Honest question, has he tried to defend the DDOS attack? Can’t imagine how one would justify that
I haven't seen him acknowledge it yet
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 like that we all know who you're talking about without naming names
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
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.
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. ✨
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.
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 to do , 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.
Everyone’s wrong sometimes that’s just the stale croutons in this human ceasar salad they call “life”. It takes a special kind of grit to be such a massive dog-rocket when your wrong tho
puts "dog-rocket" in purse for later use
Be careful where you use that it may bring unwanted attention
Takes a narcissist
"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."
Dont forget locking the post so no one can comment and call you out
Then coming back to argue on alts
Yo really, is he actually doing that?
Was as of a few hours ago, I haven't been on since then
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!
