Way to prove you were an asshole literally the entire time.

At first the douchebag tried to play it off like they were doing a good thing by trying to make the fediverse easier to navigate for newcomers.

…by DDOSing an instance? Sure, Jan. What a little coward.

Surely that is actually illegal in some places.

In response to this startrek.website defederated from dbo. Also weird how the framing of the defedederation lines up so well to what ap and Kirk would say.

If you’re not familiar with how Lemmy/the Fediverse works, basically everything you read at StarTrek.website is hosted by us, even if the content originated elsewhere. That means we are responsible for everything here and we have to decide if we are comfortable boosting content from other instances.

If you’re curious, the final straw here was learning that db0 explicitly allows hosting discussions about hurting people, which needless to say goes against our instance values and we simply don’t have the manpower to moderate that volume of content incoming from their server to a degree that we feel meets our quality standards, which left defederating as the only viable option.

In keeping in line with past trends we’re announcing this because is is a larger instance and don’t want to leave any of the crew confused as to why something may be missing.

How does dbzer0 end up in every controversy on lemmy ever?

Half the time they arent even the controversial ones in the situation

I am OOTL. Can someone give me a quick version of what's going on here? I saw that tesseract on db0 no longer worked and figured it was because they stopped developing it.

But it sounds like they continued and is now attacking db0?

Remember kids,

When everyone else is the asshole, it might be time to consider the common denominator

The link from which this is cross-posted has been deleted, I think.

Do we have fediverse historians writing this stuff down? I feel like we need a knowyourmeme for fediverse drama.
