And let your instance admins know you’d like them to defederate! There’s a good chance they might also want to but don’t want to force the decision upon their users.
My instance defederated both Hexbear and db0 and it’s crazy how much more emotionally mature the vibe is without those users.
I think their instance admin was the guy behind the tesseract scandal a few months ago, might want to look into that if you haven’t heard of it.
Basically snuck a hidden blob into a “small” update that shadowbans a bunch of users and keywords. Doesn’t sound that bad on the surface, but the implementation was really shady, the blacklist itself was sloppily constructed, and the way he handled the fallout when people called him out on it was really immature.
If I have this confused with a different instance, then my bad. I think he’s involved with sh.itjustworks at a fairly high level too though.
There’s a couple graphics floating around somewhere mapping defederations of major instances if you want alternatives. I’ll see if I can dig them up.
Dang I knew this was a honeypot thread I didn’t realize it was for THAT.
I’m still upset that you guys managed to sucessfully bully a developer into deleting his (free) project (that had like 10 users), because now his blocklist has to be rebuilt manually, thankfully so many of you out yourselves and make it easy to report.
Oh, you’re the guy I was talking about? Hahaha, I didn’t even realize, but now you’re glowing.
You reported me for an objective delivery of the facts, as I understand them? Sure, don’t care.
Next time be more honest about the diffs in your “free” software updates, and handle things a bit more maturely when people take notice of the unethical payloads you hide behind “security patches.”
If telling you that is “bullying” you, then you need thicker skin. In fact you’re suspiciously bordering on DARVO, a common tactic among narcissists. (Not calling you a narcissist, by the way. Just pointing out how your response resembles how one would react).
Oh by the way, did I just make the tesseract ban list? If so, I’ll consider it an honor.

Putting your instance on highest ranking if I plan to migrate.

If I was the guy do you think I would let you Kiwi Farms jerks know my new account?
What the hell is kiwi farms?
And yes, probably, because as the instance admin you can make as many sockpuppet accounts as you want.
Not that you’re outting yourself on purpose or anything…
I’ll look into, thanks
Not a priority but have thought about migrating.
I found this one. I thought I had the other one too but I must have forgotten to save it. But anyway here you go:
The pissbabies took offense to your comment.
