As part of the devs farewell message on their site, they have included malicious code to make each visitor sends 2,000 requests to the dbzer0 servers in an attempt to DDOS and take the instance offline.

    I could understand hardcoded blacklists if Tesseract were meant as a frontend for a Lemmy instance tailored for a specific purpose, and not intended for general use. But this, to DDOS a website because the developer is a whiny baby who can’t take criticism? This is a new low. This is disgusting, and damaging for the Lemmyverse as whole.
