What a loser.

Yes, developing FOSS can be a very thankless job. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having political disagreements with people.

BUT, not having explicitly disclosed client wide blocklists is such a shitty thing to do. The fediverse is supposed to be FREE from shadowbans and secretive political manipulations. And the DDoS script? Ew.

While this person definitely doesn't deserve death threats, they definitely deserve all the bullying directed at them.

    While this person definitely doesn’t deserve death threats

    He lied about everything else, so his claim of death threats is likely more manipulative bullshit.

    Sorry, but despite how despicable his actions were, that's definitely 1 thing I can believe

    Well he's one of those who gets butt hurt when someone write "Death to Zionists" and immediately goes "is this an attack direct at me?"

    Are you saying he wouldn't have gotten any direct death threats during this whole ordeal, from anyone?

    I'd say (different person) it's just not relevant. It's cry-bullying.

    If he wants to show evidence, he can. But even then, he ought to be showing it to mods or something—what are we supposed to do about it? Are we suddenly not upset about the secret ban list?

    Anyone with a touch of fame, caught in a scandal, loooves talking about the alleged violence of their opponents. Do you remember when BLM was happening and Fox was pretending that the entirety of Portland was on fire? Or literally anything Isreal has said about Gaza?

    I don't actually know that he hasn't received one, single death threat, but since what he wants is sympathy for his crimes, I'm inclined not to give him any.

    Why can't we be upset and admit he very likely got death threats? I'm not giving him sympathy, he doesn't deserve it. I'm not sure why such a simple thing can't be admitted to be feasible? Again, they did something terrible and the gravity of what they did can invoke these kinds of messages.

    I do admit that it's feasible.

    But, considering it has very little to do with the matter at hand, why bring it up? Why bring it up in this way? Why suggest that we and them are in league with each other?

    Also, "do you condemn hamas?"
    "Do you condemn hamas?"
    "Do you condemn hamas?"
    "Do you condemn hamas?"
    "Do you condemn hamas?"
    "Do you condemn hamas?"
    "Do you condemn hamas?"
    "Do you condemn hamas?"

    Someone said it, I replied, not my fault I have to iterate a simple idea.

    It's like those guys who were looking to be lifetime appointed judges but couldn't bring it over their lips to say Biden won.

    It's a stupid discussion, I give you that.

    I mean, the internet is the internet. I don't doubt there could be some death threats, but I also doubt most folk here would send them. Like, a lot of us have lives

    most

    This is the important word here, since it really only takes one or two people sending them for someone to say they've received death threats.

    Yeah, exactly, seems almost like a controversial thing to say that there are people sending death threats and harassments. I know it's not the majority doing this, that would be preposterous to suggest, but unfortunately there is a loud enough group of people going after this person. Not condoning what they did, which is wrong on many levels, they clearly have some issues and apply mental gymnastics, but death threats? Come on, we're better than that.

    Report the repo for malicious activity and don't use it. Name and shame of you will, threatening death is something else. That's all I'm saying.

    The hidden blocklist was a shitty thing to do. But the final DDOS was just fucking immature and petty. Any high ground he could have possibly claimed was just completely nullified with that move.

    I understood the sentiment of wanting to remove drama. But you idea of drama is not everyone’s idea of drama. Had he made it a feature, documented what it was, who was on it, and why he thought that, it might have been a blip. But the whole way it was handled just screamed fascist to me. Oh well… bye Felicia.

    In an environment with repeated interactions, the winning strategy in game theory has always been a tit for tat strategy.

    "When they go low, we go high" is just virtue based jerking off.

    While this person hilariously failed at what they were trying to do, it still doesn't make what they were trying to do any less nefarious. Them getting bullied and laughed off this community is funny and also necessary to ensure that such actors don't rise without fear of consequence.
