    AI-assisted moderation in the fediverse is happening. Now what?

  • Please don't spread old mis-info

    I mean, you just did it. The OP post is not factually correct as he stated that it is at an instance level. It is not. It is at a moderator level.

    Please don’t spread old mis-info or at least back this up with actual links to the source-code (and if we are talking about the same thing, this was clearly debunked).

    Gotta say though, getting real tired of people telling me that I didn't understand conversations I was a part of. No. It was not 'debunked'. It was added under an opt-in toggle after everyone noticed it and called out his bullshit. You might be thinking of something else, but this is what I was talking about.

    Piefed is infected with Rimu's extreme opinionated garbage and he only backs down and puts them into a toggle after someone notices it. That's not the behavior of a developer that I find personally trustworthy. So when he's out here making a post that is outright false, claiming that instances are doing something that moderators are doing, I don't trust him. Not to mention the extremely long conversations I had with Mr Kaplan about how Piefed.world needed to be un-rimu'd in order to work as LW wanted it to.

  • Yep and it doesn't help that Rimu himself is a very questionable dude. He says he defederated from lemy.lol over their pepe frog logo but honestly I don't believe it is the reason/ He hates memes. He said as much to me himself. A while back, someone realized that piefed was hard coded to give negative reputation to certain people, regardless of what settings the admins had made. Piefed is built off of Rimu's opinions and he puts the majority there as an opt-out, not an opt-in. When I made a jokingly apology for all the memes I post, he said "It's not your fault that the lemmy devs didn't put guardrails in."

    If he's that opinionated about memes...

    Combine that with the fact that this post has literally no information other than "Trust me bro"? I don't trust Rimu as far as I can throw his garbage platform and I can't even throw the thing because its digital code. Hell, Mr. Kaplan even had to do a ton of un-fucking of Piefed to get piefed.world to work and was talking with me about it at the time. Just LITTERED with Rimu's stances.

    Not to mention that Rimu routinely comes in with preconcieved notions that others have to point out the bullshit of and he quietly then steps back from it or refuses to engage entirely and dismisses it out of hand.

    Like... the Lemmy devs suck, absolutely. But the only facet in which Rimu is better is he's not a transphobe.

    Edit: See below for screenshots. I'm tired of this shit. Yes. He's wildly opinionated.

    Edit 2: Lol this comment is not visible on piefed.social. Rimu out here screaming about fiefdoms and hidin things critical of him.

  • That user was banned from the instance, not from the community. You just admitted to banning them. So you just admitted to having admin level tools without having any of the accountability of an admin level account.

    Lemmy.world admins cannot be trusted if they're giving you access to that discord bot after you say stuff like this:

  • At this stage, after multiple notifications to the LW Admin team both here on their own communities and in private messages to Kaplan from me, it's clear that Serinus' behavior is not only acceptable but actively condoned and approved. Which really stands out to me when he's saying stuff like this:

    Due to nothing happening with Serinus, there is no other way to take this other than the accepted position of the LW Administration team. Which means that the LW Admin team is not just approving of bullying instances based on usercount, but is now actively partaking in it. My question is where is the line?

    How many users does it take for LW Admins to consider an instance valid?

    That's not even considering the fact that he removed comments for 'misinformation' that had screenshots to prove they were accurate. So not only are the LW admins condonining bullying of instances based off of usercount, but they're now also partaking in misinformation and suppression of proof.

  • These words mean that the topic under discussion in that screenshot is NOT the original defederation, but rather whether AN (&dbzer0) should be re-federated, which ended up happening.

    No, actually, it wasn't. The fact that you are trying to claim that you know the context of this conversation that you were not part of is staggering. You do not get to gaslight me, the person who was actually there, on what happened. Nor do you get to re-write the actuality of what occured. That is not what the discussion was actually referring to. It was, indeed, referring to what I originally claimed as I was the one who was there to see it.

    “in the end this is however not a decision i will be doing alone, nor was the defederation a decision that wasn’t supported by others, despite their misrepresentation of this being me taking total power to fuck over others

    My claim was that Kaplan did not talk to the admins of anarchist.nexus about this defederation and actually escalate this in an adult and mature way. That does nothing to claim otherwise. It was, indeed, a total power move to fuck over others. No one from any other instance was considered. No one was spoken to until after the defederation occured. How do I know? Because I was in the conversation.

    I was discussing whether the defederation had happened by MrKaplan entirely alone, vs. him consulting others, and I had indicated the word “evidence” meaning that the decision was made without consulting others.

    And you were the one who moved the goalpost there in the first place because my point was that anarchist.nexus was not considered all despite there being other admins on that instance. They were not talked to until after the defederation. See above for proof.

    Though that is precisely what you are accusing MrKaplan of - acting on emotion rather than logic?

    Correct.

    we can agree on that much, and the rest will have to wait until another day, as the decision to re-federate was already made. You’ve won: enjoy it:-D.

    I did not 'win'. No one 'won'. Kaplan did nothing. They backed down off of defederation temporarily but after they made a catastrophic error while still claiming that they are considering defederation.

    Its kind of shocking to me that you start all of this off by saying I should do more research and then try to tell me what happened in my own conversations and not point out the fact that defederation is still on the table. I'm done having this conversation with you.

  • Luminous was an admin at the time. Then, Luminous stepped down from being an admin. Then, as you mentioned, LW re-federated AN once more.

    And is still considering defederating with it again as the post states. You do not get to claim full refederation as that is not the situation we are in. You are downplaying the situation.

    If Luminous had merely been a mod, this could have been handled by blocking, but since they were an admin - at the time - it could only be handled by defederation.

    No. It could have been handled by speaking with the admins of the other instance and saying "This is a problem." Speech is always an option, especially before taking a nuclear one.

    I suppose you are calling MrKaplan a liar

    Correct.

    It seems his word against yours

    No, I literally just presented it in the original comment.

    With no evidence currently presented either way

    I literally presented evidence in the original comment. A screenshot with a message from Mr. Kaplan stating that they had no evidence for what was going on, only an odd feeling. Here is the screenshot again with the relevant information highlighted.

    What is your goal here on mispresenting reality so heavily?

  • Luminous acted as a user/moderator. Kaplan acted as an admin.

    You are not taking any of this into account. I'm not wasting my time with this because, I too, elborated on this elsewhere.

  • I think you should probably refresh the page and look at my comment again because it's full of screenshots that are listing that, yes, I do know what I'm talking about and that what Kaplan did is indeed based off of a feeling. Including using a screenshot from Kaplan themselves.

    Luminous did not start this witch hunt because Luminous acted as a moderator and not as an admin. Kaplan was the one who leapfrogged over speaking to any other admin and instantly went straight to defederation. Kaplan never told anyone else. Kaplan did not bring this up as problematic. Kaplan just instantly defederated. Something that, as this thread has been updated to show, they went ahead and undone because there was no justification for continue to defederate when the admin in question is gone.

    The situation is, infact, more dramatic than I original made it out to be. I did plenty of research. You're just sitting on a very old comment because the whole thing about me "not knowing what was going on" was edited out fucking hours ago.

  • What's really funny is the realization that I had. I keep forgetting that Kaplan is using the name of a character from a TV show.

    That character, a woman that uses the name Mr Kaplan for backstory reasons, ended up being written out (temporarily) after she went against the lead character (of which it aint me, I'm a random fuckin NPC in Season 1 Episode 2 in the background) and proceeded to not talk to him or anyone else and do what she thought was best. Unilaterally made a decision that managed to functionally destroy everything she was trying to protect, leaving her to desperately try and clean up the mess.

    Makes you think. Just hoping that this time Mr. Kaplan doesn't fake Liz's death.

  • I messaged Kaplan privately and Kaplan is seeing nothing but red. I updated my original comment to show some context. But Kaplan just went ham and instantly defederated because of a perceived sleight and has been going on a rampage against everyone since. Meanwhile there are serious discussions happening behind the scenes for other major instances to defederate from lemmy.world in response.

    Kaplan is threatening to nuke one instance and, in response, will manage to have lemmy.world effectively embargoed to death.

  • Then why don't you take your own advice?

    If you aren't going to provide any references on the behavior of dbzer0 administration and the reason for considering defederation with them (For the actions of a user of another instance who is no longer a moderator) then just say so instead of beating around the bush.
