Just my opinion but it might not be that unpopular, who knows?

      The developer posted a farewell rant on their website, and included JavaScript to send like 1k requests to an instance he had blocked in the secret ban list.

      If you’ve ever seen a childish internet troll rant at being caught, then you’re already familiar with the post.

      Oh yeah, he slipped code into his site to have visitors query db0 a few hundred times. Real piece of shit behavior. And illegal.

      Why them specifically? Fuck if I know.

        Ah, I think from what I know of the rest of the incident it would be because db0 admins found and publicized the blacklist

          What a ridiculous response. And objectively displays their emotional stake in keeping their filter secret, despite repeatedly saying that it was never a secret.

          They’ll definitely return for “revenge” at least thrice more, and they’re absolutely sitting in a ball of stress for at least a week as a result of being found out and ostracized.

            It brings me great joy to think about the tesseract guy’s emotional state right now.

              Oh, they’re utterly pissed off and frantically bouncing between moral equivalencies all day today. No question. I was at least on the fence until the DDOS. That prick is torturously stewing in a spicy solipsistic soup and he deserves every second of it.

      Yep. The dev claimed that they were being targeted by an organized campaign led by dbzero. So he put a script on the website to use the vistor’s browser to attack dbzero.

    This was a guy to proclaimed himself normal, thought he was the arbiter of normality on the internet, wanted his place cordoned off for only who he deemed normal people. People like that on mod teams are why reddit subs were so easy for chuds to infiltrate and makeover

    I guess they forgot to remove him. If you look at his profile, it’s the only community left that he moderates outside of dubvee.

        That doesn’t sound like a normal mod. That sounds like someone paid to do a job. Like a disinfo agent manipulating information.

        Who tf had time for that?

          Exactly. Dude was running at least one instance, modding a bunch of communities, running a bunch of alt accounts, and building Tesseract with a super long and very specific blocklist.

          Paid actor or independently wealthy.

    I don’t think anyone other than Hitler clones should be a mod of this community. Change my mind or shoot my neck.
