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.

I still don't know what Tesseract is, but I take it's not something I'd want to use.

It's a regular solid consisting of equal length vertices at 90 degree angles across 4 dimensions

Also a lemmy front-end that got too big for its britches

"Apparently only three people who aren't me actually want a place that's not just a circle-jerk of rage and hate."

I think this is the best part of their message

I'm somewhat ok with catering to a political filter in an instance/frontend, even if I prefer open inclusion. But DDOSing anyone in fediverse is bad/unacceptable.

I wasn't on the list but I feel included now. Thank you deranged manchild of the fediverse.

I can see that someone wants to feel big, but once he was ousted, we could all tell how small and fragile he is, and he had to make himself even smaller.

This is so pathetic it's hilarious!

I believe this is a meme, an old tweet from dril, a user popular for surreal and absurdist humor.

I don't know, it was like that when I stole it

I asked him to be put on the list and after a bit of back and forth I was finally added

Which means he can’t see my posts from any of his alts! 🎉🎉🥳🥳

[-] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 34 points 3 hours ago

People like him have multiple accounts.

Lol, what a loser.

I've never seen a dev do something like this. Pretty incredible that he put that in the code. It just shows the maturity level of these guys.
