I assume most people in this community are “on the left”. Raise your hand if you haven’t been attacked by Rimu!
I haven’t. Dude overreacts sometimes, but a lot of people he banned legitimately deserved it. Mia is a mixed bag. It sucks she just randomly accused him of being anti-trans and anti-leftist with no evidence whatsoever, but outside of that, Mia didnt need to be banned.
Is there a post or a comment breaking down that ban? I know of nothing involving Rimu except that post about dbzer0’s AI use in moderation.
From what I saw and read: Mia requested 'reply_is_stupid" be changed to “reply_is_loweffort”, alluding the term ‘stupid’ is problematic and considered ableist. Rimu responded by saying he put pronouns in Piefed so he can’t be a transphobe and then kicked her.
That was mostly the interaction. If you consider Rimu actions, it’s either berift of logic, or it seems as though Rimu equated ableism and mental disability to pronouns and being trans.
I prefer the illogical interpretation. It’s more in line with Rimu crashing out lately from what I assume is extended burnout.

Is there no screenshot of the actual exchange? From what I see, the story is from Diva, who is a moderator of Hexbear’s Slop, thus not a reliable narrator.
It was on the piefed admin channel on Matrix
The end of the second paragraph literally makes no logical sense but it’s not like anyone is supposed to red all this shit anyways.
TL;DR
Looks like bullshit, smells like bullshit, sounds like bullshit, must be bullshit.
