As part of the devs farewell message on their site, they have included malicious code to make each visitor sends 2,000 requests to the dbzer0 servers in an attempt to DDOS and take the instance offline.

The author of tesseract hardcoded blacklists that targeted communities, moderator and phrases that were progressive or anti-conservative. These blacklists weren't editable by a user, not publicised, and not documented.

Users then starting posting how it explained why they weren't seeing that content as much. Then some users cried themselves to sleep because they weren't special enough to be in included in the lists. 😭

So they got called out for supporting fascists, took their toys home, and left a boobie trap on their website while crying to sleep at home alone, or maybe on the streets. I don't know or really care where they are crying.

    They locked out the entirety of blahaj and db0 and also the phrase "censoring me".

    They also had a violent objection to beans

    No apologies necessary, I know the gist of what's going on but not the details. This looks to be the start of it https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/72685299

    I didn't even know what tesseract was last week 😄
