Fediverse

Can someone ELI5? I’m way out of the loop and almost too afraid to ask at this point.

Is tessaract an instance? My understanding through memes is that they hardcoded a blocklist of users and instances and it became a badge of honor to have your name on it.

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

Classy.

Dude should reflect about running into assholes all day.

Is this an honorary ban to just exist as a dbzer0 user?

Edit: is it just me, or is that script written funnily. Then again, I don't code in JS

I still don't know what Tesseract is and now I guess I don't need to care.

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.

100% that dude was running an op. If you want to "carve out" such a space, that would be an instance for the "non-crazies" where all "those people and other rougher edges were not drowning out niche communities and hobbies" were banned or filtered out. You can block and filter however you want on your instance. In fact that is one of the expectation one has of an instance and how one chooses an instance. I chose blahaj because of how the admins, you know, administrate and curate the instance. Writing a front-end and smuggling in a blocklist via other commits (no commit message ever acknowledged the blocklist as it was being built afaik) and having a central point of truth for what and who gets filtered is not how you "carve out" a space, it's how you try to shape discourse on an entire platform.

That DDOS attempt is him being extremely mad at db0 for thwarting this before his front-end became the de-facto standard for power-users, especially mods and admins.

.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.

Oh yeah they just silently dropped it, they still owe db0 an apology for throwing all this shit at them right immediately after the nazi allegation got debunked.

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.

You already had ragequit the fediverse last year remember? This is just lolcow behavior at this point.

P.S. Rimu, you owe me a beer. No one is talking about the Piefed vote quotas anymore, so you’re welcome.

I sometimes do wonder what goes on in the matrix rooms around the fediverse lol. Seems like someone fell out of favor with even the most liberal of the anti-tankies.

What a whiny little piss baby of a person.

You know, I think this whole situation could've been boiled down to just make an instance and defederate, instead we got the FediKaren of the year with their silly obscured list and petty shoddy ahh ddos script.

I still don't know what Tesseract is, but I take it's not something I'd want to use.

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.

In another post he claimed to try to save the fediverse

I wasn't on the list but I feel included now. Thank you deranged manchild of the fediverse.

Far out, how unhinged is this guy??
