A random awful.systems user posted the recent disinfo about the FAF using LLMs for moderation. I went in and tried to clarify the situation, and I admit I got kinda upset when they kept ignoring my statements in order to be snarky. Eventually I believed we reached an understanding but I was sadly mistaken which I should have imagine as awful.systems residents kept downvoting all my replies.
As I finished writing a post to explain our official instance policy, I noticed they just jumped to defederation anyway, the reason being…the same disinfo I just went through a lot of effort to debunk. They just called my debunking of the disinfo as “DARVO” which is just disgusting trivialization of harasser behaviour by @dgerard, but I digress.
Anyway I finished my post and once I posted it in our instance, I thought they would at least allow me simply to link to it to provide what we actually believe.
Lol, nope, instant delete and ban
Here’s their charming admin casually admitting that even though we explicitly told them this is not what we’re doing, they just going to disbelieve and make up their own headcanon.
Anyway, I shouldn’t be surprised, dgerard has been known to spread disinfo, so this is just more of the same.
Lemmy continues to make a joke of itself by having the least well adjusted people ever running the infrastructure 🙃
My wife literally stopped me, and forced me to post this.
hey now, I run infrastructure and I’m…
oh
What’s the significance of using a Jo-Jo reference for this?
If no one will take you, if your idea of fun doesn’t mesh with more popular ideas, self hosting is the only option
What the sweaty hell is happening to our crusty little nook of the fediverse? Did Rimu suffer a TBI or get way into something mind altering?
PTB all the way down, baby.
Rimu is breaking the Fediverse. We had a good thing going for a few years.
Just amazed this is what did it not the previous string of piefed breaking activepub.
I think he was always like this, just better at hiding it, or suppressing information about it. People started to notice and they called out the codebase changes and that’s when everything spiraled.
And nothing was lost.
Good riddance to a troll instance.
I have heard that awful.systems users are rude.
They regularly confuse rudeness with righteousness.
The instance is an excuse for one writer and his socks to generate publicity.
There may be a couple other actual humans. Maybe.The only community I regularly enjoyed from there was Tech Takes but tech takes aren’t exactly something we’re starved for elsewhere in the Lemmyverse lol
I was proudly banned from that instance, back before it was cool.
heavens forfend. pass the smelling salts
Their entire instance is dedicated to snark and whining about shit nobody cares about. I’m not sure why anyone is federated with them at all. They serve zero purpose.
looks like they wanted to defed for a long time and were looking for a convenient excuse, I wouldn’t put too much blame on Rimu for that.
PTB, this seems like a troll instance. Nothing much of value was lost. Kind of feel like we should mutually defederate from them anyway in case they decide to reverse it later to start more shit.
PTB, what a prick.
PTB.
I think the last screenshot says it all.
I’ve never heard of these people, but they sound like idiots. for their information, there is a repo. there’s also screenshots showing my models as well, but if they want to see them they’re gonna have to kiss my ass because I don’t fuck with self righteous dickwads.
Yeah I suspect it’s an instance primarily for the purpose of trolling.
Fuk these clowns.
It’s one guy and his fanboys. They make a sport of being jerks.
And sucking off their head bozo. They really like to do that.I don’t particularly believe you guys either, for what my opinion is worth.
That’s just your own biases coming through
Well … some healthy disbelief seems apropos here.
If you are in a fight with Awful Systems over who can be the most awful, they fukin win. Every time.
But your name in particular comes up in mod complaints quite a bit. There might be a reason for that. I mean, look how you responded to this person. Seems like a debatable point, at very least.I think I was quite polite to someone calling us liars to our face
Sure. You’re a polarizing figure.
We don’t cross paths much. Mostly I just see people complaining about you.I guess that says something about the groups/places you’re in. Also make sure you’re not confusing me with my instance. Sadly a ton of people say
db0when they mean the instance lemmy.dbzer0.comYa. I know the difference between your nic and your instance.
It doesn’t say much, really. Lemmy isn’t that big. I avoid politics if I can, but its not always possible.
YDI
Using LLMs as part of moderation and then downplaying it is shady as hell.
Not upplaying != downplaying it.
Honestly kind of think null should be permabanned. Nothing they’ve ever contributed has been in good faith and I have a feeling they will continue to troll in the future as the rest of this unfolds. Just my opinion.
Agreed, nothing good has come from them at all.
It’s not downplaying to give facts and state the correct history of actions.
null is a troll, they’ve been engaging in bad faith to create more discord ever since the drama around @rimu@piefed.social started. Their replies in the thread about a mod on !fediverse@piefed.social locking comment chains to stop discussion are all petty trolling attempts.
I do find it hilarious that he complained about me reporting him for breaking rules, and he was banned for “mass reporting comments”. Once again, pure hypocrisy from the man.
I once got the dude so tilted he mass downvoted my account. And then recently got him so angry he stalked my account for days for when I talked about his weird actions to me.
I don’t even think of him until he shows up.
