Now, thanks for the dev for last few days of engaging content.
I’ve been alive for more than a half of an average lifespan already, and working over 20 years I’ve met guys and gals who have not had the ability to read or predict social cues nor understand how some acts will look like for outsiders.
My own kid is on the spectrum with a diagnosis so I’ve read and studied quite a bit on the matter. This might sound harsh, but in the long run I think telling the truth will help the guy. I guess the dev in question here is either young or on the spectrum. Both are alright and we all make mistakes.
Censorship because people dont fall in line with your expectations or beliefs is not right. You will learn that along the way. I was more black and white, right or wrong 20 years ago. Getting married, travelling the world, having kids will even out straight edges. You will find grey between the black and white.
Just walk away if the internet feels too burdensome. Open source is absolutely great, but dont forget that people on the internet are clever, and sometimes even more clever than you, or me for that matter.
Kind of funny to be on the exclusive list. If you dont feel right apologising, thats alright. And even if you dont want it or need it, I still forgive you for trying to censor me.
Just remember though, shitposting is forever.

Definitely, even if old and neurotypical, we all make mistakes. And that’s okay.
I’m not sure how much of a mistake this was, though. Why would they hide the banlist in such a way if they weren’t worried about social repercussions? Wouldn’t they just proudly announce it as a great new feature, especially if they lacked social tact? It seems to me the only reason to obscure your actions like this is precisely because you’re worried you might stir up a shitstorm.
But maybe there’s another explanation for hiding the list that I can’t think of.

He claimed to know his banlist would cause a shit storm, but thought that by the time it was discovered people would have already preferred his curated, quiet version of Lemmy.
That’s why he’s been so damn mad about this, he doesn’t have an adoring legion of fans smoothing things over right now. And to add insult to injury, the person who found it so quickly happened to be a person the Badmiral already had beef with

Ah, I didn’t know he had explained that, thanks. That’s a very manipulative way to go about things. Glad it was discovered.
