    I don’t understand how Patrick hiding a DDOS attack in his “goodbye” message isn’t grounds for banning his alts on that server according to their policy. It literally is breaking the law in many countries

    Edit: for that matter, .world should consider the same for his alts there

      Lemmy.world isn’t going to take action against his account. They already don’t take actions against the no-content sockpuppet accounts and extremist trolls who use their instance. They should take action against them, they likely won’t though.

        Of course not. He’s basically jordanlund if he knew how to code.

      I just think it’s hilarious that instead of “saving” the fediverse they fractured it. Whiney bitches love to break shit then whine about it being broken.

        I dunno. The fediverse seems mostly united against admiralpatrick and his alts.

        I would say they’ve brought the fediverse together like never before. I don’t think this many people have agreed on a single thing in the history of fedi.

          It’s true, we usually spend most of our time hating eachother for not being the right kind of leftist. This has been a united front as far as I’ve seen.

          Agreed.

          It showed the broad spirit of the users, and that the fundamental nature of the federation design model… works literally exactly as it was intended to.

          Sure, you can be the petty tyrant of your own fiefdom.

          But no one rules everything, and anyone, at a comparatively low actual cost of entry, can make their own fiefdom, if they want to.

          Maybe we should all be thanking nutomic and Dessalines, regardless of any specific disagreements any of us may have with them, for doing the fundamental conceptual and coding work.

          Hell, it’s the first time I’ve seen everyone open to reasonable discussions of ideas like his in a long time. By setting up a boundary that everyone vocally agrees is unacceptable suddenly there’s a sense of trust that people aren’t all rushing towards it.

          I would definitely agree. Despite our differences, we all have one thing in common. We don’t like being deceived by those who build the frontends we use. We trust our credentials to these people and trust they aren’t going to screw us over. He violated that trust and people are right to be pissed about it.

        James R Kirk - he was posting like an impartial observer on Fediverse vs Disinformation @db0 in a breakdown of the ban list thread. Things like:

        The dev posted a response in c/Tesseract but you’re mostly correct. They wanted to make it easier for like minded future admins to be able to spin up a Lemmy instance without having to know all of the lore.

        Then when people called him out he started becoming a frothing troll.
