Commentary

He posted it at about 16:26 WIB on 13 November 2026, in the “Tech Threads” community.

  • Removed from a group, then named in public. The only thing Rahmat shows Purnaresa Yuliartanto doing is removing him from the Kiro User Group Indonesia WhatsApp community and its “General” group at 12:45. For that he calls him “the Kicker” (the poster names him as an AWS Senior Solutions Architect) and asks whether he is a “hypocrite” with “double standards”.
  • What he posted in the group. Rahmat does not disclose what he had posted in the group that led to his removal; he shows only the removal notices. We suspect he was removed for disturbing the group, as he usually does: he was earlier removed from another community group for flooding and spamming, and in 2023 AWS security took back his badge and escorted him out of AWS Cloud Day, a removal he himself expected to be explained as his having “disturbed order” and did not deny.
  • Using his award against him. The AI poster puts Purnaresa’s photo and staff badge next to his “AWS All-Star Awards, Insist on the Highest Standards” win and turns it into “All-Kick Star”.
  • Tagging his employer. He tags Amazon Web Services, Amazon and Jeff Bezos, and calls on AWS Indonesia’s country manager Anthony Amni, whom he has repeatedly accused over his own dismissal, to “look at this”. He also drags in Rudi Suryadi, describing Purnaresa as “his former subordinate”, over a group moderation decision that has nothing to do with either of them.
