Wow, this dev must be an absolute chud, in which case I'm honored to have triggered them so. Tongue punch my fartbox, loser.

PieFed does all kinds of stuff but I talk about it in public. e.g. https://join.piefed.social/2024/06/22/piefed-features-for-growing-healthy-communities/ Despite this I'm sure someone will arrive shortly to describe all the times I didn't document or communicate clearly enough.

Documenting your censorship, bias, and authoritarianism doesn’t really make it any better.

Basically you try to preemptively punish people who don’t go along with the echo chamber, putting a target on their back telling people to just block and ban them.

That’s incredibly unfair and childish. It encourages dog-piling and unfair bans.

The Admiral posted this to his com: https://lemmy.today/post/57096701 Pinned and locked it, too. Apparently nothing was blocked, you only need to enable "toxic mode" to see the banned content.

What a self-important moron. "I must be the arbiter of what is good and proper and what goes too far! someone has to!" yeah they call it curating your own fucking block list you fuckwit, doesn't mean you should be silently "curating" anyone else's. "But think of the poor normies who are lazy!" then they can go back to reddit. Lemmy will grow, and has been growing, just fine without your "help". "If you don't like it, don't use it!" Aha, finally, something I think the entire fediverse (save for his own little fiefdom) will be likely to agree on.

That entire post is indicative of someone too stupid to read the room and too stubborn to leave it.

Not only that but he goes out of his way to imply you'll be dragged into the troll pits if you disable the filter. Considering who's on that block list, his skin must be tissue-thin.

There's a user regex section for people across multiple instances, so: "^cheeseburger$", I guess that means all my accounts are covered 😄, but why? Who the fuck am I to this fool? What an absolute clown.

Exactly what I meant by "too stubborn to leave it". He clearly cannot have his fee-fees hurt or his positions challenged in any way at any time; and I would gently suggest that such a person should not be participating in social media in general, let alone a contentious corner of it like Lemmy. The fact he persists in trying to beat it into something palatable for the most bland of palates, while thoroughly Sisyphean, is genuinely funny -- it's that he feels the need to sneakily impose this on others, though, that takes it from funny and dumb to infuriating, fractally stupid, and malicious behavior.

Wheeeeeeee, I'm in the user regex! Why regex? I never used that name anywhere, could have added my user directly and saved some compute?

Yeah, they used a pattern to allow my username to be optionally followed by numbers and yet I've never had an account like that. Which gives me a weird ai hallucination vibe actually.

And that’s a large part of the issue. The frontend doesn’t actually disclose this blocklist at all. In fact, it actively takes steps to obfuscate things and make it appear as if the blocklist doesn’t exist at all. For example, attempting to view a blocked instance shows a generic network error, rather than a “this instance is being blocked by your frontend” error. And blocked users aren’t simpl...

Considering the amount of effort put into the blocklist by the Tesseract dev to keep it hidden, you would think they would have included an exception if it was running on a blocked instance to help keep it hidden.

Mine's on there as a regex, but encapsulated with string beginning and ending delimiters for some unfathomable reason. So I have presumably defeated this Super Sophisticated Blocking Technology entirely unintentionally by appending a penguin and a knife to my display name. See, I knew I did that for a legitimate reason.

I also enjoy that he basically says he's working on blocking all the dregs of society who cannot exist anywhere else online, as if to imply bans from platforms like reddit are typically just, and he also conveniently ignores that he likely was banned from Reddit in the first place, unless he left because he didn't like the same shitty culture that leads to banning people with non-fascist viewpoints.

He's obsessed with this idea of bringing "normal" people here and shielding them from anyone with an opinion about anything that fucking matters. Fuck that. I don't want the same people who have no issues with ice or trump in this space, nor do I want their supporters here. Let those assholes stay on reddit. He's acting like he's politically neutral in this way but from what I can tell that's definitely not the case just due to the vast majority of users here being on the left, if nothing else.

He's literally sought to neuter what is actually good about the fediverse. By silencing the people who are not okay with the world as it is...

And you know he gets a smug look on his face every time he adds a "toxic" item to his little blocklist. What a douchebag.

That's quite a leap from banning Nazi symbolism in usernames to an authoritarian regime.

Frontend with a pissy admin. Got it. I don't really understand why so many people are blacklisted by them, which is what kinda reminded my of the whole r/conservative thing - you'd get banned for posting (even in other subs) in a way that revealed you weren't in fact a neonazi. So, getting banned from r/conservative kinda became a rite of passage on a new account lol.

That’s not at all what Piefed does. The piefed dev is basically enforcing circle jerks and encouraging banning and silencing wrong-think.

Don’t give them ideas, it’ll be harder to find the next one.

I guess the lesson here is “compile from the source repo and code review before you install a new frontend”
