I went to check the trailer and it didn’t look anything like DoD, it looked like every other fantasy Roguelike ever

I really liked DoD, as well as their humor and the way they designed their skills. I am really sad nobody followed a similar format, and that they original developer shat the bed.

I was mostly addressing the point that Rimu could have worked with lemmy. Not everyone wants to learn and work with Rust.

Entirely unsurprising. When you wonder why someone would develop an alternative to Lemmy, rather than work within it, and then you see Rimu’s deplorable views and attitudes towards leftists, it’s clear:

Honestly that’s not necessary. I can absolutely see someone wanting to work with Python instead of Rust.

Well it’s the first time a software flagship instance does it, so…

Lol he really went ahead and silenced every instance to the left of kissinger didn’t he?

I actually like having a second order of downgrading an instance over pure defederation. For example it would be really cool to mark instances from which to accept downvotes. Etc

That line is actually a quote from “Red” Emma Goldman.

Ah that wasn’t there when I deployed it.

I’ve rarely seen a crashout so spectacular. Piefed going from the new darling to pariah software in the blink of an eye.

Can you imagine the shitstorm MOG would have raised if the same blocklist was hardcoded in lemmy?

Also:

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.

We have bent over backwards to de-escalate the situation, both with L.W. and with Rimu. Our admins have stepped down. People changed their usernames. Our admins overruled our mods. Literally creating tension within our instance to maintain relations with the larger fediverse. On the other hand, rimu’s deliberate disinfo is still up to this day, without any statements from our team, or correction to their blatant lies. They’ve even blocked people calling them out, so piefed users can’t see this criticism. So don’t try to “both sides” me.

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

When he’s being hypocritical AF about people “could have just asked”, then yes I think I will.

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.

Talk about underplaying the situation…

Rimu spread purposeful disinfo. He never “just asked”. He ignored comments from our admins explicitly telling him he’s wrong, because it went against his narrative. Was purposefully uncharitable so he could spin it as badly as possible. Crossposted to Mastodon in an attempt to initiate a pile-on. I could go on…

You could have just asked, though.

Oh they could have asked, could they? Like you asked before spreading disinfo about our instance using GenAI for moderation?

What do you mean? Where does it do it’s own detection?

Lol rimu blocked me because I was countering his bullshit a bit too much?

What is this shady shit?

motherfucker, if you try to play pretend as an investigative journalist, you’re supposed to ask for an official statement on your final text. In your case you had even had an earlier reply which partially addressed some of your points, didn’t ask for any clarifications and then anyway decided not to include even that reply because it conflicted with the narrative in your hit piece. This is so egregious it’s leaving me speechless!

We have comms around open-weight and open sourced GenAI tech on our instance. You can start on !stable_diffusion@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I’m just speaking from experience. This is how things play out in these situations.

I.e. “I just saw a modlog entry, jumped to conclusions, didn’t ask for clarification, didn’t speak to anyone from that instance, jumped straight into making a drama post”
