  • 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)

    Are we supposed to bring back the whole history every time Rimu comments anywhere?

    • an anarchist.nexus admin calls for murder of Zionists in their username
    • a LW admin and Rimu gets qualified as Zionists in dbzer0 community modlogs
    • LW defederates anarchist.nexus
    • Rimu bans that admin
    • that anarchist.nexus admin changes their username and steps down as admin
    • LW refederates anarchist.nexus
    • Rimu asks the dbzer0 staff to act on the modlog calling him a Zionist, no action is taken, the dbzer0 staff advices him to ignore that
    • Rimu discovers that a dbzer0 mod has been using a LLM for moderation. That mod has been somehow pretending to use OpenAI to upset the !fuckai crowd, actually it was a local freeware model. He posts about it.
    • a dbzer0 admin reverts the ban calling Rimu a Zionist after I asked
    • Rimu is still upset, doesn’t take the previous action into account and keeps the post about LLM moderation up
    • You bring it up here

    Now, listen, db0: we’ve discussed a lot in the past, you know I like what you do, I support you and your instance most of the time. But that’s also true for Rimu and Piefed. I think it’s pointless to try to count points and see who was wrong when by how much. From my perspective, there were issues from all sides during that whole story.

    Bringing it up every time anyone involved comments somewhere doesn’t seem relevant, and will just start another round of “you were wrong”, “I was wrong because you were wrong” etc. It can be endless, and most of the people are tired of that whole story.

    Take care.
