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.
Can someone explain what the hell this whole situation is? I didn’t really even know what tesseract even was before this happened.
Some guy made a customized lemmy frontend.
He decided to be a fascist justice warrior and secretly embed filters that blocked users he didn't like personally.
Someone noticed and said wtf?
He framed it as protecting lemmy and new users - anyone asking why a frontend should even be doing this, let alone in an obfuscated, default enabled manner, were met with his whinging.
Instead of accepting the unpopularity of his extremely poor choices, he instead decided to commit the crimes of disturbing malicious software.
I'm 2 days late to checking the banlist and even though I didn't make the exact user match, I did make the regex match lol.
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.
It'd be hilarious if he turned out to be Felon Mu$k, the manchild mentality is very similar.
Too bad that dumbfuck can't actually write code.
All those repeating lines when he could have called a separate function?
I would never have passed a first year student who wrote that code. C-
Tesseract is officially malware. What a petulant child Patrick is.
i miss ernest and kbin; it was great software that vibed with the rest of the fediverse and he was just nice.
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.

Meh, I'm sure they are still here under a few alts.
They definitely are. I think I saw one get banned in a thread here.
What a whiny little piss baby of a person.
