I envy tesseract dev. Really. I have barely any determination and feeling of self worth; he had enough to cosplay head of house unmourned. Sadly for him, Lemmy knew how to kill a “god”.
See this kinda thing is exactly why I’m still here. Some guy tried to use his software’s popularity to manipulate and censor Lemmy, and it had the exact opposite effect in the end. His software got immediately forked, most instances(that I know of) stopped using/supporting it and the whole thing is getting memed to death so now the entire usernase knows about it and can specifically avoid this guy and all the software he maintains.
When this kind of thing happens on a platform like reddit or some other closed system, we can often suspect and sometimes experimentally prove that some kind of censorship or manipulation is happening, but it is way more difficult to detect and there’s little the users can do about it.
Not here.
Here the users have the power, the knowledge, and the motivation to not only find problems like this, but to take collective action against them. You all have just proved it, once again.
Great meme!
I’m so happy I got on the list. If i can piss off one fascist POS a day, I am happy!
I’ve got a user @XLE@piefed.social doing the same thing in one of the tesseract threads, defending the tesseract dev, trying to say I’m calling for doxxing…by saying we should expose the actions of bigots like the Tesseract dev. Take a look for yourselves, only a conservative could be so low iq and determined, my god.
I tried to ask, imo in a pretty friendly engaging tone, what they meant with those accusations, and now apparently im under suspicion as well for asking question and disagreeing
id rather not jump into any conclusions about them as a person, but its a damn weird aand p cringy energy
How did you manage to jump to an entirely new thread about me within minutes to echo the same accusations as you had before?
Cause i clicked the link you sent me in your comment dude 🙄 not everythings a fuckin conspiracy, christ
The link didn’t go to the post you’re currently sitting on, @tutter@lemmy.blahaj.zone . Since you have an unhealthy fixation on me, I’ll ask you politely to stop stalking my profile.
Did you know, that if you click on a user link, it takes you to their profile, which on the voyager app shows that users newest comment at the top?
Well know you do
the more you know
you can just block me if you dont want to engage ✌️
stalking… fucking lmao dude. Looking at ANOTHER users commrnt history is stalking, and merely saying the word ‘expose’ is doxxing
👶🧠
edit: oh i see how it is. You can harass users all day long but as soon as someone actually backs you into a corner regarding your antisocial behaviour, oop suddenly the coward disappears and if i press for answers, im stalking and harrassing.
Log of the internet. Youre obviously not equipped for it. Find a new hobby.
@godsammitdam@lemmy.zip
I do not believe the Tesseract dev did the right thing, but I also do not like you calling for mass doxxing of random people. I guess I’m part of your supposedly holy witch hunt now.
Despite how you, tyrmund@sopuli.xyz, or BorgDrone@feddit.nl might feel about it.
Case in point. Please everyone report this dude. He thinks he’s so right but literally can’t say anything other than my username and doxxing.
Calling a human being “cancer” and calling to “expose the bigots friends” is not decent behavior, @godsammitdam@lemmy.zip .
I’m sorry you disagree with what they did, but this is just extremism that validates their point.
You really don’t understand how apostrophes apply possessives do you?
Nor what Sunshine laws are you dolt?
Amoebas have higher iqs.
Thanks for your IQ measurement, Mr. Charles Murray of Bell Curve fame.
I guess doxxing isn’t doxxing if it’s technically not criminal, which is how everybody (especially leftists) measure whether something is ethical.
Define doxxing. I’ve asked 4 times now. Define it.
Isn’t doubling down on stupid takes a big masculinity flex in 2026?
All the alpha males seem to do it.
Women do it, so nothing to do with masculinity.
Its just ego being hurt and both genders feel that.
is that a new thing, it makes them look stupider for doubling down.
Not really, insecure people have been doing that for millennia.
Oh, egads! My Fediverse is ruined!
But what if… I were to censor it, and disguise it as a server error?
Ohoho, delightfully devilish, Patrick
Honest question, has he tried to defend the DDOS attack? Can’t imagine how one would justify that
It was especially stupid when everyone already was scrutinizing his code. Like users found his secret block list that was better hidden than this, and didn’t think anyone would find the ddos code? What a freakin’ moron.
I haven’t seen him acknowledge it yet
As a lemming, this whole drama is categorical censorial bullshit, but also peak comedy because the fuckwad got caught and publicly called on the carpet
As a software engineer, this is stupid implementation, because you can trivially make this a configurable blocklist of strings and regex. It never needed to even be an argument. Which of course means that it was never about the implementation.
As an open source enthusiast, take the software engineer response, but add: and he’s intentionally pushing his (visibly fucked up and warped) worldview and values onto users, and he tried to obfuscate it to be sneaky. That falls in the realm of malware imo - as in, intentionally mutating the functionality of a project with a specific intent of impact on users, and then attempting to hide the evidence. And then he got called out on it, and got super butthurt, and rage quit the whole goddamn platform.
TL;DR: Good fucking riddance.
He even tried to wash it off with “but there is a setting to disable it, just navigate 32 sub menus and click toxic mode” and never addressed the fact that his software would hide the shit behind a “technicall issue” excuse
Did anyone bother to check if that “toxic mode” even existed, or existed prior to the jackass getting caught?
It only worked for one of the lists, not the other
Tbh, doesn’t matter.
Dude clearly designed it to be included in his releases in a difficult to detect fashion. That’s “malicious developer” behavior.
In the context of OSS, you design <thing> to do <function>, and you set things up to allow users and implementers to customize it as they see fit and necessary. Intentionally hiding opt-out mechanism - let alone shipping with shit you want or need to opt out of is very much a big tech bullshit tactic, and OSS devs who do that are objectively caustic OSS devs. Dude tried to foist his views and sensibilities onto everyone who used his shit in a very, very sneaky fashion
It’s correct and appropriate that he got blackballed from the community.
Hello there, fellow Culture enjoyer.
The absolute cherry on top for me was the trigger: a good old-fashioned post upgrade debug session. Your TL;DR ++
I identify as a General Systems Vehicle, and I appreciate your support <3
Valid as hell. I shapeshifted into a GSV in the astral plane once or twice. My polycule thought I made a very attractive GSV.
You should know about !transspecies@lemmy.blahaj.zone.
Your instance admin(s) found it upgrading your instance right?
He wasn’t actually a part of that debug session, or was he?
So the story goes, I wasn’t there to check it. I guess it doesn’t really matter, but I can appreciate a bit of poetic justice when I see it.
“I’ll write a whiny multipage diatribe to rage quit and insert a script to DDOS the instance that hurt my feelings. That’s the behaviour of a well adjusted adult that’s doing the right thing.”
The disturbing thing is that a LOT of people are like this. The older I get and the more I see of humanity the more it becomes clear most don’t mentally age past early teens and many who have big parts of them that don’t age past toddler behaviour.
Definitely the actions of a person who should be unquestioningly trusted to be the sole arbiter of determining what is fine and dandy and what goes too far on Lemmy. Totally not indicative of every legitimate concern that every single person opposing this brought up being accurate, surely not!
My favorite reply from him when I called him out in a different thread: “why can’t you just let people use their own computers how they choose”
I’m guessing he has never heard the wisdom of not throwing stones in a glass house. The cognitive dissonance is hilarious, though.
That dude is an unbearable cunt as a mod as well. I am absolutely not surprised for the fact that he is an unbearable cunt as a developer.
IIRC he banned people in all communities he moderated if he found someone that you broke a rule in only 1 community, idk what rules though
so he was basically crossbanning.
Yes, he does. And he is very flexible in his own interpretation of the rules. He’s the kind of power-tripper I hoped leaving behind on reddit.
You don’t leave them behind here; you manage their reach.
Yes, but I hoped that would make this right here so unattractive, they would fall behind.
Hopefully he won’t come back, though evidently he’s rage quit before and come back
New accounts probably already created.
Most mods do that, though.
Really? That’s kinda messed up (unless it’s like, they ban someone homophobic or racist which then make sense)
Just how mods are. Every server’s got a few.
Dont forget locking the post so no one can comment and call you out
Then coming back to argue on alts
Yo really, is he actually doing that?
Was as of a few hours ago, I haven’t been on since then
oy vey-- I can be a real pill. but at least I can admit when I’m wrong. A lady/gentleman apologizes and exits stage left. One doesn’t simply ragequit with a side of DDoS!
in all my years of slashdotting, Stumbling, Farking, Digging, redditry, and Lemming, I’ve never known anyone to go down this hard nor this bitter. WHAT A CUNT!
This beloved character’s namesake deserved better
WHAT A STUPID ASSHOLE
And to top it all off, startrek.website is going to defederate from db0 for TOTALLY REAL REASONS that aren’t just being a salty little bitch. They just can’t show you proof, cuz it’s doxxing.
is it really website about trek, or is it twisted version of trek? like how LOTR has been twisted by a certain individual who is obsessed with it.
What does startrek website have to do with this though?
I’m fairly sure that’s his personal instance.
There’s not much in the way of sane reasons to go from inactive to suddenly having an admin call out censorship being the ‘last straw’ causing the defed and refusing to show proof because “doxxing”.
I thought its dubvee org? Startrek website was/is a legit instance, a shitty one but legit.
I like that we all know who you’re talking about without naming names
Get used to it.
Anyone with a Claude Code account can spew out a Lemmy (or any other service) client and make antisocial changes and dump it in the App Store.
Everyone’s wrong sometimes that’s just the stale croutons in this human ceasar salad they call “life”. It takes a special kind of grit to be such a massive dog-rocket when your wrong tho
puts “dog-rocket” in purse for later use
Be careful where you use that it may bring unwanted attention
Being wrong in good faith is okay. He definitely was not acting in good faith.
Takes a narcissist
Again, another post celebrating that I’m on the blocklist and Charlie Kirk isn’t.
He’s not saying anything about it though. 🤔
Really proud of him for toning down the rhetoric. Guy hasn’t said a racist thing since he last went viral.
Fr, he’s never been more tolerable
Yeah. Believe it or not, when I saw him last, he was leaning left.
And wearing his heart on his sleeve. And his collar. And his chest. And the ground.
That’s more his neck.
He’s done a lot to improve the world since starting that event.
I bet he was gushing to say something, but now? quiet.
I get like that too sometimes… you get really excited and amped up over something, but then afterwards you just feel drained and dead tired.
when Im that tired, sometimes I like taking a nap in the dirt.
Yes, but not on top of it, where it’s loud and hot, more like snuggled some feet below, where it’s refreshing and quiet.
