I got here in june, I was on the list and that was the first I’d heard of that guy. What’s his name again?
I’m new too, also on the list. Guess cool kids now?
AdmiralPatrick
thank you but I was kind of being rhetorical. upvote for genuine helpfulness though!
I’m so happy I got on the list. If i can piss off one fascist POS a day, I am happy!
The most dumbfounding thing to me is that the list isn’t even base64 encoded. Its just sitting in the repo plain-text. I can’t decided if its laziness, a lack of data integrity standards, lack of imagination, or if he wanted all this drama one day.

Rorschach was a principled man of strong morals I feel bad for everyone misunderstanding him.
He’s a great comic book character, but a lousy role model for “they’ll beg me to save them, and I’ll whisper ‘no’” narcissists, unfortunately.
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.
Hello there, fellow Culture enjoyer.
The absolute cherry on top for me was the trigger: a good old-fashioned post upgrade debug session. Your TL;DR ++
Your instance admin(s) found it upgrading your instance right?
He wasn’t actually a part of that debug session, or was he?
So the story goes, I wasn’t there to check it. I guess it doesn’t really matter, but I can appreciate a bit of poetic justice when I see it.
I identify as a General Systems Vehicle, and I appreciate your support <3
Valid as hell. I shapeshifted into a GSV in the astral plane once or twice. My polycule thought I made a very attractive GSV.
You should know about !transspecies@lemmy.blahaj.zone.
He even tried to wash it off with “but there is a setting to disable it, just navigate 32 sub menus and click toxic mode” and never addressed the fact that his software would hide the shit behind a “technicall issue” excuse
Did anyone bother to check if that “toxic mode” even existed, or existed prior to the jackass getting caught?
It only worked for one of the lists, not the other
Tbh, doesn’t matter.
Dude clearly designed it to be included in his releases in a difficult to detect fashion. That’s “malicious developer” behavior.
In the context of OSS, you design <thing> to do <function>, and you set things up to allow users and implementers to customize it as they see fit and necessary. Intentionally hiding opt-out mechanism - let alone shipping with shit you want or need to opt out of is very much a big tech bullshit tactic, and OSS devs who do that are objectively caustic OSS devs. Dude tried to foist his views and sensibilities onto everyone who used his shit in a very, very sneaky fashion
It’s correct and appropriate that he got blackballed from the community.
Maybe he was trying to get a job at Microsoft and showing off his relevant skills.
Should’ve done it on reddit then, he would’ve got so many more people shitting on him
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.
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

Cause i clicked the link you sent me in your comment dude 🙄 not everythings a fuckin conspiracy, christ

Did you know, that if you click on a user link, it takes you to their profile, which on the voyager app shows that users newest comment at the top?
Well know you do
the more you know
you can just block me if you dont want to engage ✌️
stalking… fucking lmao dude. Looking at ANOTHER users commrnt history is stalking, and merely saying the word ‘expose’ is doxxing
👶🧠
edit: oh i see how it is. You can harass users all day long but as soon as someone actually backs you into a corner regarding your antisocial behaviour, oop suddenly the coward disappears and if i press for answers, im stalking and harrassing.

hi patrick
Edit wait is that all it took for them to chickenshit away?
Case in point. Please everyone report this dude. He thinks he’s so right but literally can’t say anything other than my username and doxxing.

You really don’t understand how apostrophes apply possessives do you?
Nor what Sunshine laws are you dolt?
Amoebas have higher iqs.

Define doxxing. I’ve asked 4 times now. Define it.
I see the problem, you see “expose the people who support this bullshit” and hear “lynch them” instead of “make a list of their usernames”
Big self report imo
Just here to point out that GodlessCommie, the sole active mod of Late Stage Capitalism is one of these losers, making the sub his own personal crybaby safe space.
Isn’t doubling down on stupid takes a big masculinity flex in 2026?
All the alpha males seem to do it.
Women do it, so nothing to do with masculinity.
Its just ego being hurt and both genders feel that.
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 movements and even nations, with the prototype oddity suddenly running things.
Yup. The reasons for why can be discussed but I always point the finger at social media…
Making engagement the sole metric for success, no room for truth or reason or decency, definitely seems like a top candidate.
is that a new thing, it makes them look stupider for doubling down.
Not really, insecure people have been doing that for millennia.
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
I like that we all know who you’re talking about without naming names
Frankly, my own block list is huge. Mostly keywords, very few users. I would recommend it to everyone. Any social media is unbearable without blocking shit out. Everyone should personalise blocklists to their tastes.
But you can’t make this decision for people. This is why I also don’t like that some instances defederate a lot of other instances they don’t like (and no one tells newbies). There’s a niche for pre-populated block lists that are available and curated and transparent (like for ad-blockers).
Yeah I think sharing them is a great idea as long as people can opt in or out. Respect people’s agency.
I personally don’t block anything that isn’t already blocked by my instance.
Honest question, has he tried to defend the DDOS attack? Can’t imagine how one would justify that
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.
I haven’t seen him acknowledge it yet
he’s still around? which alt is he using right now?
I’m watching two users that have been defending him while skirting around the actual problems. Right now, I’m not fully sure if they are alts of his. They aren’t active at the same time, as in one stopped commenting a few hours ago and then the other started commenting, which I find suspicious.
They’ve been called out as possible alts in this post and another tesseract post in this community. Neither have responded to the accusations though, which I also find suspicious lol
And he’s still made recent comments on his Kirk account
I’ve just started using Patrick as an insult
If this person is using alts and still commenting then they really, really need to touch grass. Thats gona be a fairly unhealthy psychological behaviour.
Patrick if you read this please actually give yourself 48 hours offline. Disconnect and go have a cuppa with a friend or family member (or both). You don’t need to talk to then about any of this, the rest of the world doesn’t know or care anyway. :)
Don’t worry about this cesspit, we’ll all be here being our lovely toxic selves when you come back.
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
And to top it all off, startrek.website is going to defederate from db0 for TOTALLY REAL REASONS that aren’t just being a salty little bitch. They just can’t show you proof, cuz it’s doxxing.
is it really website about trek, or is it twisted version of trek? like how LOTR has been twisted by a certain individual who is obsessed with it.
What does startrek website have to do with this though?
I’m fairly sure that’s his personal instance.
There’s not much in the way of sane reasons to go from inactive to suddenly having an admin call out censorship being the ‘last straw’ causing the defed and refusing to show proof because “doxxing”.
I thought its dubvee org? Startrek website was/is a legit instance, a shitty one but legit.
Get used to it.
Anyone with a Claude Code account can spew out a Lemmy (or any other service) client and make antisocial changes and dump it in the App Store. ✨
