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
How many do you think he’s got? I swear I just found one called Eristalis created a day ago lol
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.
Pretty sure the dude saying how everyone who blew up over the shitlist was doing illegal shit is one too
Doing illegal shit is a requirement for being a human rights activist in the USA today.
always has been
looks like cardboardcruncher6400 is another, He’s basically manifestoing all over the shitpost thread
I’m losing count of his sock puppets at this point
there’s another one asking “reasonable” questions and claiming noscript blocks db0 (and intimating it’s therefore suss)
Just coming back to confirm that’s an AP account lol
That’s fucking hilarious, I called that shit within his first three comments on it
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 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.
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.
Lemmy’s origin story:
Or, frankly, because of the disagreements. Whatever bullshit you can say they pulled, at least it wasn’t, yknow, this.
Absolutely, well said.
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.
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.
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.
Can’t have your little kingdom when it’s not fractured from the whole.
I just think it’s hilarious that instead of “saving” the fediverse they fractured it.
I dunno. The fediverse seems mostly united against admiralpatrick and his alts.
Nah they sadly have world to fall back on along with startrek.website
This whole situation is bizzare
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.
Lemmy.world isn’t going to take action against his account.
Of course not. He’s basically jordanlund if he knew how to code.
Maybe he is Jordanlund, it’s certainly possible. I don’t think one could meaningfully prove otherwise.
Do you really think jordanlund would be able to stay away from this thread if it were him?
Who’s to say he hasn’t? Using alts is a form of engagement. Using his main account risks being banned for it in a lot of places, and that stops him from doing that smug confrontation thing he likes to do.
what ddos attack? link?
I mean, does it really count as separate drama or a continuation of existing drama?
Continuation for sure.
The whole “you violated our policy but we can’t tell you how you violated it” thing has heavy big-tech gaslighting vibes.
It even has the “here is a link to the entirety of our policy” trope. Like com’on, bruh, this is actually making me angry just reading it regardless of context.
I loathe that sort of shit.Smells like Reddit
That’s because they were the star trek mods from reddit pre-apicalypse. Not having duplicate communities in Reddit and all power concentrated into one mod group or even worse one person is what attracted me to Lemmy in the first place. Not all, but from what I’ve seen, former mods from Reddit tend to have the entitlement of my community should be the only community.
I made a single comment asking how someone can be anti-trans and a fascist boot licker but also a star trek fan.
Guess who I asked.
Thanks for asking. I have the same questions!
I guess we know the answer
that is a stupid question, but is ridiculous to ban someone for.
So you called them names and they kicked you to the curb? Shocking development
An old .world account that got turned on after Patrick had his shitfit, and defends Patrick. Hmmm…
He just can’t help himself! No matter how many times he says he’s quitting the platform, he’s back before you know it. It’s hilarious how transparent and obvious his alts are.
It’s one thing to have an alt, (I do, and I intentionally block my account and all politics/negative things to keep space, it’s more for looking at memes and making them), its another to pretend it’s not you and defend yourself.
The way he uses these alts is very Reddit-like, keeping them dormant until it is time to wake them up to sockpuppet. He has to invent false users to side with him because he’s utterly alone otherwise and he can’t handle it. Nobody else sees him for the last bastion of Lemmy sanctity and purity that he thinks he is.
How many differently named alts is it normal to have? I could accept like, one or two for safety reasons (never want to connect too much info about yourself). But the known ones (Admiral Patrick, ptz, Kirk) plus all the others who feel suspiciously strongly in favor of him despite being almost entirely inactive is for sure suspicious. Like… whatcha stockpiling all those for, man??
If you’re doing app development you tend to aquire accounts - straightforward things like testing interactions between users in different conditions means you quickly wind up with a spare heap of them. It’s why pretty much every open-source crashout like this has the same period of rooting out alt accounts and “randos” coming to defend a dev “they” like after being inactive for years.
I think by the time you hit 5 you need a long hard look in the mirror. 1 for NSFW stuff you don’t want to associate with your main is normal, 1-2 for breaking up information or other stuff. Then 1 more because I’m sure there are other reasons. But 5? What are you even doing at 5?
weird amount of those lately…
It’s not name calling when it’s what they do.
That was my first instance. Turns out it’s the star trek has gotten too woke kind of people running it?! Ah well, llap 🖖
I think they actually use star trek as a cover to find leftist and trans people to add the to their list
Report to your nearest Starfleet officer if you’re aware of anyone queer or has communist sympathies, Admiral Patrick McCarthy needs your support to Make Lemmy Reddit Again
Yeah, my opinion of leave other people the fuck alone was too extreme, got me on the list, which i found hilarious.
Yeah it’s a real shame that st.w is run by Section 31 and Admiral Leyton.
So when do instances start defederating startrek.website since they clearly want to be alone?
lemy.lol has announced to defederate 30 minutes ago and is currently defederated.
And much respect to them for how they handled this/themselves.
Glad I already deleted my account there. And blocked the instance.
Shame, but I’d rather not be around members of a fandom that actively support shitty and shady practices like that, and I sure as FUCK don’t want an admin that’s complicit
!Risa@lemmy.dbzer0.com for your meme needs
explicitly allows discussions about hurting people
Remember kids, wishing death upon mass murderers makes you just as bad as them actually.
Edit: to the coddled, enlightened brunchers incapable of reading the room, itching to have their righteous moment under my comment: next time the IDF starts randomly airstriking the shit out of my quaint little (Christian no less) town, I personally invite you to join me for coffee and contemplating mortality on my veranda. I’ll be so impressed by your opinion on the lives of the people who are dropping WAR ORDINANCE around you and consider me a terrorist because of where I’m from (and you one for sitting for coffee with me). It’ll be so inspiring. You’ll love it, I make decent coffee. Wouldn’t that be fun.
Someone should tell Star Treks “section 31” then :-)
Remember adults two wrongs don’t make a right
Memes aren’t facts.
I don’t know the exact scenario being referenced above, but personally I don’t believe in the death penalty for anything. I truly believe people can change and be reformed. Not that everyone will, but everyone can be. Death robs of any opportunity or hope.
I also understand there is a lot of nuance around this conversation. I don’t judge anyone for believing differently, as long as its for good reasons.
These cope huffing losers aren’t going to listen to reason…
Pure projection, Patrick.
Wishing death upon others makes you a bad person. People don’t like to be around others who wish or encourage harm towards others. That’s why dbzer0 was defederated and will continue to be in the future. Don’t like it? Grow up, and stop wishing people to die loser!
Just like Hitler, there are people the world would be better off without. Or are you saying you think Hitler should have been spared from his fate.
Hitler killed himself or would’ve been killed as part of war had he resisted arrest. Extremists encouraging citizens to murder people as an act of vigilantism is not the same as military actions necessary to win a war.
So being in a class war with the epstein ultra wealthy pedophiles that do terrible terrible shit everyday ruining the lives of everyone on this god forsaken planet doesnt count? Because if we dont win this war one way or another the whole earth is fucked.
So you think framing the current political climate as something it isn’t (a war) is justification to launch physical attacks on elected officials. Ok sure bud. I won’t visit you in prison though.
Even if you tried id deny seeing you. No one likes boot licking fascist simps.
Ok sure. Whatever you say bud. If me being against murder makes me a “fascist simp” I would hate to know what being against sex crimes makes me in your eyes…
Out of curiosity what app do you use? For whatever reason I’ve never been able to get .gifs to upload (work in comments) using Jerboa.
Boost.
GIFs often fail to upload due to size restrictions of the instances we use. When that happens, I upload to imgur or catbox and embed the link instead.
Voyager
I’ve noticed that when you copy-paste a gif it ends up with only the first frame as a still image, but if you actually save it as a .gif file and then upload it, it works.
This is with either the default web UI or Voyager, BTW.
You can just link to a GIPHY image using the !(link) markdown syntax.
Ex: Terminator
I’m not surprised. They were shit mods back on reddit and continue their shitty ways here in the fedi
I mean at least it is an instance doing the defederation and announcing it publicly (so people who don’t like this can leave). This also makes a great example for people who don’t understand the difference between banning lists in apps vs instances.
Is this the same Star Trek instance that had some huge drama with The Picard Manuever (? Maybe it was someone else?) that led to a user exodus? Or a different one?
Idk probably, the admins and mods over there are always power tripping about something.
There was also the whole Stamets writeup last year about their bs to
God, Stamets must be sitting there giggling into their icecream rn. Canary in the coal mine
No ice cream, alas. Wouldn’t mind some though. But giggling? Yeah.
Absolute legend, and a great guy!
Love ya homie <3
I always knew Stamets was a good egg.
We all knew Stamets was right just not HOW right
I mean I had screenshots ;_;
Obviously shopped to prove you were right since you didn’t have the evidence yet /s
Stamets! That’s who I was thinking of.
Damn, Lemmy needs a c/LemmyDrama comm, I can’t keep up
There used to be lore but they closed up shop almost a year ago iirc.
I guessed I’d be seeing something here with the bans and removals that started cropping up in that thread…
100% PTB. Just removing anyone who is pointing out that its related to tesseract, a total lie, etc.
What an asshole
Love it 🙄 Just deleted my account there, fuck those assholes.
Make you worse, you you wish death and they don’t wish it they do it.
Gonna need some clarification on that sentence.
They dropped the s off “makes you worse”
Yeah I failed a sarcasm… I wanted to show that wishing harm is seen as bladder than killing people
bladder
Oh piss off
;-}
Go to sleep, it sounds like you need it.
I’m probably bladder than you. Or am I? Wait, what does it mean?
I think he meant badder than anus people.
