captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoYeah meming on him was well and good, but threatening, doxxing, and getting into his messages was not cool.
We do have toxic elements here and while he was very wrong in how he went about it, a toxicity filter from a handful of trusted users that instances can easily apply (especially if it uses categories) could actually be pretty great for increasing accessibility for new people and improving qol for those who want it. Personally I prefer having access to unhinged lunatics like checks list …me, but I do think it would be easier to get people on here (and thus more content as well as less people on algorithmic socisl media) with options such as that.

I would hardly call you a deranged lunatic. In fact, I would probably call you “feminist sex history expert”, because that’s what I’ve tagged you as hahaha (possibly unnecessary clarification: it’s a compliment).
As for the Tesseract mess, while I do of course agree that doxxing, death threats and hounding in the DMs is bad and should never happen to anyone, I feel like at this point I can’t take these accusations from him at face value. He has already argued in bad faith before and come up short on receipts.
And yeah I agree that the biggest tragedy is that there is a place for a curated experience like what he was trying to create. It was just gone about in such a bad faith way, maliciously implemented and had a block list made by someone with deranged and probably outright homo- and transphobic views on what’s acceptable.
And also, hijacking other people’s PC’s to DDOS db0 on the way out is like, an actual crime in quite a few places.

Oh I absolutely took it as a compliment lol, weird feminist pervert nerd is a badge I wear with pride
And yeah I only believe it partly and even then because I’ve met the internet.
The DDOS however is fucking nuts. Going from “you’re telling people to send death threats to mr” [citation needed] to “here’s my open source cybercrime against you in retaliation” is fucking moronic. Real idiot crashing out move. Remember kids, don’t get tilted enough to openly commit a crime, if trolls are present that’s a goal of theirs
