)
