Isn’t that a felony?
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
wow. guess he wanted to make sure everyone realized how disengenous he was.
He was still on his alts after this, pleading his case
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.
Yes, I believe Bluesky does exactly that - custom blocklists you can subscribe to. It would actually be a very useful feature.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah, that is the only point that actually resonates with me.
Predictable and self inflicted. You don’t bring Reddit style tactics to a group that largely fled them and not face blowback.
It’s just shocking that they’d create a front end that filters out a bunch of stuff without telling the user. To me, that’s not the job of a front end client program. If they want to add additional filtering over the backend, it needs to be directed by the user or at least specifically approved by the user.
If he was as proud and confident in his choices as he claims to be he would have advertised it as a feature to get more users.
Good point.
They wanted to be a self appointed moral guardian for all of Lemmy but are themselves immortal because they intentionally hid that they were censoring anyone.
themselves immortal
lulz
Funnily enough it does also work. This will likely be what most people remember them for lol. And it was all their own doing
Haha yeah that’s where my head went too
Yes if this had been opt-in. Something that the user had to explicitly enable it. And was thoroughly explained. The worst anyone would have to say about them is that they were overly opinionated. But no one would care beyond that. The reason it’s a big thing. It is the way it was hidden and enabled by default. It 100% is a mess of their own making.
Yeah, I use blocklists on bluesky but I have to enable them. That way if I can’t see someone’s post I know it’s not a bug and I can change it myself.
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
Love it when trash takes itself out.
Roomba style
With added actual felony on top. Several, probably.
It seems everyone is the problem but them.
A distinct lack of self-awareness and a huge pile of narcissism.
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.
Well, I’m not gonna click the link if it’ll participate in a DDoS attack.
It’s down anyways, but could disable JS
