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

        I also wouldn’t assume that he doesn’t believe it, I could believe either outcome equally. Nevertheless, it’s how Rimu chose to present it, and how Rimu chose to present it is baseless.

      Yeah I know what it is like to get targeted by people on lemmy like Sunshine but also I never tried to embrace, extend and extinguish lemmy while building tools to silence people. I just had opinions on an instance I paid for and ran.

      Oh lordy, ever have one of those moments when you know you’re about to do something dumb, but do it anyway? Well, I would ask that you folks stop for a moment, and observe this situation from an outsider’s perspective. From where I sit, this very thread right here looks like a harassment campaign.

          Look at the other replies I’ve received, and think about how people outside of your online community might feel being on the receiving end.

            I’m outside this community. I mostly engage on different platforms but check in here sometimes to see what’s going on. I read this thread, and I looked at the replies you received and thought about how I might feel being on the receiving end.

            I realized that everything everyone said to you was pretty accurate and fully understandable given the way you came in here and what you were saying. If I were on the receiving end, honestly I would feel ashamed for being such a public chucklefuck and nuisance to have gotten that well deserved excoriation, but then I’d do some self crit and resolve not to be such a twit in the future. Then I’d feel a bit better having learned from my foolishness.

            Something tells me that’s not what you’re going to do though. You’re going to pretend you were the innocent victim of a bunch of meanies who were mean to you out of nowhere and nothing you said or did could have been good reason for how mean those meanies were. Am I correct? Or are you going to do the right thing and self crit?

            Look at the way Rimu is treating people, and think about how people within that community might feel being on the receiving end.

              Ah, so we judge actions not by their merit, but by who performs them? Or, put another way, if you wrestle a pig, you both get muddy.

                Wtf are you even talking about you nonsensical asshat? u/Cowbee specifically said: “Look at the way Rimu is treating people.” That is judging a person by their behavior towards others, not by who the person happens to be. If you want to be a nerd and call that “merit” then do that, but don’t make up lies and then use analogies that don’t apply in any way to anything that’s happening here. Really are you just pulling random shit that maybe you heard people more thoughtful and aware than yourself say once, and think you can just toss those same phrases out whenever you want to sound like you understand what’s happening? Because I hate to have to inform you, that’s not how it works.

                I think it’s pretty standard for people to complain when someone unilaterally abuses their position to ban a bunch of people that criticized them for cracking down on leftists.
