The developer posted a farewell rant on their website, and included JavaScript to send like 1k requests to an instance he had blocked in the secret ban list.
If you've ever seen a childish internet troll rant at being caught, then you're already familiar with the post.
What a ridiculous response. And objectively displays their emotional stake in keeping their filter secret, despite repeatedly saying that it was never a secret.
They’ll definitely return for “revenge” at least thrice more, and they’re absolutely sitting in a ball of stress for at least a week as a result of being found out and ostracized.
Oh, they’re utterly pissed off and frantically bouncing between moral equivalencies all day today. No question. I was at least on the fence until the DDOS. That prick is torturously stewing in a spicy solipsistic soup and he deserves every second of it.
Yep. The dev claimed that they were being targeted by an organized campaign led by dbzero. So he put a script on the website to use the vistor's browser to attack dbzero.
This was a guy to proclaimed himself normal, thought he was the arbiter of normality on the internet, wanted his place cordoned off for only who he deemed normal people. People like that on mod teams are why reddit subs were so easy for chuds to infiltrate and makeover
Exactly. Dude was running at least one instance, modding a bunch of communities, running a bunch of alt accounts, and building Tesseract with a super long and very specific blocklist.

Every internet dorkass just has to make their own snowflake manifesto lol

Isn't that action both illegal and traceable?
Trampampoline@sh.itjust.works · 16 pts · 33d
illegal? Yes. Traceable? No.
His code was broken and it didn't actually work to ddos anything.
forkDestroyer@infosec.pub · 22 pts · 33d
For some reason that makes it funnier.
Gullible@sh.itjust.works · 56 pts · 33d
Oh yeah, he slipped code into his site to have visitors query db0 a few hundred times. Real piece of shit behavior. And illegal.
Why them specifically? Fuck if I know.
HuntressHimbo@lemmy.zip · 53 pts · 33d
Ah, I think from what I know of the rest of the incident it would be because db0 admins found and publicized the blacklist

It brings me great joy to think about the tesseract guy's emotional state right now.

You just earned a spot on the list buddy

Sigh. Must be nice.
I'm still trying to get on that list, Admiral cucktits.

I guess they forgot to remove him. If you look at his profile, it's the only community left that he moderates outside of dubvee.

What a giant piece of shit that guy is.
Abyssian@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 33d
I thought that little bitch quit Lemmy entirely?
harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 15 pts · 33d
He says he did. But he quit last year and came back two weeks later. Plus he has a bunch of alts on other instances.
ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 33d
That doesn't sound like a normal mod. That sounds like someone paid to do a job. Like a disinfo agent manipulating information.
Who tf had time for that?

Paid actor or independently wealthy.

Glad someome else sees that as a possible scenario. Since nobody else said anything, I was about to take my tin foil hat and sit in the corner alone.
harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 33d
I got you. I'll grab my tinfoil hat and join you.
idunnololz@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 33d
I'm confused. If I agree am I supposed to downvote this?
HubertManne@piefed.social · 10 pts · 33d
yes actually. the most unpopular opinions are supposed to rise to the top and the most duh everyone thinks that are supposed to get buried.
homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 33d
Yeah? Well, that’s just, like, your unpopular opinion, man.
VitoRobles@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 33d
Yeah. I think that needs to be stickied/pinned comment in every thread.
Zarobi@aussie.zone · 0 pts · 32d
That's more of a guideline than a rule
DarkCloud@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 33d
I don't think anyone other than Hitler clones should be a mod of this community. Change my mind or shoot my neck.

That's not an unpopular opinion! Oh wait- sorry. Habit.
