      Oh, he closed the decade-based music communities?

    I’m a bit sad I didn’t save his unhinged rants where he made it clear he was trying to hide it. His alt has been going around screaming about how it was optional.

    Fucking malware, we should just defederate. Incredibly hostile dev and admin, the content on startrek.website just isn’t worth it.

      I got banned from startrek.website for saying the word “cunt” and I honestly haven’t even noticed anything missing since Ten Forward is more popular than that whole instance.

    I almost feel sorry for him at this point.

    Almost.

      Yeah much better for his own growth if he stuck around and holds his hands up to criticism

  Side note, I have a personal belief that if you don’t occasionally get a couple of downvotes, then you’re too agreeable, and you likely don’t think for yourself enough.

  You have to be comfortable in your own skin and think for yourself and say what you actually think in a public forum. Otherwise, what’s the point?

  Simultaneously, if you get tons of downvotes almost every time you post, you’re an asshole and you need to reevaluate yourself.

  If you occasionally get downvoted into oblivion because you didn’t express your thoughts clearly or because your thought actually is kind of fucked up, then you should keep that post visible and evaluate and learn from it.

  Sometimes 60 million people are wrong, sure, but also, sometimes you’ve not fully thought out your position

  But if everyone likes everything that you have to say, then how much of what you’re saying are your own original thoughts?

  And if you’re not sharing at least partially original thoughts, then what are you actually contributing to the forum?

    I wish I could find the person who downvoted this comment

    Good news. You can do that.

    tfw I’m on an instance without downvotes!

  • snooggums@piefed.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Agree 100% especially the leaving up stuff that wasn’t communicated clearly, or in some cases someone read something into it and everyone else just assumed you ‘really meant’ what they read into it instead of what you wrote. Best to leave it there to chuckle at how people tend to infer all kinds of stuff based on their personal experiences that you probably weren’t even aware of.

    It’s so much better if you hide the votes entirely. Then suddenly I don’t feel bad about getting 50 replies that say I’m wrong, because who knows, maybe 500 non-repliers thought I was right? I don’t know, because I can’t see! Haha!

  • icelimit@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Well I just down votes you to show that I both agree and can think for myself. Am I doing this right?

    • bizarroland@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      If you were the first person to do it, you might have been, but being the third or fourth person just means you’re following a trend. Think for yourself, bro.

      Wait, is it still changing from the 3761-line, 111654-byte file (SHA-1 400A59DA592B56D1AF50524C32C081497CFDA2D4) I downloaded last week? The dev is basically the only user of the blacklist-enforcing version now.

  Power doesn’t corrupt, it reveals corruption. For some people, it takes shockingly little power to go full mask off. This guy will probably go on to make some HOA legendary.

  • RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Disagree. It takes the reins off the easily corruptible. Once there are no or severely limited consequences for actions we get to see who people really are. Also it’s highly probable that the easily corruptible are drawn to power.

    Copy-pasting a comment I already made:

    Some guy makes a semi-popular front-end for lemmy. He then sneaks in a blocklist that goes unnoticed for almost a year. It gets discovered when he blocks entire instances from using the front-end by an admin trying to troubleshoot why the front-end won’t work on his instance. Drama unfolds but shit really hits the fan when it gets discovered that the major portion of the blocklist isn’t even hardcoded, it gets pulled from the devs own server. The dude made a centralized secret blocklist that he can update however he wants and people won’t even know they’re on it. He is blocking comments containing keywords, whole communities, users he doesn’t like, it’s wild. He can effectively shadowban across the entire platform (well everyone using his front-end) with no oversight, no accountability.

    People didn’t even know they were shadowbanned by him, no reason is given, no path to get off the list is mentioned. So now people are pouring over the list hoping to be one of the cool ones that got blocked (I was in the OG blocklist back when it was part of the code 😎) and are really fucking pissed off. So he throws out some long letters telling people he isn’t mad at all and the last one apparently contains a piece of code to make anyone who views part of a DDOS attack on db0, the instance whos admin first made this list publicly known.

      Thanks!

      Is it drama because the front end is really good and the dev turned out so tilted or just the drama?

    It was a frontend for Lemmy. The developer hard-coded blocks for instances, communities, and individual users that they didn’t like into their software without informing administrators running the software, and giving them no option to unblock any of those entities. lemmy.world/post/49778353
