  • Some guy made a UI for Lemmy, called tesseract. Then he hid secret blacklists within that UI which automatically blocked a bunch of leftist and trans content, as well as some generic spam stuff. Someone noticed that a trans community was blocked when accessed through tesseract, and so they did some digging and published the blocklists.

    Guy that made tesseract calmly and reasonably wrote a rambling “farewell” letter where he basically said we’re all insane and he’s done trying to make Lemmy a “better” place, and included ddos code within the farewell letter targeting the instance that first identified the blacklists.

    Now they’ve spent the last 2-3 days arguing how great the tesseract blacklist was under various alt accounts.



  • Pointlessly pretentious. Powered through the whole thing because it’s supposed to be good and. It’s not.

    Its like having a conversation with an idiot that think using exclusively polysyllabic words makes them smart.

    Also the part where all the highschool girls end up in relationships with 30+ year old men is certainly something.
