As part of the devs farewell message on their site, they have included malicious code to make each visitor sends 2,000 requests to the dbzer0 servers in an attempt to DDOS and take the instance offline.
What’s the tesseract drama?
Tesseract is a lemmy frontend a lot of people use. The dev secretly added a blocklist to the software that hides ANYTHING they don’t approve of, which includes: discussing zionism, discussing mod abuse, discussing billionaires, a lot of generic news communities, the Wholesome Yuri community, the dz0 instance, and a LOT more. It also includes over 500 users who didn’t do anything worthy of a ban (at least of that scale).
It’s nakedly a single person trying to force their own agenda. They got called out, and they took it as well as you could expect. Which is to say, they’re crashing out HARD.
Don’t forget he blacklisted any communities about “identity politics” I.e. LGBTQ+ spaces
Have they ever said “identity politics”?
I only know of them banning lemmy.blahaj.place and saying its because the instance allowed people to talk about hurting other people (i assume its referring to the posts about attacking fascists)
It was literally in his manifesto when he was first called out on it.
And any discussion of pedophiles, or the epstein class. Seriously, you can keep looking through that list and it’ll keep getting worse and worse, but I had to click “reply” at SOME point.
And ACAB, beans, the word perchance, and 👉👈.
Truly, the worst of the worst.
Huh. Now I’m curious if I’m on the list. 😂
