Rimu recently started a new rant thread. I copied the response of the person they had targeted and in less than a minute Rimu had deleted the comment.
This is the comment Rimu did not want people being able to see: https://feddit.uk/post/53824748/26875911
This is the thread I shared it on: https://feddit.uk/post/53824747
He showed up to blahaj asking for input on how to implement pronouns into piefed. Every interaction I’ve had with him has been respectful. I don’t know what you’re on about.
Nutomic is banned from blahaj for transphobia. Rimu is not. There are good reasons to criticize Rimu, but being disrespectful of the trans community isn’t one of them.
Because the adding pronouns to piefed has beeb their (rimu) and their defenders reason rimu can’t be a terrible person as they do shit like this and when they began to attack other instances. To the point it was just thrown out while rimu was attacking others and uses nutomic in the same exact way.

Including on of the piefed social mods doing the exact same line do defend rimu.

This is also completely separate from rimus attacks on anyone they feel isn’t using social media correctly, those rimu feels isn’t smart enough to understand rimus piefed code and anyone who dares point out flaws or issues in rimus logic.
And the fact you thought simply saying they are and and isn’t deserving respect is an attack on the Trans community is extremely insulting
I was speaking from personal experience as a trans person. Him asking for input on pronouns is the one time I personally interacted with him. It hurts learning that was a cynical ploy, though not unexpected from what I have learned of him since.
Rimu is a bad person, and the fact that his personal views are implemented in his software is the reason I don’t use piefed. The fact that the Lemmy devs keep a distance between those things and the software itself is why I use Lemmy despite its development team.
Everyone, even bad people deserve basic human decency. Misgendering is more of an attack on the trans community than anything you have linked to so far. If you have more to say on Rimu I’m happy to hear it as long as you don’t continue to insult me, a trans person, by deliberately misgendering people when talking to me.
Misgendering someone because you dislike them is an indictment of your character, not theirs.
