I haven't seen a WebOS Homebrew group on Lemmy. I'm sure that they are but I haven't seen any discussions from them about this stuff. Actually I haven't seen anyone really talk about this and WebOS rooting together. People talking about the scandal seem to avoid discussing root.
Valve fanboys are a loud minority. Back before Valve was forced to implement a decent refund policy many of these assholes would argue against it and defend Valve's shitty policy. Obviously all those people went silent after Valve changed their policy but it's a great example of how their fanboys will defend them against any criticism.
I'm sure that admin is Admiral Patrick's alt. There are signs that they share the same sentiment as him. I kind of knew he wasn't going to just leave the Fediverse entirely.
Check startrek.website too. They defederated us immediately after banning someone who claimed to be an alt of Admiral Patrick. If their domain is less protected we might be able to bring him to justice over this.
Unfortunately he may not be prosecuted. Many protestware developers aren't. The developer of Node-IPC intentionally destroyed data on many computers with Russian and Belarus location data, including supposedly a few military computers, and he's unfortunately a free man. Didn't even get banned on Github.
It just gets worse and worse. I figured that the goodbye message he posted wouldn't be the end of it. Thankfully it seems to be down now so it's not causing harm anymore directly but still.
Absolutely. They terminated their instance claiming the fediverse is beyond saving. They're also claiming that db0 is encouraging harassment towards him and has encouraged harassment towards others. And the worst part is I don't think this is going to be the last we'll see of them either. They've said they would quit the fediverse before and they came back afterwards.
I recently found out Admiral Patrick made a response to this situation where he doesn't address any of the concerns related to censoring leftists and just points to the spam he included in the list.
It is a huge overstep on their part, and their reaction to the drama was extremely poor. Not surprising they ignored the accusations about blocking trans communities in their filterlist, as well as trying to censor leftists and leftist spaces.
I don't buy that his intention was anti-spam and I don't think we should give him the benefit of the doubt. He hid the commits knowing people would fork his repo and remove it, and also call him out big time for this if found out (what's happening now). He added spam lists for plausible deniability. So he could claim it's for anti-spam and so more charitable people would claim that as well. Not to block leftists and trans people which is what the main purpose is. As well as anyone else he doesn't like. It's structured this way so instances who use Tesseract also block these people he has a problem with without them knowing, possibly against their wishes since he put two lists in there, including one he can update on the fly, which is base64 encoded and compressed. I don't know how someone can look at this and claim he did any of it in good faith when he took the time and effort to hide it.

A burger on a bagel makes sense, not so much a burger on a doughnut though.
Nice to see Splatoon content on Lemmy. You don't see a lot of that here.
Might be soldered in but you can cut or destroy their antenna.
If you can you should talk about this in the WebOS Homebrew community so it's more likely we'll see apps and fixes for it on Rooted devices.

Very pretty dragon.
This is good, thanks for being transparent. It sucks when this has to happen.
Probably attention or an attempt at virtue signaling.
Fascists
I think it's clear that he needs the fediverse more than it needs him.

I knew the story wouldn't end with him taking down his own instance. Either it was going to be brought back or he had another one.

They definitely are. I think I saw one get banned in a thread here.
