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.

    My favorite part of this was in the “elephant in the room” post.

    One of his faq questions was something about if the list is a perma-ban. His answer was somewhat incoherent but basically if you stop being toxic you can get off it. But nothing about how. So either he’s actively monitoring thousands of accounts that he’s also secretly hiding from everyone else, or we were supposed to, I don’t know petition him with our last 50 comments to prove we had changed and ask nicely to not be on a list we weren’t supposed to know existed in the first place.

      I did not follow this drama, and I don’t know about this list everyone is mentioning. Is this something that hides specific users posts and comments from the Tesseract UI ?
