We are defederating awful.systems from:

because it’s extremely anarchist to use the chatbot as your moderator (no no it’s totally human in the loop) and post corporate DARVO-filled excuses when caught.

see also [1] and [2]

This is a last straw after a string of dubious and exhausting behaviour.

If you’re an awful.systems user and you post to communities on those instances, you will need to create an account on one of them.

    after scrolling through a couple days and accounts on the extended db0verse it’s extremely hard not to come to the conclusion that it’s a haven for people who think Rimu specifically is some kind of combination antichrist/lolcow who is personally here to destroy all of mastodon, lemmy, and the concept of federation itself. some choice extracts from the very fine people over there:

    [Rimu] is an active danger to the entire fediverse as a whole. […] you better expect questions on why you’re helping to further this narcissistic psychopath['s] control and influence. […from that user’s bio:] Rimu is weaponizing the fediverse against you.

    very reasonable and normal account to have on your instance

    Rimu is breaking the Fediverse. We had a good thing going for a few years.

    that’s right, he’s personally deleting every post on the internet forever

    Hi. Admin of Lemy.lol here. […] When I joined the Lemy.lol team, I was informed that Rimu had pre-emptively defederated from us sometime ago due to our logo. Pepe the frog. [… He’s] not merely a [power-tripping bastard], but a dangerous one.

    fucking lol it’s these chuds again

    Did Rimu suffer a TBI or get way into something mind altering?.

    that last one is on a thread completely detached from Rimu, by the way. Rimu possesses a kind of hyperagency, capable of superconvincing everyone of everything which is why any and all defederation due to AI slop is actually secretly his fault

    so yeah, good riddance

      I too was drawn with a morbid fascination to see what they were saying… db0 tried labeling all of awful.systems as dgerard’s collection of sockpuppets acting as his PR machine with maybe a few other humans. …I feel like I’m not living up to the hype, I’m not generating nearly enough PR for dgerard! Also, labeling us as a bunch of trolls. Which yes, one of our is literally called sneerclub, but since we don’t actually go onto lesswrong (or other rat communities) to stir up shit (we can find plenty pre-stirred) I don’t think trolls actually fits as a label.

        Much like the Clock People in Even Cowgirls Get the Blues deliberately invented one ritual into which they could channel all their compulsions toward ritual, SneerClub is the place within which we can quarantine all our pettiness and have it manifest in an appropriate manner, i.e., reading Yudkowsky’s posts in the voice of Augustus St. Cloud from Venture Bros.
