What does the farewell message say?
-
In another post he claimed to try to save the fediverse
-
Anyone who thinks "yeah lgbt stuff should be hidden because we want to attract people who don't want to see LGBT stuff" is someone I don't want anywhere near the fediverse.
Yes, agreed. Wholesome Yuri being banned might be the most outrageous decision of them all on the banlist, for me.

I could understand his initial intention of having some kind of nsfw filter for radical opinions, even though the implementation was questionable. And I was honestly sad about the shit storm that hit him. Too many people here pretend to be more respectful and empathetic than average, but will happily dogpile to get a piece of a person given the right momentum.
But this ddos code is hard to defend, it goes against his own initial intention. He should have walked away before reaching this point.
Can we avoid adding new events to this sad chain of events now?
Radicalism is shadoew banning anti genocide and colononization people, people trying to make a safe space for trans people and shadow banning people using the term epstein class.

Just say ass, you can curse on the internet
Whoa, reported.

People who are attracted to computers often have emotional baggage. As a kid, I liked computers myself for that reason. I could escape the real world and have fun. The computer would do exactly what I wanted all the time.
Today, you have all kinds of emotionally unstable people using computers. The trans community are very much into computers as well, for the same reasons I did probably. Because it's a safe space when you are different.
And yeah, some people will use their tech skills to cause damage. Others to build something useful.
I'd say everyone has emotional baggage. I don't see a single person growing up on this planet that can possibly not have emotional baggage.
The difference is about how you handle it. Emotional baggage and emotional instability are NOT connected.
I don't think there is a particularly higher amount of people in tech that become insane at the first feel of power. They just often have a higher impact. Just look at the corporate world. The amount of power tripping managers is pretty high as well.

Classy.
Dude should reflect about running into assholes all day.

Did you learn your lesson?
(I like the chandelier one, nice misty contrast and off centre composition)
Thanks!
Some of my favorite pictures aren’t well-loved by Lemmy, cause I’m a weirdo with weird taste:

I think you're projecting a little. People act like this no matter the field. We swim in the tech pool, so we mostly only see the shit floating in our pool.
I can assure you the neighbour's pool also has their fair share of floaters.

While a toxicity filter for normies as an onboarding tool is not the worst idea in the world, the implementation was. But even beyond that, the blocklist was so clearly going way above and beyond "sanding off the rough edges" and straight into just "I'm going to block everything I personally dislike". Wholesome Yuri is like, the opposite of toxic but that whole community was blocked. As was using "🥺👉👈".
It's so frustrating that people still want to interpret the censorship as just "going after those calling for violence." There is nothing violent about girls kissing or using submissive emojis; they just didn't like that queer stuff. There is no way to write that off as anything else. This person found queer behavior icky and wanted to hide it from view. Them claiming to care about bigotry was hypocritical virtue signaling.

Good riddance then, I guess.
I doubt he's gone, just hiding under an alt.

It’s what happens when someone with underdeveloped empathy gets caught doing something they know is wrong, resulting in emotional overload.
It’s textbook toddler tantrum.
With stunted empathy, people seeking an explanation and apology are met with increasingly greater resistance.
And like textbook, they claim to be the victim. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are lying about receiving death threats.
What’s crazy is they could have simply:
- Apologised
- Explained the intent to reduce toxicity
- Agreed there was a lack of transparency
- Refactored their existing “enable toxicity mode” feature into a clearer, toggleable blocklist feature
But no. They were caught while they were secretly trying to play internet dictator and refused to empathise with others that were hurt and shocked to find out a tool they were using was receiving undisclosed payloads to use to censor communities and individuals.
I strongly implore everyone to leave this developer alone. Jokingly asking to be added to the list etc empowers them to continue to play the victim. They do not deserve attention.
I don't really go on a blocking spree much. How would a front end's block list implementation be different than the instance's choice of software's block list implementation?
I hardly browse All and Local. I am on a piefed based instance, and leave "Enable Automatic Follow of Feed Communities." and "Enable Automatic Leave of Feed Communities." on. So kind of my subscribed feed is semi automatic as long as I follow a broad topic.

"extremism is a scourge"

I hope this queerphobe in denial actually leaves for good and doesn't pull some supervillain comeback.

we at the fringes are fated to share space with the mentally ill forever i guess

Oh! Is that maybe why my network choked to a mere double figure kb crawl after I posted about it [~ and pasting the diatribe for posterity, and so others wouldnt have needed visit that]?
I just presumed it was the dozen distro ISO I was downloading at the time too, in a distroholic relapse.
... I'm not really paying attention to all this drama.

Well, there's another one going down the deep end. Can anyone enlighten me why there are devs losing their minds on the regular and pulling everyone else into their shitshow? Most of the time those people are actually skilled, but something goes wrong and they become megalomaniac, believing they are the arbiter of truth and a gift from god we all should be thankful for while they pull more and more insane shit.
Do you think it's skill or just vibe code?

People like him have multiple accounts.
As in not just honest ones for robustness against outages, but, sock puppets?

I still don't know what Tesseract is and now I guess I don't need to care.
It's a frontend. So literally a skin to make a website look prettier and more organized.
Imagine a waiter starts telling customers what foods they are allowed to eat. He wasn't the chef, the manager, the owner, anybody.
That's how stupid it was.

I don't think I've ever witnessed someone going so hard off the rails. It's been an entertaining few days really.
Honestly it was pretty common on classic Reddit. Usually a modder. Often times a script kiddie/chrome extension.
It feels nice to see it here and it really takes me back.
-
LOL. Sounds like an idiot. Even if the guy was really needed, you can't have someone like that on your team.
Just another reminder, no one cares about you in the slave factory. Prioritize yourself over work and don't build up loyalty to a rich asshole.
