The fact that it blocked instances yes, but the list itself was in for almost a year with no one noticing.

We were on a previous version, so that’s why. I think that’s actually what hypercharged this drama. If I had not fell back on my upgrade schedule for a while, I would have realized tesseract was doing blacklists early on, and the backlash was probably be orders of magnitude lower. But because he had time to build this up to this monster, when people discovered it, it was a huge deal.

The shadowbanning users was added a year ago 23 July last year^[github.com/db0/tesseract/blob/…/blacklists.ts], the switch to api came on 16 November if I’m reading it right^[github.com/…/1aeac6eea393a99e29e5c078e23a0259e2dc…], at least the harcoded list gets commented out 12 November^[github.com/…/9665782066f9153dda5d3b23585bfb770f1e…] so it’s around that time. dbzer0 gets blocked 29 April^[github.com/…/2b53f17a5506b7c4b3ad1d5c26af49662f03…]. I don’t know if you would have seen that warning that got added in 10 March^[github.com/…/773eabbaba903114518ad6ccb084d8397c7a…], but God knows how big the list got between November and March already with him just able to append shit to a JSON whenever he felt like it without having to commit it. Just copy-past done. So I think the fall-out would have already been plenty big lol

Hah so I went back in time to 29 April, that was a day after the whole nazi-fake, and you can see them ranting about the “crazies” even then

I’m so sick of the drama, the violent crazy people, the gaslighting, the DARVO-ing, the witch hunts, the conspiracy theories, the name calling, the purity tests, the finger pointing, and I’m not even active here that much anymore, so let that put the scale of this bullshit in perspective. > >> AN would like it very much pwetty pulease if they could troll users on other instances, > >That’s exactly the crux of their argument, and they refuse to even ask “are we the baddies?” and instead are DARVO-ing the situation and playing the victim.
also pretty funny in retrospect this comment of yours
ah if only we knew back then what we know now lol
