Here’s a good PSA that was just posted not too long ago. That explains how deep it goes. It gets a whole lot worse than I thought.

Pretty much didn’t tell anybody what was going on and so users and admin had no idea unless you really dug in deep and look up at the code.

I’m totally stealing that Planck joke lol and you my friend are based^1.6 × 10⁻³⁵^

Maybe they just didn’t get around to you just yet until they got caught. You’re still welcomed in the banned club ^_

Welcome to the club my friend! ಠᴗಠ

Here’s a link to the list https://copyparty.adrian.place/u/?doc=policy.json

Now that got a chuckle out of me thank you and glad to be amongst good company

Happy to be on the team and together we are unstoppable o7

I absolutely love this idea! ～(つˆ0ˆ)つ｡☆

Here is one of the post that should shed some light on the situation.

Basically a Dev who made tesseract which is a front end for fir many web UI’s and apps shadowbanned users, communities, and key words and had it buried deep in the options and code and I believe they have stated that you could always revert back to having to go through advanced options and turn back on “toxic” mode.

This was found out out by some very savvy users and db0 community members. It seems that this Dev just made a list of things that they did not like and communities they didn’t like and decided to push it towards everyone else using their software without explicit notice. I think they have taken down their website due to the backlash and I’m having trouble finding the post where they were explaining themselves, but it seemed like it was heavily banning leftist,trans, socialist,anarchist communities and some odd ones like girlsofthefrontline ( basically anime women characters).

This list of all this randomness and banning of users and shadow banning them reeks of somebody who had a little too much time on their hands and was trying to force their own agenda, secretly and silence a lot of people without letting people know upfront, who are using their software that this was going on.

But I’m just a nerd and I dabble a little bit and here and there but that’s the gist of it. This and piefeds similar shenanigans Is just a reminder that even though it is fast that we need to be constantly on guard and protect our little part of the Internet :)

A little to ironic… I really do think

Same name where he diverted funds for the American 259 fair too…. Hmmmn

If the fines are not linked to the profit that the company actually gained using the tactic it’s just a mere business as usual schtick.

Until companies are hurt by the fines enough to change their actual behavior this will continue and nothing will change.

Thank you so much for commenting and I’m not gonna lie. You definitely added logs to the fire for me to continue to try to get less shitty than I am so I really do appreciate it.🤣

Thank you so much for your kind words, and I am almost 100% sure that you could do a whole lot better than me 👍🏾, Also, thanks for noticing on the perspective I was trying to encompass the whole small cheap Canvas that I had it really brighten my day ☺️
