How do we know if we made the list?

[–] zephiriz@lemmy.ml 1 points 32 minutes ago

The bots agree with me so it must be everyone else that is wrong. /s

I forget where but remember hearing a story once. If I hosted a banger of a party and everyone passes out at my house. I wake up the next morning to see a giant shit log in the kitchen sink and Joe says Jerry did it. I might be willing to hear Jerry out. But if I got 10 people say yeah Jerry is the one who took a shit in your sink. Well I'm going to be making Jerry clean my fucking sink.

I envy tesseract dev. Really. I have barely any determination and feeling of self worth; he had enough to cosplay head of house unmourned. Sadly for him, Lemmy knew how to kill a "god".

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 0 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

i've personally slain bigger than patrick. [like, i'm sure we don't want to get a thread of "what's the biggest thing you've ever destroyed, please tell the story" because it would be utterly toxic and in the real way, not the patrick way} i'm sure most of us here have. "god"? please, let's not feed his nor any other dev's ego.

[–] Demdaru@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

It was reference to game called "Morrowind" where main antagonist utters the phrase "I am a god. How can you kill a god?". Felt it fit with how self-aggradazing was our dear dev.

Took a chance with that reference, lemmy being full of nerds and all that xD

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

ah shit. i tried arena and it was not for me, daggerfall was not for me, skipped morrowind, loved oblivion and skyrim, but when i went back for morrowind games had developed too much and i didn't finish it because of all the jank. loved what little of the story i got though. i got as far as custom spells.

[–] Demdaru@lemmy.world 1 points 42 minutes ago

Understandable. I am quite tolerant for old game mechanics myself, and actually enjoyed both Arena and Daggerfall. Played Morrowind, and had a disk format just before facing the big bad...

And forgot to make backup of this one game.

I could not make myself go through swinging sword at larva with missing_woosh.ogg in the background again to start anew xD

See this kinda thing is exactly why I'm still here. Some guy tried to use his software's popularity to manipulate and censor Lemmy, and it had the exact opposite effect in the end. His software got immediately forked, most instances(that I know of) stopped using/supporting it and the whole thing is getting memed to death so now the entire usernase knows about it and can specifically avoid this guy and all the software he maintains.

When this kind of thing happens on a platform like reddit or some other closed system, we can often suspect and sometimes experimentally prove that some kind of censorship or manipulation is happening, but it is way more difficult to detect and there's little the users can do about it.

Not here.

Here the users have the power, the knowledge, and the motivation to not only find problems like this, but to take collective action against them. You all have just proved it, once again.

Great meme!

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 9 points 10 hours ago

I'm so happy I got on the list. If i can piss off one fascist POS a day, I am happy!

Isn't doubling down on stupid takes a big masculinity flex in 2026?

All the alpha males seem to do it.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 8 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

Women do it, so nothing to do with masculinity.

Its just ego being hurt and both genders feel that.

[–] Folstar@lemmus.org 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

The modern Mega-Toddler. All the behaviors of your average toddler, but in the body of a adult. It used to be an oddity, someone much maligned in the papers and film. Now it's entire movement and even nations, with the prototype oddity suddenly running things.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

Yup. The reasons for why can be discussed but I always point the finger at social media...

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

is that a new thing, it makes them look stupider for doubling down.

[–] Huschke@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

Not really, insecure people have been doing that for millennia.

[–] bequirtle@lemmy.world 15 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Oh, egads! My Fediverse is ruined!

But what if... I were to censor it, and disguise it as a server error?

Ohoho, delightfully devilish, Patrick

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 31 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Honest question, has he tried to defend the DDOS attack? Can’t imagine how one would justify that

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 28 points 18 hours ago

It was especially stupid when everyone already was scrutinizing his code. Like users found his secret block list that was better hidden than this, and didn't think anyone would find the ddos code? What a freakin' moron.

[–] ToastedCoconuts@piefed.blahaj.zone 11 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I haven't seen him acknowledge it yet

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

he's still around? which alt is he using right now?

[–] godsammitdam@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 hours ago (9 children)

I've got a user @XLE@piefed.social doing the same thing in one of the tesseract threads, defending the tesseract dev, trying to say I'm calling for doxxing...by saying we should expose the actions of bigots like the Tesseract dev. Take a look for yourselves, only a conservative could be so low iq and determined, my god.

[–] tutter@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

I tried to ask, imo in a pretty friendly engaging tone, what they meant with those accusations, and now apparently im under suspicion as well for asking question and disagreeing

id rather not jump into any conclusions about them as a person, but its a damn weird aand p cringy energy

"I'll write a whiny multipage diatribe to rage quit and insert a script to DDOS the instance that hurt my feelings. That's the behaviour of a well adjusted adult that's doing the right thing."

[–] M137@lemmy.today 12 points 16 hours ago

The disturbing thing is that a LOT of people are like this. The older I get and the more I see of humanity the more it becomes clear most don't mentally age past early teens and many who have big parts of them that don't age past toddler behaviour.

[–] volore@scribe.disroot.org 95 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Definitely the actions of a person who should be unquestioningly trusted to be the sole arbiter of determining what is fine and dandy and what goes too far on Lemmy. Totally not indicative of every legitimate concern that every single person opposing this brought up being accurate, surely not!

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 68 points 1 day ago (13 children)

My favorite reply from him when I called him out in a different thread: "why can't you just let people use their own computers how they choose"

I'm guessing he has never heard the wisdom of not throwing stones in a glass house. The cognitive dissonance is hilarious, though.

As a lemming, this whole drama is categorical censorial bullshit, but also peak comedy because the fuckwad got caught and publicly called on the carpet

As a software engineer, this is stupid implementation, because you can trivially make this a configurable blocklist of strings and regex. It never needed to even be an argument. Which of course means that it was never about the implementation.

As an open source enthusiast, take the software engineer response, but add: and he’s intentionally pushing his (visibly fucked up and warped) worldview and values onto users, and he tried to obfuscate it to be sneaky. That falls in the realm of malware imo - as in, intentionally mutating the functionality of a project with a specific intent of impact on users, and then attempting to hide the evidence. And then he got called out on it, and got super butthurt, and rage quit the whole goddamn platform.

TL;DR: Good fucking riddance.

oy vey-- I can be a real pill. but at least I can admit when I'm wrong. A lady/gentleman apologizes and exits stage left. One doesn't simply ragequit with a side of DDoS!

in all my years of slashdotting, Stumbling, Farking, Digging, redditry, and Lemming, I've never known anyone to go down this hard nor this bitter. WHAT A CUNT!

This beloved character's namesake deserved better

WHAT A STUPID ASSHOLE
