They obviously have mental problems and it would be sad if there wasn’t the DDOS, which is just infuriating.
I give them one point though:
harassing messages, death threats, and threats of doxxing
We all know the internet can be a harsh place, but this is never okay, no matter against whom. They can fuck of, we can make fun of them, but harassing someone personally and threatening them is just wrong.
But, given all the other behaviours, what’s to say the “harassing messages, death threats, and threats of doxxing” even happened? Could just as easily be crocodile tears.
Yup. Obviously that person is insanely thin skinned and tried to deceive people before which has lead to all this drama in the first place. Shitty behavior if it happened but can we be sure it actually did?
Because the backlash from the community sure might look like senseless bullying to the receiver if you lack any self awareness and refuse to take responsibility for your actions.
For all we know they might just blow this out of proportion. They‘re known to overreact after all.
I call BS. They never showed any death threats or doxxing, but they did show they were incapable of mature behavior.
Dont spare sympathy for a crybaby liar.
Nah, we all know the internet and this is absolutely plausible and even likely. This is not about sympathy, but about a statement against hate. Even if OP is lying, I stand with what I said.
This is censorship manifest!
I think most people would have been fine with like a ublock style collection blocklists they could enable or disable and subscribe to, the problem was hiding it and doing it unilaterally.
Putting in a DDOS tool is just another signal this person isn’t mature enough to be trusted with your computer.
Love it when trash takes itself out.
Roomba style
With added actual felony on top. Several, probably.
wow. guess he wanted to make sure everyone realized how disengenous he was.
He was still on his alts after this, pleading his case
Man this drama ended before I could figure out what it was about lmao
I too am searching for what happened
Reply to me when you find out
tl;dr (also didn’t really see an explanation I’m the linked comments):
Tesseract dev hid a blocklist (compressed + base64 encoded iirc) of users and communities that should never be shown, sneakily inserted in an otherwise irrelevant commit.
There were a lot of communities/people on that list that didn’t make a whole lot of sense, but the main issue is that it was a static list you (as the person hosting the front-end) have to opt out of.
db0 figured this out when he updated tesseract and suddenly no local posts appeared (the db0 instance is on the list).
Actually it was saying our instance was incompatible
Well thanks!
It seems everyone is the problem but them.
A distinct lack of self-awareness and a huge pile of narcissism.
he wants Reddit but wants to be the boss of it
Temu spez
Man is acting like the reddit devs, there is a reason you never see fuck spez or anyone complaining about the ceos/founders anymore, searching fuck spez will only show you stuff from 2023, like suddenly no one has any issue with him
To be fair, anyone who would post “fuck spez” has probably left by now.
Nope. Fuck spez
I meant left Reddit, likely to come here.
Ah, yes, that’s correct.
Isn’t that a felony?
it is. could be argued he created a botnet.
Bye Felicia
He retired an account name. People like him dont just leave, they have to be tossed out on their ass.
Isnt the entire point of lemmy designed to be able to go around this problem?
Well, it kind of did: the guy is gone and life goes on without him.
Okay, real time.
Who’s more pathetic, AdmiralPatrick or Donald Trump?
I’ll take AdmiralPatrick anyday: one is a sad bitter passive-aggressive opensource developer in his basement, the other is a raging fascist with a nuclear button.
