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.
This is an important post and I appreciate the insight into the happenings on the Fediverse, but the comment chains are going off the rails and I’ve issued a number of bans from this post alone.
Locking.
Genuinely think this post should be pinned for prosperity and a warning to others. Lemmy does not appreciate censorship.
It’d be hilarious if this dude went to prison over this, because it seems like he finally crossed from “annoying and unethical but legal” to straight up illegal.
he is probably still reading these discussions lol
I think this is the first time the whole fediverse agrees to who the asshole is.
Thanks, dev of Tesseract, you actually left a positive impact on the fediverse. Please don’t come back.
Tesseract is officially malware. What a petulant child Patrick is.
Wow, this went from petty to downright malware by proxy. Real mature.
Fascists literally cannot help themselves.
Dear Lord, please grant me this level of pettiness and the presence of mind to wield that pettiness only against those who deserve it. Amen.
I could understand hardcoded blacklists if Tesseract was meant as a frontend for a Lemmy instance tailored for a specific purpose, and not intended for general use. But this, to DDOS a website because the developer is a whiny baby who can’t take criticism? This is a new low. This is disgusting, and damaging for the Lemmyverse as whole.
Good riddance then, I guess.
I doubt he’s gone, just hiding under an alt.
Then may he read and seethe at all of these comments and hopefully one day realize he’s wrong (I know, long shot)
I sincerely hope for his mental wellbeing that he doesn’t.
He absolutely is. He was trying to defend himself under his Kirk@ startrek.website account constantly these past few days.
As of ~an hour ago - FYI: StarTrek.website is no longer federating with Lemmy.dbzer0.com
So I guess they’ve chosen their side in this debate.
Knowing ValueSubtracted’s history, that’s not surprising in the slightest. It is very suspicious that this happened right after the Kirk account became active on every thread defending Patrick’s actions, and suddenly ST.W has an issue out of the blue with dbzer0. There’s likely something more to this behind closed doors.
makes sense why I was banned from there the other day when I started calling his alts out.
I don’t think that it’s unlikely. Just unhealthy.
anyone reported them to their ISP yet?
What a scumbag
jesus christ he just needs to take the l
I’ve never seen a dev do something like this. Pretty incredible that he put that in the code. It just shows the maturity level of these guys.
“Apparently only three people who aren’t me actually want a place that’s not just a circle-jerk of rage and hate.”
I think this is the best part of their message
