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.

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.

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.
