    Genuinely think this post should be pinned for prosperity and a warning to others. Lemmy does not appreciate censorship.

    Am I wrong to empathize at least a little? Ive had crash outs that were pretty bad. I’ve never ddos’d someone but ive definitely done 2000s forum “psycho ex girlfriend” story post levels of crazy before. In your moment of rejection, nobody else matters, you devalue everyone just for that very small satisfaction of revenge.

    Dear Lord, please grant me this level of pettiness and the presence of mind to wield that pettiness only against those who deserve it. Amen.

    It’d be hilarious if this dude went to prison over this, because it seems like he finally crossed from “annoying and unethical but legal” to straight up illegal.

    I think this is the first time the whole fediverse agrees to who the asshole is.

    Thanks, dev of Tesseract, you actually left a positive impact on the fediverse. Please don’t come back.
