But echo chambers are so comfortable and assuring for my weak persona.
As I gain a better understanding of how federated social media works, I just find it even more confusing. This dude appointed himself batman of lemmy, but he’s just a single dev of a single frontend. Don’t most instances have multiple frontends? Even if a secret block list was the key to getting lemmy to finally go mainstream (it’s not), implementing it at a frontend level is simultaneously both way too wide and way too small of a net. If tesseract was the only way anyone could access lemmy, maybe a secret block list could actually change the winds, but it’s such a small slice of the fediverse. It’s like if batman was only beating up jaywalkers and was like “You’re welcome, Gotham. The city is saved.”
What was the point of any of it? Someone was inevitably going to discover it was happening. There were so many people on the block list. Was he just going to personally defend against the ranks of people he found annoying forever? Keep adding more and more regex as the list grows to multiple thousands of users?They’re still on the platform, dude. It’s just one filter on one frontend. What the hell are you trying to accomplish?

You nailed it! The impact was minimal. Its so many stupid hoops to get to his frontend. The root issue was keeping it a secret. And that’s why everyone was clowning on him, with many users (myself included) wishing we were on that list.
Apparently that broke Admiral cucktits because his secret list of gay lefties didn’t make him as cool as Batman. It made him like… Ketchup man or some 4th rate villain with a stupid gimmick, who thinks he’s “protecting” Gotham by rubbing ketchup on all the street corners to stop robbers or some dumb shit.
How do we know if we made the list?
The bots agree with me so it must be everyone else that is wrong. /s
I forget where but remember hearing a story once. If I hosted a banger of a party and everyone passes out at my house. I wake up the next morning to see a giant shit log in the kitchen sink and Joe says Jerry did it. I might be willing to hear Jerry out. But if I got 10 people say yeah Jerry is the one who took a shit in your sink. Well I’m going to be making Jerry clean my fucking sink.

Can we just move on?
Or hear me out. This is a very insane and wild take. You don’t need to interact with any posts that annoy you. Keep moving on buddy.
you know, I said the exact same thing after several weeks of beanposting the first time, years ago, now I merely accept them as part of lemmy history; I suspect the same will happen here where “hey remember that guy who tried to play admin on other instances and got laughed out of the cool kids club?” will become some sort of in-joke
yeah, when someone starts being a shitass, someone can just call them Admiral and we can giggle and move on
I envy tesseract dev. Really. I have barely any determination and feeling of self worth; he had enough to cosplay head of house unmourned. Sadly for him, Lemmy knew how to kill a “god”.
i’ve personally slain bigger than patrick. [like, i’m sure we don’t want to get a thread of “what’s the biggest thing you’ve ever destroyed, please tell the story” because it would be utterly toxic and in the real way, not the patrick way} i’m sure most of us here have. “god”? please, let’s not feed his nor any other dev’s ego.
It was reference to game called “Morrowind” where main antagonist utters the phrase “I am a god. How can you kill a god?”. Felt it fit with how self-aggradazing was our dear dev.
Took a chance with that reference, lemmy being full of nerds and all that xD
Was listening to this while writing original comment lol
ah shit. i tried arena and it was not for me, daggerfall was not for me, skipped morrowind, loved oblivion and skyrim, but when i went back for morrowind games had developed too much and i didn’t finish it because of all the jank. loved what little of the story i got though. i got as far as custom spells.
Understandable. I am quite tolerant for old game mechanics myself, and actually enjoyed both Arena and Daggerfall. Played Morrowind, and had a disk format just before facing the big bad…
And forgot to make backup of this one game.
I could not make myself go through swinging sword at larva with missing_woosh.ogg in the background again to start anew xD
See this kinda thing is exactly why I’m still here. Some guy tried to use his software’s popularity to manipulate and censor Lemmy, and it had the exact opposite effect in the end. His software got immediately forked, most instances(that I know of) stopped using/supporting it and the whole thing is getting memed to death so now the entire usernase knows about it and can specifically avoid this guy and all the software he maintains.
When this kind of thing happens on a platform like reddit or some other closed system, we can often suspect and sometimes experimentally prove that some kind of censorship or manipulation is happening, but it is way more difficult to detect and there’s little the users can do about it.
Not here.
Here the users have the power, the knowledge, and the motivation to not only find problems like this, but to take collective action against them. You all have just proved it, once again.
Great meme!
Plus I get to trot this out in every thread about it!

I’m so happy I got on the list. If i can piss off one fascist POS a day, I am happy!
I’ve got a user @[email protected] doing the same thing in one of the tesseract threads, defending the tesseract dev, trying to say I’m calling for doxxing…by saying we should expose the actions of bigots like the Tesseract dev. Take a look for yourselves, only a conservative could be so low iq and determined, my god.
I tried to ask, imo in a pretty friendly engaging tone, what they meant with those accusations, and now apparently im under suspicion as well for asking question and disagreeing
id rather not jump into any conclusions about them as a person, but its a damn weird aand p cringy energy
That’s funny, because when I dared to question your buddy who made something easy to interpret as doxxing incitement against all “friends” of AdmiralPatrick, he started spreading my name around - including making two posts encouraging his mob to report me, and the comment you’re on.
Can you project harder?
bruh that shit is two whole days ago 😅 let it go
i finished a whole ass book since last we spoke this is so far from my mind
If your idea of “letting it go” is you admitting you have blatant double standards, and acknowledge exactly how your “friend”'s behavior appeared as a call for mass targeted harassment, then I accept your willingness to “let it go.”
lol, lmao even
keep em coming this is hilarious 🐸
The frog pairs nicely with the use of “low IQ” and “cancer” comments. But at least you’re having fun giving ammunition to anybody who wants to prove Lemmy communities harbor harassers while pretending they don’t see any.
Very curious reply from tutter…
in regards to your edit, i can explain that one as well. i dm’ed the guy because youve clearly got a grudge going. thought it only fair he got a heads up.
im assuming he then got curious and looked at my comment history 🤷♂️
… Because that screenshot was of a post two days ago, not today. But he’s completely right about who’s doing the sketchy voting today.

mmh delicious irony. Whos the one harassing who again? you, that tries to revive a dead disagreement, or me, literally just minding my business the last two days, interacting with you exactly zero times since?
How did you manage to jump to an entirely new thread about me within minutes to echo the same accusations as you had before?
Cause i clicked the link you sent me in your comment dude 🙄 not everythings a fuckin conspiracy, christ
The link didn’t go to the post you’re currently sitting on, @[email protected] . Since you have an unhealthy fixation on me, I’ll ask you politely to stop stalking my profile.
Did you know, that if you click on a user link, it takes you to their profile, which on the voyager app shows that users newest comment at the top?
Well know you do
the more you know
you can just block me if you dont want to engage ✌️
I do not believe the Tesseract dev did the right thing, but I also do not like you calling for mass doxxing of random people. I guess I’m part of your supposedly holy witch hunt now.
I see the problem, you see “expose the people who support this bullshit” and hear “lynch them” instead of “make a list of their usernames”
Big self report imo
hi patrick
Case in point. Please everyone report this dude. He thinks he’s so right but literally can’t say anything other than my username and doxxing.
Calling a human being “cancer” and calling to “expose the bigots friends” is not human behavior, @[email protected] .
I’m sorry you disagree with what they did, but this is just extremism that validates their point.
You really don’t understand how apostrophes apply possessives do you?
Nor what Sunshine laws are you dolt?
Amoebas have higher iqs.
Thanks for your IQ measurement, Mr. Charles Murray of Bell Curve fame.
I guess doxxing isn’t doxxing if it’s technically not criminal, which is how everybody (especially leftists) measure whether something is ethical.
Define doxxing. I’ve asked 4 times now. Define it.
Isn’t doubling down on stupid takes a big masculinity flex in 2026?
All the alpha males seem to do it.
Women do it, so nothing to do with masculinity.
Its just ego being hurt and both genders feel that.
The modern Mega-Toddler. All the behaviors of your average toddler, but in the body of a adult. It used to be an oddity, someone much maligned in the papers and film. Now it’s entire movement and even nations, with the prototype oddity suddenly running things.
Yup. The reasons for why can be discussed but I always point the finger at social media…
Making engagement the sole metric for success, no room for truth or reason or decency, definitely seems like a top candidate.
is that a new thing, it makes them look stupider for doubling down.
Not really, insecure people have been doing that for millennia.
Oh, egads! My Fediverse is ruined!
But what if… I were to censor it, and disguise it as a server error?
Ohoho, delightfully devilish, Patrick
I like that we all know who you’re talking about without naming names
Honest question, has he tried to defend the DDOS attack? Can’t imagine how one would justify that
I haven’t seen him acknowledge it yet
he’s still around? which alt is he using right now?
I’m watching two users that have been defending him while skirting around the actual problems. Right now, I’m not fully sure if they are alts of his. They aren’t active at the same time, as in one stopped commenting a few hours ago and then the other started commenting, which I find suspicious.
They’ve been called out as possible alts in this post and another tesseract post in this community. Neither have responded to the accusations though, which I also find suspicious lol
And he’s still made recent comments on his Kirk account
If this person is using alts and still commenting then they really, really need to touch grass. Thats gona be a fairly unhealthy psychological behaviour.
Patrick if you read this please actually give yourself 48 hours offline. Disconnect and go have a cuppa with a friend or family member (or both). You don’t need to talk to then about any of this, the rest of the world doesn’t know or care anyway. :)
Don’t worry about this cesspit, we’ll all be here being our lovely toxic selves when you come back.
I’ve just started using Patrick as an insult
It was especially stupid when everyone already was scrutinizing his code. Like users found his secret block list that was better hidden than this, and didn’t think anyone would find the ddos code? What a freakin’ moron.
The whole world is wrong in a lot of ways. Just not this one.
