Love it 🙄 Just deleted my account there, fuck those assholes.
explicitly allows discussions about hurting people
Remember kids, wishing death upon mass murderers makes you just as bad as them actually.
What an asshole
I made a single comment asking how someone can be anti-trans and a fascist boot licker but also a star trek fan.
Guess who I asked.
Thanks for asking. I have the same questions!
So you called them names and they kicked you to the curb? Shocking development
An old .world account that got turned on after Patrick had his shitfit, and defends Patrick. Hmmm…
How many differently named alts is it normal to have? I could accept like, one or two for safety reasons (never want to connect too much info about yourself). But the known ones (Admiral Patrick, ptz, Kirk) plus all the others who feel suspiciously strongly in favor of him despite being almost entirely inactive is for sure suspicious. Like… whatcha stockpiling all those for, man??
weird amount of those lately…
He just can’t help himself! No matter how many times he says he’s quitting the platform, he’s back before you know it. It’s hilarious how transparent and obvious his alts are.
It’s one thing to have an alt, (I do, and I intentionally block my account and all politics/negative things to keep space, it’s more for looking at memes and making them), its another to pretend it’s not you and defend yourself.
The way he uses these alts is very Reddit-like, keeping them dormant until it is time to wake them up to sockpuppet. He has to invent false users to side with him because he’s utterly alone otherwise and he can’t handle it. Nobody else sees him for the last bastion of Lemmy sanctity and purity that he thinks he is.
It’s not name calling when it’s what they do.
I don’t understand how Patrick hiding a DDOS attack in his “goodbye” message isn’t grounds for banning his alts on that server according to their policy. It literally is breaking the law in many countries
Edit: for that matter, .world should consider the same for his alts there
I just think it’s hilarious that instead of “saving” the fediverse they fractured it. Whiney bitches love to break shit then whine about it being broken.
Can’t have your little kingdom when it’s not fractured from the whole.
I would say they’ve brought the fediverse together like never before. I don’t think this many people have agreed on a single thing in the history of fedi.
How many do you think he’s got? I swear I just found one called Eristalis created a day ago lol
looks like cardboardcruncher6400 is another, He’s basically manifestoing all over the shitpost thread
I’m losing count of his sock puppets at this point
James R Kirk - he was posting like an impartial observer on Fediverse vs Disinformation @db0 in a breakdown of the ban list thread. Things like:
The dev posted a response in c/Tesseract but you’re mostly correct. They wanted to make it easier for like minded future admins to be able to spin up a Lemmy instance without having to know all of the lore.
Then when people called him out he started becoming a frothing troll.
Pretty sure the dude saying how everyone who blew up over the shitlist was doing illegal shit is one too
Doing illegal shit is a requirement for being a human rights activist in the USA today.
always has been
This whole situation is bizzare
what ddos attack? link?
That was my first instance. Turns out it’s the star trek has gotten too woke kind of people running it?! Ah well, llap 🖖
I had forgotten the reason the .website was first formed, and then some of the posters returned to .world later. I wonder if there is anyone out there documenting all the different lore bits.
I think they actually use star trek as a cover to find leftist and trans people to add the to their list
Report to your nearest Starfleet officer if you’re aware of anyone queer or has communist sympathies, Admiral Patrick McCarthy needs your support to Make Lemmy Reddit Again
I mean, does it really count as separate drama or a continuation of existing drama?
Continuation for sure.
The whole “you violated our policy but we can’t tell you how you violated it” thing has heavy big-tech gaslighting vibes.
Smells like Reddit
That’s because they were the star trek mods from reddit pre-apicalypse. Not having duplicate communities in Reddit and all power concentrated into one mod group or even worse one person is what attracted me to Lemmy in the first place. Not all, but from what I’ve seen, former mods from Reddit tend to have the entitlement of my community should be the only community.
It even has the “here is a link to the entirety of our policy” trope. Like com’on, bruh, this is actually making me angry just reading it regardless of context.
I loathe that sort of shit.
tbf the prime directive clearly states ‘open source devs have the right to embed obfuscated arbitary blocklists in their software without notyifying users, and DDOS anyone who points it out’
I want to let you know, this is my current favorite comment 🤘
🖖
Punishing the victims? really?
Who are the victims in this exactly? Aren’t we being a little loose on the definition?
The victims of an illegal computer attack, you dingus. Are you unaware that Admiral Patrick set up his instance to DDOS db0?
EDIT: This user is an alt of Admiral Patrick, so he’s playing dumb.
So when do instances start defederating startrek.website since they clearly want to be alone?
lemy.lol has announced to defederate 30 minutes ago and is currently defederated.
And much respect to them for how they handled this/themselves.
I guess someone needs to create the Star.trek lemmey instance
Man I don’t even know what instance I’m on. Is there a good instance?
Most are fine, there are a few right wing instances that crop up but most instances defederated from them fairly quickly (unless you’re on an “as long as it’s not illegal” instance, which include dbzer0, Lemmy.zip and lemmy.sdf.org)
The ones that are somewhat still federated but best to avoid are the ones known as the Tankie Triad, Hexbear Lemmygrad and Lemmy.ml.
Hex and grad are fairly widely defederated from, including your instance, because of their tankie authoritarian ideology (Supports and defends authoritarian countries like Russia and NK (they’ll spread propaganda like Ukraine deserved to be invaded by Russia and it’s not even Russia invading but “liberation”)). Lemmy.ml tends to not be, because they try to keep it more subtle, there’s this mega thread that documents it. It’s lemmy.ml centric, but general rule of thumb is that whatever Lemmy.ml does hex and grad are known to be worse.
Most other instances are fine, .world…is just too big and that “power” has tended to go to their heads sometimes, though I will say not to the mass degree that Lemmy.ml does.
Oh and startrek.website is pretty shit, but you could tell that from this post LMAO
You’re on Lemmy.world which is a very large lib instance (very dem friendly, but highly sanitized). They have defederated with the leftests (hexbear.net, Lemmy.ml [the Lemmy dev’s home instance], and lemmygrad.ml) over “extreme views” and
the anarchists (Lemmy.dbze0.com) over piracy support(oh my mistake, they just blocked all piracy communities) long time ago. I’ll let someone else explain the flotilla.As for good instances, it depends what kind of experience you want to have. Why isn’t there an instance test yet?
World has never defederated from lemmy.ml, partially because they’re the dev’s home instance.
I still get lemmy ml , maybe because I’m on sync, but I’ve blocked it several times.
nah, scare quotes can naff off. Hexbear was dogpiling like crazy and .ml is just…IDK what they’re doing over there but everyone’s banned from it.
I’m not scare quotes, I’m representing that this was .world’s view.
And what hexbear was doing was interacting with the common reditor refugee after interacting with nothing but their leftest instance for years. It was a clash of cultures, and I think the right thing happened. I think that’s the great thing about the fediverse - being able to decide (as instance, comm, or user) who you interact with, which was what the tesseract dev was taking away from people.
Agreed.
Out of curiosity what app do you use? For whatever reason I’ve never been able to get .gifs to upload (work in comments) using Jerboa.
I’ve noticed that when you copy-paste a gif it ends up with only the first frame as a still image, but if you actually save it as a .gif file and then upload it, it works.
This is with either the default web UI or Voyager, BTW.
Voyager
Boost.
GIFs often fail to upload due to size restrictions of the instances we use. When that happens, I upload to imgur or catbox and embed the link instead.
You can just link to a GIPHY image using the !(link) markdown syntax.
Ex: Terminator
I guessed I’d be seeing something here with the bans and removals that started cropping up in that thread…
100% PTB. Just removing anyone who is pointing out that its related to tesseract, a total lie, etc.
