Tesseract Dev (AdmiralPatrick) RageQuits Lemmy with Final Goodbye Message (and hid a DDOS script on his page) - Sinistraverso
lemmy.sinistraverso.org> ### Bye > > > You crazies won and proved me wrong. The fediverse isn’t worth
saving after all. > > Over the course of the last several days, I have received
a constant stream of harassing messages, death threats, and threats of doxxing
over DM, Matrix, Github, and Codeberg. All of it instigated and eggged on by
another instance’s top admin. This is unacceptable for all of the reasons in the
world, and while I won’t give you the personal satisfaction of having won,
you’ve definitely proven me wrong about the fediverse being something that even
can be saved from itself. > > Even people around here I’d interacted with
positively for years and had grown to respect because they seemed level headed
and above the immature and sociopathic bullshit that dominates this platform
showed their true selves. That completely shattered any and all illusions I had
that this place has a hidden core of users that I should try to make more
visible amongst all the rage, rage baiting, propaganda, harassment, rumor
mongering, trolls, conspiracies, purity testing, and violent rhetoric. > > Like
many of the rational people before me who called this place home, I’m done with
this place. > > I tried to carve out a space where those people and other
rougher edges were not drowning out niche communities and hobbies and where
people who choose to use the platform to harass others were also out of sight,
out of mind. Apparently only three people who aren’t me actually want a place
that’s not just a circle-jerk of rage and hate. Thus sayeth the mob. > > Then
you have entire instances whose admins call for the death of others, harass
other users, and lead harassment, brigading, and DARVO campaigns against those
who dare call out their bullshit or decide to disassociate themselves and their
work from them. > > Lemmy.World was so close to doing the right thing after
instance-that-will-not-be named’s admins were calling for the death of LW’s
admins while spreading rumours and labeling others in such a way that painted
them as targets for murder. All of that, mind you, with absoultey no evidence
other than specuation and their own cooked-up conspiracies about modlog actions
or taking and twisting things wildly out of context to fit their made-up
narratives so they had someone to say they ‘caught’ and should be killed. > >
.world was on the precipice of doing the right thing and disaccociating
themselves from that psychotic shit show, but silently dropped the issue and
carried on as usual after wringing their hands for maybe two weeks.
> > “We have to worry about the optics or the politics of it.” they probably
said.
> > Bullshit.
> > I’m one person and have held my fucking ground, mostly with dignity and
grace, in the heat of my own shitstorm of trying to disaccociate from the
extremist elements of the fediverse. If I can stand up for what’s right and deal
with the blowback, so can you. > > Fuck lemmy world’s admin team for condoning
that behavior and letting the human skidmark db0 DARVO his way out of the
situation while brigading with his army of malcontents whom he wields like a
cult leader. He knows exactly what he is doing, and you all continue to allow
him to get away with it. > > Nah, fuck this whole place. I’ve let too many
things fall by the wayside IRL because of dealing with all this fediverse
bullshit and trying to give it the slightest bit of polish both visually and
atmospherically. Mythbusters may have proven that you can, in fact, polish a
turd, but at the end of the day, it’s still a shiny ball of shit. > > For the
few people left who didn’t turn out to be psychotic, I’ll think of you from time
to time when recalling something you’ve posted or commented that genuinely made
me laugh, made me think, or otherwise put a smile on my face or in my heart. > >
Everyone else, though, enjoy your toxic, xenophobic, knee-jerk-to-violence,
purity-testing, and harassing-anyone-who-doesn’t-fall-in-line cess pit. One day
you, too, will do or say something that doesn’t toe the line and you’ll be right
where I am. > > P.S. Rimu, you owe me a beer. No one is talking about the Piefed
vote quotas anymore, so you’re welcome. — — EDIT: forgot to add:
