Please tell me you aren’t using a carbon footprint argument, you know. The ones Oil companies use to blame us, a population of people for climate change, instead of take action against them, and their corporate buddies. Who are a single large contributor, if not the entire problem in and of itself.

Even though we’re probably very different in our beliefs I would agree that I don’t want things using GPU without my consent. But I don’t agree in justifying it or hatred of AI with carbon footprint rhetoric created by the companies who created this problem in the first place.

I know, he did it to me too. He’s angry that I called him a Zionist. Which I will continue to do so because it’s true. He sticks up for Samskara, a known Hasbara troll.

He’s also bullying our admins for banning people that deserve to be banned, literally sticking up for Samskara. Which makes it even more ironic that he’s upset I called him (and Skavau) Zionists when he’s sticking up for Samskara of all people!

The ironic thing is that people claim the Lemmy devs will do that to Lemmy. And here it’s Rimu doing it with Piefed.

That’s worthy of a meme in and of itself.

You forgot the /s. Some less intelligent people might mistake you for being serious.

I don’t agree, he’s had a history of being weirdly controlling and opinionated. Piefed’s codebase is a testament to that. @[email protected] already pointed out one such malicious change Rimu put in and then decided to add a toggle to when he got backlash for it. He did the thing where meme communities were marked low quality long before this recent drama ark of his.

I don’t think so, then again he hasn’t been okay for a while. Him making poor descisions about piefed and deleting users who are critical of him aren’t a new thing. They’re par for the course. People have criticized piefed for this for a while, but they’ve been dismissed as tankies or reactionaries. I admit I used to dismiss them as well. Not anymore though.

Maybe we need a meanwhile on piefed community to talk about drama related to Rimu’s flinging of mud and insults, as well as the many additions to piefed’s code which make it a much worse platform. It doesn’t get talked about much except in comment chains and Rimu controls most communities about piefed itself. So a community beyond his reach would probably be good.

Not sure about ancap, I think he’s just a plain old liberal, maybe a neoliberal.

That’s what he does when he doesn’t have anything he can say against you.

Well I got doxxed again today. So just as terrible as it could. I’m not sure what I’m going to do at this point.

To be honest it was easier to get them to understand that I’m a witch than it was to understand I’m NonBinary. Though that’s probably because I still present very feminine and in many ways I still am a woman. I just explained it to them and continued to correct them when they got my pronouns wrong, and eventually they got it.

I would suggest being direct and just telling him, also presenting however you prefer to present can help. If you present differently than before.
