  I’m having a hard time understanding the person behind this account. They called everyone names and continue to do that, but everyone else is toxic. I’m hoping this is a satire account, but I might be giving them too much credit.

    Seems like typically narcissist abuser behavior.

      It does have that vibe. They used to post stuff to get people riled up. I had a discussion about not removing one of their posts because it was homophobic. I’m glad I didn’t cave and that’s probably why I’m on the list, lol.

      That’s a thought destroying phrase “oh, this person has bad-person-ness, so that explains the fact that they’re a bad person”.

      Maybe narcissism isn’t this magic quality that turns people bad for no reason. Maybe effects have causes, and bad behaviour can be understood.

    He has an inability to take responsibility for his decisions when caught trying to control others, so he talks down to everyone else.

    His remark about disassociating, is a major characteristic of all dissociative phenomena involving a detachment from reality, which we are seeing above. He’s hinting that he’s still subconsciously aware of his mistake and is simply furious that he slipped up. I wouldn’t be surprised if he eventually decides to return.

  Oh… dear dear dear.

  Nobody … directed harrasment against this whiney and censorious adult pissbaby.

  It was spontaneous.

  db0 themself could have specifically messaged me, telling me something like ‘please remain civil in this trying time’ and i would have replied ‘lol’ and trolled this fucking idiot on his own boards, that he remembered to only secretly shadowban me from, but not outright ban me from… anyway.

  … is Admiral Patrick Star familiar with the phrase ‘become ungovernable’?

  Your idiot rules have no power over me, in this place.

  I obey only rules I find reasonable.

  … Also, how is a total retreat and defeat… not… giving us all the personal satisfaction of having won?

  That… makes 0 sense.

  He also admits this has taken away considerable attention from his IRL responsibilities.

  Actual flawless victory, lemmy, truly: bravo.

  Did…does he realize that he could have just made his own instance, and just not federated with the instances he doesn’t like?

  I… how… did he read the documentation… on lemmy? Does he know how lemmy works?

  I will never comprehend the sheer arrogance.

  Just incredible.

    He seems to fall back on the “death threats” claim regularly, as if it’s some kind of default. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any evidence presented to the effect that these purported “death threats” were ever real, or common, or an actual issue beyond the usual background level of Internet ribald. It seems like it should be a pretty trivial thing to prove.

    Come on, man. Post some screen shots. Name some names. Instead it’s all just allusions and stereotyping and fictionalizing and trying to paint entire instances or groups of people with a wide brush.

    Isn’t it a big thing that private messages and the ilk are not actually secure here and are theoretically visible e.g. to instance admins and operators? If said threats were sent between two .world accounts (and at least two of his alt accounts that I know of were local lemmy.world accounts) it ought to be trivial to verify these, yes?

    Actually, it’s been quite incredible to see just how level headed everyone’s response to this entire debacle has been, at least insofar as I’ve encountered. Overall people seem to either be bewildered or amused by their presence on his list, surprised by it’s discovery or baffled as to its purported necessity, or highly skeptical of its alleged purpose. But all of the tirades, rants, insults, and crash-outs I’ve seen have been only coming from AdmiralPatrick himself — not anybody else.

  • SuperNovaStar@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    I will say that it isn’t usually like this.

    I mean there’s always drama somewhere but this drama is especially big because a LOT of people found out all at once that either:

    1. their content feeds were being censored/manipulated without their knowledge

    Or

    2. They were being shadowbanned (either as an individual or because their home server was censored)

    by a developer who went to some pretty incriminating lengths to obfuscate the censorship he was baking into a tool that lots of people were using.

    Most of the time I look at my memes and the drama passes me right by. It’s there if you look for it, of course, but this particular snafu is a bit of an outlier.

    Usually, the drama around here is the .ml and .hexbear admins being high on some tyrannical echo chamber logic and banning people for suggesting even slightly that China’s not perfect. And that’s pretty distant from .world and sh.itjustworks, and everywhere else. About as notable as your neighbor a couple blocks over getting into beef with the neighbors’ kids. Background noise at best, and barely relevant.

    This is new, unusual, and definitely a one-time deal. Dude was a conservative who secretly made a tremendous blocklist of most of the people here who’d ever said anything critical of conservatism, and plugged it into the front-end app he managed without telling anyone. Literally was secretly censoring a massive chunk of the userbase. His secret blocklist got published, and those of us who managed to get on it have been patting each other on the back because we made a Nazi mad.

    And now he’s throwing a big old tantrum because he got caught.

  Hey dipshit.

  The entire appeal of the fediverse is a realm of the internet free from corporate autocracy, government censorship, and the massive wave of anti free speech that has hit the internet like never before. You tried to use software various communities relied on to censor speech you didn’t personally approve of.

• PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@anarchist.nexus ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  Over the course of the last several days, I have received a constant stream of harassing messages, death threats, and threats of doxxing

  If you actually got death threats and threats of doxxing, that truly sucks and shame on people who took this that seriously.

  Even people around here I’d interacted with positively for years and had grown to respect because they seemed level headed and above the immature and sociopathic bullshit that dominates this platform showed their true selves.

  Or maybe you were just wrong, dude.

  Like you developed a frontend. If you just blocked people from your instance we wouldn’t have batted an eye. Your job as a frontend developer was to choose how information was packaged. You should not have been deciding for users who they would or would not be allowed to see. And if you really felt strongly about the need for a blacklist, you should have made your filters opt-in.

  Then you have entire instances whose admins call for the death of others, harass other users

  Yeah it’s crazy how liberals call for the deaths of billions around the world by supporting the status quo, which kills countless people and is currently dooming almost all life on Earth to climate disaster. That’s why I’m on Anarchist Nexus, whose admins and users (me lol) have called for the killing to stop by any means necessary. (Pretty sure Admiral Patrick is referring to us specifically as the instance-that-will-not-be-named.)

  I know that liberalism is the monoculture in the West, but you must eventually learn that (1) liberalism is not the default mode of existence, and (2) liberalism is violence. Liberal democracy is violence. It’s probably the most violent system currently in existence. And I don’t know how to make that an easy lesson for you to learn, but if you’re unwilling to do the work to undo your liberalism, the rest of the world does not have the time to wait for you.

  One day you, too, will do or say something that doesn’t toe the line and you’ll be right where I am.

  Good, if I ever become as libbed up as you then I deserve to get banned.

  You crazies won and proved me wrong. The fediverse isn’t worth saving after all.
