Context: Admiral Patrick replied and included this gem:
And might I add that not one person complained until db0 went internet Karen with his hissy fit because I took his toy away from him.
“Not one person complained about my explicitly obfuscated blacklists! Damn internet Karens making a big deal!”
/> doesn’t tolerate transphobia and hate
/> proceeds to ban the entire blahaj instance
Wat
Tells me they’re only cool with the trans folks who shut the fuck up and don’t make him feel any cognitive dissonance over his political fee-fees. Poor wittle baby.
This has been hands-down some of the best drama I’ve seen on the Fediverse. I assume there’s some sick part of my brain that just loves it when someone doubles down on a bad decision.
Why is Admiral Patrick complaining? Just put all the complainers on the list. Problem solved /s
He probably will. He’s still updating the list. Not like it matters much since most instances are likely going to delete Tesseract or use db0’s fork once they get wind of this.
That’s the joke :)
But I get the feeling that he wants to be right more than anything
That post max crash out. Homie included a way to turn it off like a company hiding the cancel subscription options and expected everyone to love it. Like bro if you want to filter everything out thats what your block list is for. Also, he plainly did not mention why it was obfuscated to such a degree and acted like it showed you everything.
And he called it the toxic filter. Like, dudes higher on his own farts than I am on mine. That is hard

I finally found myself but I honestly feel like this is a list of frequent users more than anything.
It does raise the question of what’s left once you’re done scouring out all the shit you don’t like.
I occasionally visit in incognito to see what I’m missing. And I’ll admit… mostly bad memes and reactionary hot takes. But I’m blocking maybe a dozen channels and twenty odd users. This block list goes into the 3k range.
In my experience, once you get rid of all the people who are willing to voice a unique opinion, the people who are left are the ones make superficial one-liner puns. One of the great things about Lemmy is it’s usually a discussion, not just an upvote race like Reddit is.
yeah, when i started using lemmy i started blocking every chungus i disagreed with. then i realized i’m a pretty big chungus myself on a bad day, and there’s like a hundred of us who use this regularly. if i block someone who’s just having a bad day that’s diminishes the experience here, but if i block someone who’s always having a bad day (i’m not naming names, but there are a few) it improves the experience.
i think i might have fifty users total blocked (mostly bots and trolls i hope), and i’ve added maybe ten in the last year. 3k is just stupid.
Maybe he wants to see no comments at all on lemmy
deleted by creator
no no. he “compressed it for efficiency” /s
but really, he said that.
fucking dumbass.
Hmm,
"https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/fediverse_vs_disinfo", "https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/flippanarchy", "https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/gestapo_usa", "https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/leftymemes", "https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/libjerk", "https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/politicalmemes", "https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/politics",
He’s now calling you and all the other communities and instances unstable like matches…
My guy is straight up delusional. He really ought to touch grass and come back next year when most people will have forgotten him
smart people would just shut the fuck up and walk away.
I’m glad he’s dumb as a box of shit.
“Enable Toxic Mode”… lmfao!
My discussions since joining Lemmy & dbzer0 specifically are so much higher quality than when I used Reddit. People aren’t calling each other stupid, and real discussions seem to be had from both sides of different topics. Maybe the instance I’m in is just well-moderated but I can’t see how this community could be considered toxic or put on a blacklist by anyone other than those who are ignorant and judge books by their covers.
Some scary words for Patrick (cover your eyes): Anarchy! Transgender! Leftist! LGBT! Equality!
You might have missed the troubles, a period when squid was still active and being anti Zionist could and would get you banned across whole instances where pointing out that Joe Biden was clearly losing in their race to be president would result in a several week ban for some of the most important and critical members of the community. The petty authoritarianism really can’t be dismissed, and it’s probably the most important issue facing the project currently.
I call people on reddit stupid all the time, but that’s because there are genuinely a lot of stupid people on reddit who appear to be ignorant of their predicament. Unfortunately I only have so much time in a day so the vast majority of stupid redditors carry on blissfully unaware.
People aren’t calling each other stupid
Uhh, what? Did you even read the comments on this very post?
Consider the possibility that you’re in a bubble made out of titanium when you’re here.
That’s crazy, one random comment out of a hundred?
What kind of moron do you have to be ah wait you got me now it’s one out if fifty!
Yeah okay I take back what I said, people only get called stupid if they deserve it lol
Instances should detect when tesseract is the client and return nothing but a fake post explaining why it sucks.
No one complained about all the kids I raped until they knew about it! - Trump
Imagine being so ultra-butthurt that people found out (and are upset) you were trying to manipulate them.
He would have got away with it too if it wasn’t for those meddling Karens
"I’ve got four years good conduct I have - "
“No, that was four years Not Found Out”, said Vimes. “Clear off.”
There’s a really good reason why the fediverse is designed with public mod logs, and I imagine the motivation for creating these tools for blocking/hiding/burying content on the frontend is to get around the accountability that public moderation logs enable.
I imagine that is also why some of the first communities AP blocked were mod abuse forums.
As ever, scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.
That’s going in the Book…

Ha! What a white knighting tool bag
