Yes, life has been busy lately, it’s nice to be back here 😄

You’re welcome, glad you enjoy it!

Thank you, you too!

Very cool, bien joué ha ha

Balance is important. I’m thinking about creating a seperate account and blocking all the political communities and filtering by keywords so I can just be here for hobbies and folks chatting when I want that

That’s what I do, having two accounts definitely help!

The list is pinned on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca !

Nice to see that Anarchist.nexus moved!

The “obvious reasons” come from the drama I tried to summarize in this comment: https://lemmy.ml/post/47022286/25575766

If we go down to the core of the issue, there’s a fundamental disagreement between some instances on a niche use case: can the modlog be used for permanent slander, without giving people the option to reply?

Dbzer0, quokk.au and anarchist.nexus instance admins didn’t see the value in allowing admins to act on other instances modlogs. Rimu and other people in the Piefed staff were interested in this, hence the new feature regarding the modlog.

There was some additional tension between Quokk.au admins and Rimu on the way he handled the AI moderation disclosure, leading to a quokk.au admin leaving the channel.

Now remember that all of this only affects Piefed.social. I’ve been a Piefed.zip user for 11 months now, and that’s the instance I recommend to everyone. Even from a federation perspective, Piefed.zip doesn’t defederate from for instance hexbear or lemmygrad (but the Piefed instance blocking is an actual blocking compared to Lemmy’s incomplete one).

Switching between Piefed instances is as easy as it can be.

Some people will see these decisions for Piefed.social and the new Piefed feature as “drama”, but they seem to be a way to deal with what triggered the drama in the first place (slander in modlogs)

Exciting!

It would be nice if crossposting allowed people from both instance to see and answer in the same message.

Piefed does this.

https://fedinsfw.app/ is there for you

So at the end of the day, you seem to be calling someone a “bit of a twat” based on policy decisions. Someone who’s donated loads of his personal time, effort and brainwaves to a community project for loads of others to enjoy. Can’t say that sounds particularly cool to me, mate.

Good summary

There’s this comment from 1 hour ago: https://piefed.social/post/2035211#comment_11215538

In this specific case, even the dbzer0 admin agreed it was undeserved:

https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/modlog?userId=7015938

Which other removals from Piefed.social are you referring to?

Is that supposed to make it better?

Rimu is not a Zionist. It’s this wrong accusation that escalated the tensions. I’ll clarify my comment.

Those removal happened in the context of a mod calling Rimu a zionist (which he’s not)

It didn’t happen out of nowhere.

Others are doing the same thing. This isn’t “weird” or bad judgment. I don’t like Kaplan but they did nothing wrong here.

What I’m saying is that even though admins know there were some opinions in the software, they still started Piefed instances. And that’s in a world where Lemmy exists.

In other words, every instance admins assesses whether the additional Piefed features make it worth it to accept the opinionated aspect of the software.

That’s the main value of Piefed here, and that’s why so many people prefer it compared to Lemmy. All the features people wanted, be it users, mods, admins, Rimu delivered them, and fast.

They’re still doing the bad thing.

Doing something, even imperfectly, but listening to the users, still seem valuable to a lot of people. Some people obviously dislike it a lot, and expect the software to be written be a perfect person, but the devs behind Lemmy, Piefed and Mbin all have their flaws.
