is THAT what “federation” means? Absolute power concentrated to the whims of a single entity? It all makes sense now.

Everyone knows a cornerstone principle of the Fediverse was that there should be secret ban lists baked inside of the website frontend that aligns to a single maintainer’s ideology.

The Fediverse isn’t about empowering users and local communities it’s about saviours making sure us savages get what’s best for us.

They are free to put whatever they want into their free software.
They are also free to be heavily criticised and ostracized for it.

Yes exactly BUT doing it secretly is malicious, abusive, deranged, and goes against core FOSS ideals
Theyre free to put it in their software but it shouldve been declared and documented not secret
But no then no one ever would have used it in the first place, a fact of which they were well aware

Yeah I’m sure he convinced him as elf it was for a good reason, and the idea isn’t inherently bad.
The primary issue is the clear intention to hide it. If there was a notice when you first accessed tesseract that asked if you wanted to enable “Toxic Mode” as he called it, or if there was some sort of indication when posts were removed by the filter, many of the complaints would no longer apply. The fact it was enabled by default, and hidden buried into advanced settings under a question meant to be ignored, located and phrased like the bullshit useless Windows Settings helper stuff, just means he never intended it to really be found. If you have to hide it because you know people don’t want it… You’re not on the right side of the issue.
The fact he also included a DDOS script in the good ye notice is just proof everyone else was right. He’s a piece of shit, regardless anything else. Only a true cuntwaffle does that.

Exactly, if he had made it public, perhaps even with a collaborative list, and with easy opt-in and out controls, it would have turned into a feature, rather than a mess.
I mean, look at uBlock or adblock plus, both support filter lists and it has turned into a massive selling point.
But he was too narrow minded to even consider that.

But he was too narrow minded to even consider that.
The biggest thing that exposes narcissists quickly. They can’t even consider the possibility that their opinion might not be objectively correct.

does it color your opinion any knowing that your instance had a similar start?

As long as that maintainer is me. I can’t trust anyone else to do it. But all you lemmings need to just blindly accept my ruling. Trust me bro.

I don’t block shit and I run wild. People that do that shit are lame unless you are being targeted. I will argue up to a point but like the sun worshipers say “pearls before swine” or the dead say “keep on truckin”

I browse all, and most of my blocked communities are either in a language I don’t speak, or communities I have zero interest in participating in.

Why are you spamming that reply to every comment?
I’m genuinely curious more than anything else
TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Its one of the random things Admiral Patrick banned or would put out you you on a ban list for. Also I was at the beach and had just drank three white claws and it felt spiritually liberating to post that while YET ANOTHER of my ops went down in flames.
