Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
Rimu
What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
Kicking from all Matrix PieFed rooms
Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rimu has been manufacturing non-stop drama for weeks. He ignores multiple offers from multiple parties to de-escalate, and now he bans someone for trying to promote non-discriminatory language. He has also now cut off a PieFed admin from any and all support and ability to contribute to the software.
Oh and the real kicker ? Rimu did all this after his big grand post about how he is stepping back from drama and hiding away from users.
Yup, and probably a lot less engineering time too since those who came across each one knew the details of what they were working on, and what the implications of the change would be. Vs what I had to do which was learn about each one, make sure I wasn’t destroying something, making sure no one else depended on, repeat times like 30.
Plus I didn’t even have to justify the time involved either, since there was already a stakeholder for whatever changes needed to be made, it just went under the same hours as part of the required changes based on current standards.
Obviously community driven open source is a bit different (our code is open but still driven by business activity, so it didn’t really come up otherwise except in rare scenarios), no need to justify hours or anything, so its even easier.
