What does the farewell message say?
-
I still don't know what Tesseract is and now I guess I don't need to care.
It's a front end to change the UI of lemmy, and others like lemmy. you can see some examples of others here: https://www.lemmyapps.com/ . Filter by web app to see some of the other popular ones.

Considering the guy had a list of what looked like 1k+ users being blocked, which honestly confuses me how he managed to get that many users together. I don't even remember most of the users comments after each post, let alone the massive list he had. His ego must be massive to create a curated list like that, which means he took issue with each one of us on that list or built a script that created it based from trigger words from our posts and comments... either way it's not a good look.
He probably just used his personal block list as the basis.
-
Guy made an alternative front-end some instances used. It secretly retrieved a non-text-readable shadowban list including dozens of instances, about a thousand users, and any post including bottom face/hands, the word "perchance", and a bunch of other stuff. It was discovered when one of the instances using it updated and found the entire instance was throwing a generic technical error.
bottom face/hands,
I usually don't like to play the "English as second language" card, as I take great pride learning it, but I need to for this one lol. what does this mean?

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.
Confluence of stress burnout, and character traits.
Is worthwhile to explore both the psychological and societal precursors to such.
... Probably worthwhile looking into narcissism too. Albeit many perspectives on the topic, there are common themes and distinct insights to catch, that are sometimes difficult to really have sink in, so distinct and alient an umwelt exists behind the contrastingly "normal" facade. Until blow-out.
... Probably worthwhile looking into autism too. Maybe AuDHD specifically (whom are the majority). The absence of the socially normativising stuff, from the different neurophysiology, almost like we're having to do all the work of the cerebelum, the gpu, in the forebrain, the cpu, with the neuronal journeys having more finegrain, less pruning, and fewer main reinforced trunks, and so experience far more of the intricate detail all the way there, and all the way back... it's not just exhausting in itself, the extra brain power required for all the meta-navigation, only having the intricacies of side roads of working-it-out-now, none of the popular motorways of presumption, but also exhausting from the resultant clashes, and the cassandra syndrome, putting up with a majority who dismiss what you see in preference for their shared reality, regardless of how well it can be seen otherwise... no judgement on who's right or wrong there, only a consideration of what it's like, having to live like that. ... I can imagine that adds a whole other dimension of burnout to be experienced. And then when having found something that can accommodate you, avails a space where you're finally allowed the control you need to soothe your fine-grain sensitivities from that different awareness frequency range, gives you that peace, and then that area expands back into the social space, where there's still a different umwelt clash, each modality appearing stupid to the metrics of the other modality. And in the absence of support nor aptitude in that other's stubborn paradigm, for your own stubborn paradigm, whether you try to brashly persist in your integrity, or you try to bend to fit, it exhausts, either way. And then melt-downs and rage-attacks and so on can happen. Especially when got so close to it, and identified with it, this new thing you made that availed you such grace, that could save the world, that's part of you... and then these ungrateful swine come along and threaten it!? Yeah, I can see how such blow-outs could come about.
Especially bad if one has both autism and narcissism. The narcissism would preclude their any will whatsoever to self improvement. They'd have total aversion to accountability. No real introspection, and thus no real regret or apology is possible. Only pretence. If even that. Sometimes the grandiosity slips out of the mask of even the most covert narcissists (and community narcissists, martyr hero narcissists, vulnerable narcissists, etc). Narcissists, especially the true ones, where it has become their personality, and not just a rare incidental moment or rarer trait, in having itpped past the point of introspection, into delusional non-reality in fantasy love of their self image, no longer able to distinguish other people as other people, seeing them only as means to their own ends, and lingering in that, growing more machiavelian, psychopathic, even sadistic and demented. And in a way, a bit of a saving grace for us all, if the autism's louder than the socially manipulative covert machiavellianisms. Better the devil we can see [because they lack the social aptitude to hide], than the devil we cannot see [because they hide among us, pretending to be the paragons of virtue].

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.
Would make sense, yeah. But different personality traits are attracted to different professions. They just have other issues if it's more of an extrovert profession.

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 wouldn’t be surprised if they are lying about receiving death threats.
100%. I'm willing to bet he didn't even receive any threats. The guy was a short-lived lolcow.
-
I can see that someone wants to feel big, but once he was ousted, we could all tell how small and fragile he is, and he had to make himself even smaller.
This is so pathetic it's hilarious!
-
It's just honestly sad. How do you get lodged so far up your own ass that even the ones you trust and "interacted positively for years" with can't even demonstrate to you that you're plain wrong.
Because they only interact positively with people that worship them. Yandev jumped ship from multiple communities when the (completely legitimate) criticism got too heavy.
-
The random strikes me as curious too. I don't see the point in doing
(100 - 1 + 1), you could express a random number between 1 and 100 in a simpler manner. Then he gets another random number and reuses that three times, for whatever reason.Then again, none of his other decisions make much sense to me so why would this?
Yeah the
- 1 + 1was weird to me too, serves no purpose.I can see how choosing a new random number for each fetch would prevent the server from caching the response, I suppose.
I can't imagine this code was written in any other fashion than completely rage-induced, with shaking fingers and high blood pressure. 😂 What a putz.
-
Yes, agreed. Wholesome Yuri being banned might be the most outrageous decision of them all on the banlist, for me.
Tbh for me it was more outrageous how it interferes with moderation. There are admins from big instances who weren’t blocked themself and mods from big active communities on that list. If they write warning comments, users of this frontend will simply not see them
And tho user and comment regex is a mess, partially containing very random things. Lot’s of possible wrong matches. This whole thing is from no viewpoint a good idea
-
There used to be a
languageattribute, but I don't think I've ever seenlangbefore.
The lang attribute exists for other elements, but not on the script tag. 👍
-
woah there... i've known nice rats
The ones you're referring to are probably rat cuties in this case (unlike the Tesseract dev)
-
What an actual manchild
People who are actually done don't write several essays in a week and set up targeted DDoS
Imagine having such an oversized ego to think that your views are the only correct ones, and then that it's your duty to enforce them on others in clandestine ways.
Particularly when those views are ultimately not much more developed than those you'd expect a child to hold
think its your duty to enforce them on others...
Thats the wild part of all this.
There are ways for users to filter things themselves. Its not hard, and that is the user's choice. I filter out several instances, but its MY CHOICE. And if others want to read those, that is fine, its THEIR CHOICE.
-
he is probably still reading these discussions lol
I asked him to be put on the list and after a bit of back and forth I was finally added
Which means he can’t see my posts from any of his alts! 🎉🎉🥳🥳
-
I had two cute little ratties.
Yeah no way I believe this without some cute rattie pics as proof mhm (pretty please :3)
(also cw probably because many people are afraid of rat cuties for some reason)

And that full text, also to avoid extra visits:
You crazies won and proved me wrong. The fediverse isn't worth saving after all.
Over the course of the last several days, I have received a constant stream of harassing messages, death threats, and threats of doxxing over DM, Matrix, Github, and Codeberg. All of it instigated and eggged on by another instance's top admin. This is unacceptable for all of the reasons in the world, and while I won't give you the personal satisfaction of having won, you've definitely proven me wrong about the fediverse being something that even can be saved from itself.
Even people around here I'd interacted with positively for years and had grown to respect because they seemed level headed and above the immature and sociopathic bullshit that dominates this platform showed their true selves. That completely shattered any and all illusions I had that this place has a hidden core of users that I should try to make more visible amongst all the rage, rage baiting, propaganda, harassment, rumor mongering, trolls, conspiracies, purity testing, witch hunts, and violent rhetoric.
Like many of the rational people before me who called this place home, I'm done with this place.
I tried to carve out a space where those people and other rougher edges were not drowning out niche communities and hobbies and where people who choose to use the platform to harass others were also out of sight, out of mind. Apparently only three people who aren't me actually want a place that's not just a circle-jerk of rage and hate. Thus sayeth the mob.
Then you have entire instances whose admins call for the death of others, harass other users, and lead harassment, brigading, and DARVO campaigns against those who dare call out their bullshit or decide to disassociate themselves and their work from them.
Lemmy.World was so close to doing the right thing after instance-that-will-not-be named's admins were calling for the death of LW's admins while spreading rumours and labeling others in such a way that painted them as targets for murder. All of that, mind you, with absoultey no evidence other than specuation and their own cooked-up conspiracies about modlog actions or taking and twisting things wildly out of context to fit their made-up narratives so they had someone to say they 'caught' and should be killed.
.world was on the precipice of doing the right thing and disaccociating themselves from that psychotic shit show, but silently dropped the issue and carried on as usual after wringing their hands for maybe two weeks.
"We have to worry about the optics or the politics of it." they probably said.
Bullshit.
I'm one person and have held my fucking ground, mostly with dignity and grace, in the heat of my own shitstorm of trying to disaccociate from the extremist elements of the fediverse. If I can stand up for what's right and deal with the blowback, so can you.
Fuck lemmy world's admin team for condoning that behavior and letting the human skidmark db0 DARVO his way out of the situation while brigading with his army of malcontents whom he wields like a cult leader. He knows exactly what he is doing, and you all continue to allow him to get away with it.
Nah, fuck this whole place. I've let too many things fall by the wayside IRL because of dealing with all this fediverse bullshit and trying to give it the slightest bit of polish both visually and atmospherically. Mythbusters may have proven that you can, in fact, polish a turd, but at the end of the day, it's still a shiny ball of shit.
For the few people left who didn't turn out to be psychotic, I'll think of you from time to time when recalling something you've posted or commented that genuinely made me laugh, made me think, or otherwise put a smile on my face or in my heart.
Everyone else, though, enjoy your toxic, xenophobic, knee-jerk-to-violence, purity-testing, and harassing-anyone-who-doesn't-fall-in-line cess pit. One day you, too, will do or say something that doesn't toe the line and you'll be right where I am.
P.S. Rimu, you owe me a beer. No one is talking about the Piefed vote quotas anymore, so you're welcome.
Yes, I was following the orders of db0 and ada when I did it o7

I'm getting pretty sick of this kind of claim. Like, do I believe he's been harassed? Yeah, that seems likely. Death threats? That's definitely possible. What I take issue with is the way it's brought up.
He frames that it's a campaign run by a particular individual targeting him, but there are no receipts. He's using it as a shield against critique, shutting down any discussion around this by pointing at something and screaming about how he's a big victim here.
Same thing the last time, a claim of coordinated attacks (of which there were none), and anyone who dared say "well thats not cool" were targeted, myself included.
Though I surprisingly didn't make it into this list, but considering my commenting on it since, I'd probably make it into their next one.
These claims seem like a go-to for anyone caught doing something they know they shouldn't have in a way they shouldn't have.

Thanks!
Some of my favorite pictures aren’t well-loved by Lemmy, cause I’m a weirdo with weird taste:
I don't think you can take great photos without a bit of weird in there personally - keep on posting them, I know ive enjoyed them!
