I asked to be added to the list
(midwest.social)
Luci
Ye Power Trippin' Bastardsand all I got was an unhinged message and a bunch of confusing bans a day later
Hah!
I just straight up trolled him on a few comms he moderates, and then blocked them, and then him, and then his alt.
"what are you gonna do, ban me?"
He can kiss my entire asshole, censorious fucking coward.
I play by rules when people are civilized.
Only, when people are civilized.
Wait.
WE CAN FIND OUT HOW WE GOT ON THE LIST?
I probably spell-checked some diatribe, and suggested being able to spell a word is a crucial requirement for convincing people of your authority in the matter. It's like how we don't applaud a tenor for clearing his throat.
Just to remind everyone, the list is an active and ever changing document. The list has been growing slightly every day, and if you use differential compare in something like Kate, you can see the changes when you download the json again. Guess what, you got your wish!
Well, I’ll be… I can still make the cut?! Yeehaw! Come on gang, let’s go fuck up a Nazi’s day.
Eh, I feel it's kinda cheating at this point. If I didn't organically make the list,I don't want to ask for it. That being said, those are my feelings and won't fault anyone for asking for the honor.
Yeah. You can't SEO into the list.
Oh yeah, see I’m not planning on straight up messaging them to get that ban. I’ll just have to proliferate a series of messages across various communities until the fascist sees it and has to deal with me.
Weird. Last time I checked they'd removed or made it private. Guess they don't care anymore that people can see it while also saying those who are looking at it are mentally handicapped?
Well if the followup doubling down post about the situation is to be believed, that basically is the case. The cat is out of the bag, and taking the filter down would allow "violent crazies" to impede upon the "Tesseract experience," after all.
There's been an another doubling down with an extra edit to double the downing: https://lemmy.today/post/57202811
The fact that they turned off commenting on it is funny. Like how much of a snowflake do you think it is a good idea to instead of using a block button to use a hidden code to force other users to follow your own thinking. How unsecured they seem.
Other folks' consent was simply less important than their need to secretly silence others with malware. The worst part about it is I could envision a plan where this list was broken up into various categories, and with a little bit of good rhetoric, could've convinced a percentage of people to willingly give them some control over their feed. It could've been fully transparent with some simple toggles, they would've got some power, and their reputation wouldn't be in the gutter. Not exactly the ideal person to trust to make your auto blacklist(s), but hey, that'd be a vastly different conversation than the one that's happening now.
Completely unsurprising they are still blaming everyone else and doing no self reflection.
Along with the only place they attempted to explain themselves was removed by a mod that seems to want to protect the person and or tesseract
Edit, oh and they've done another follow up post in response to continue anger at users for not liking the shit tesseract does
Along with the only place they attempted to explain themselves was removed by a mod that seems to want to protect the person and or tesseract
Where was that?
I'd link to it but don't want to give that comms mod more ammunition to ban, especially as it's their favorite activity in the news comm or when people are pointing out the comparisons between what's happening now in Palestine to what happened in nazi Germany.
We'll just say it's an apps comm in my comment history who is saying they only removed a thread there because too many people used the word nazi while the mod log reasoning was misinformation (because the dev restored or unprivated the git repo)
I've been trying to up my toxicity game lately. One day I'll get on that list too perchance 🥺? 👉👈
The question mark just means that 🥺 is optional
Luckily for those of us on the list, that SoaD masterpiece is from 2002 and thus outside of the decades we're not allowed to enjoy 😁
Again. This is a user who's said multiple times they're leaving lemmy and their instance is read only.
and is a committed dev because of that
This meltdown keeps getting better and better
I also had my, I think very measured, response to this whole thing removed
This is humble bragging
I'm not on the list with you all; you're all on the list me with me!
Omg I made it!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳
Welcome to the club!!
I guess I've been too apolitical, I'm sad to not be on the list.
I was semi-surprised to be on the list. I actually like the guys front-end and have no issues with him. But I have never ever in a million years advocated violence. In fact, I have spoken up against violence (and got heavily downvoted for doing so).
Obviously I'm aware that there was a huge misinformation campaign against me brought on by people mad that I support third-party voting in US elections (and they still do it!), but to see myself on a "violence" list is crazy. Lots of people have talked shit about me because I speak up against violence!
The list seems sorta random when looking at the names though. But hey, you speaking in this community just may get you on the list now! lol
Just using the word 'perchance' or 'beans' would get you on the list, lol.
I don't get the 'perchance' meme. What's the story behind that?
https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/mario-the-idea-vs-mario-the-man
You're not really missing anything.
Ha! At least now I know. Thanks!
We're at the point it wouldn't surprise me if simply saying nazis aren't welcome or it's okay to punch nazis in the context of here's the simple way to get nazi defenders to appear by saying this simple line was enough for them to put people on the list
Without the context of the DM itself I can't say PTB for sure. But PTB seems the most likely, given. You know. Everything.
Oh yeah no I was totally being an asshole to him
So absolutely in BPR territory, but also funny as fuck
Blocked from Tesseract and some lemmy.world instances. I fail to see the problem. Your fediverse experience may even improve in quality.
ask and ye shall receive 🧞
Most thinned skin faschy
Asking for a friend, which account should I dm to do the same thing?
Yeah no I ain’t getting banned from another community thanks
Okay, Patrick fucked himself hard. What he did was unacceptable, period.
But come the fuck on, there's absolutely zero reason to harass anyone, ever. Block them, ignore them, report them, but once you start bandwagoning someone, no matter what they did, you're an asshole too.
You know the old saying that two wrongs don't make a right? There's reason it's a saying. It's fucking true.
Just stop already. He knows he's now a pariah. This whole "look at me" bullshit of asking to be put on the list? It's fucking childish. This isn't just directed at OP, it's to everyone. The person at the heart of the drama had their ranting excuse post, and here people are making their point for them by being toxic as fuck. Grow the fuck up, people.
Besides, I think it rather obvious that Patrick is going through some shit. Has been for a while. I'm not saying it excuses anything, but maybe, just maybe, being decent human beings and at least just leaving them the fuck alone instead of fucking with them is the actual right thing to do here, if nobody can be bothered to reach out in kindness. Hell, I can't be bothered, I got enough shit on my plate in meatspace, trying to play support to a stranger just isn't in my reach right now. But I'm sure as fuck not piling on anyone.

Again, not that this excuses a block list like this, but they had made a post in the 30 Rock community about how their childhood friend is in a medically induced coma. I cannot remember if there was any follow-up, but they were indeed "going through some shit".

Agreed. Having been the object of a shit ton of harassment myself (along with doxx threats, death threats), I don't like the dogpiling.
I find it very ironic that many of the people who are bitching about being on this list, are some of the exact same people who fucking joined in on an old post saying I should be banned from the entire fediverse!! Just because I fucking voted third party and post news articles they don't like. 🤣 🤣
Patrick should have been more open about the list for sure. But I don't really hate on him for having the list. There are actually several instances that have me on a default ban list (Hi, Piefed and the other instances that have me pre-banned). People who are new to signing up on those have no idea that they can't see me.
So a lot of the posts about this tesseract subject drip with hypocrisy.
I'm on the list too, but I'm not gonna fucking send him DMs threatening him. That kind of toxic reaction is what drove him to do it in the first place.
I'm all for making light fun of the issue, but the threats are fucking uncalled for.
Active vs structural oppression. Why is one acceptable and the other not. They're currently using their position as developer to silence diverse groups of people.
As an example:
Fuck you asshole, why the fuck can't you learn to read and think?! Two wrongs don't make a right, get it through your thick skull.
Is that in any way acceptable? Had I said it for real, as an attack to you conflating two radically different things, that would be a shitty thing to say, and would make me an asshole.
But you are still conflating two radically different things. Maybe, if I said instead:
Look my fellow lemmite, what I'm getting at is that doing something nasty to someone just to be nasty doesn't change what they did. It does nothing to correct the wrong done, it doesn't even help the person being nasty, unless one wishes to also conflate being smugly self satisfied with being good for mental health.
This isn't some tin pot despot here. It's just a guy that made some software and doesn't want it used in ways he considers unethical. He did it in the worst way possible. Well, maybe third or fourth way possible.
There are many ways to go about handling that error. But there is no universe in which sending childish messages to harass the person are on that list. It's just an excuse for someone to feel superior by being shitty to someone. Justifying that by pointing to the wrong done is bullshit.
Do you see what I'm getting at? It isn't about what he did or didn't do. It's about what we do and are. Are you the kind of person that dogpiles hate and venom, or are you the kind of person that recognizes human error, finds sympathy and/or empathy to say "there but for the grace of the FSM go I"?
Me? I'm an asshole. It's a fact I've learned to live with. I have little tolerance for bullshit, and my filter broke a long time ago. That I'm the guy saying to chill out and remember that there's a human behind the error should frighten people into looking at what they're doing and why. I should never be the voice of reason in a community because I'm nucking futs.
What we should be doing, instead of sending shitty DMs with infantile virtue signalling is just let it fucking go. Block his accounts, communicate with one's admins to see if a fork is being used on one's instance, then either advocate for a fork to be in place instead of the shitty version or be prepared to move instances. That's it. That's the sane, adult response.
As a pure emotional outburst? No. As a response to someone who has openly refused to understand or acknowledge their abuse of influence. I can't blame them. If you want respect you show respect. Which dubs hasn't been known to do. I'm not going to @ them myself. But they've certainly soiled their own reputation.
Had the feature been opt in and transparent would this have been an issue? No. They knew what they were doing and obfuscated this on purpose. Further they've been unrepentant regarding it. Taking advantage to more or less be Shadow admin on the servers of those who run the front end.
I have little respect for the way the Lemmy devs run their own server. Among other things. But at least they keep their influence to their echo chamber. Unlike this.
you're the only one in the thread speaking sense and you're getting downvoted.
it's like reddit drama in the fediverse, lately. and it's extremely boring at this point.
Eh, I figured out a long time ago that people with a screen in front of them are prone to their worst, and will react poorly to having a mirror appear where they desire applause.
I'm only downvoting you because you downvoted me. But I agree with most of what southsamurai is saying too.
Okay
