cross-posted from: https://quokk.au/c/fediverse/p/1066667/tesseract-dev-injects-malicious-code-into-browser-to-illegally-ddos-the-dbzer0-instance
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.
How does dbzer0 end up in every controversy on lemmy ever?
Half the time they arent even the controversial ones in the situation
Because they host ye power tripping bastards, which lists mod abuse
Most arent even related to that community
They are, tangentially.
There’s a lot of purity politicking and porridge-only level censorship on lemmy. Db0 tends to allow adults and hyperbole. So you have this combination of wildly overstepping mods / upper tier users used to throwing their weight around “ummmaaa you said a naughty word!!” coming face to face with an entire instance of people they can’t control and who don’t really care either, with a comm that documents mod abuse and said mods lose their everloving shit at the loss of control.
Because most of the time the controversy is there precisely to make db0 look bad.
