        if you are capable, reflecting on this moment where you visibly outed yourself on this alt may be wise. you put your worst foot forward by being a sarcastic prick.

        The situation would be the same if he also could block you for other users and instances without telling them.

        Personally blocking a user on your account is fine Personally blocking a user from your admin is fine

        Both those things use Lemmy tools and the modlog. Banning people with a secret shadowban malware list and distributing this malware to other instances is unethical.

        I’m fairly certain this user is Admiral Patrick’s alt. He is in every thread not only defending but straight up lying.

        I highly urge everyone to go take a look at the list. There’s lgbt communities and instances, small news orgs and even a word ban so your comment doesn’t show if it has “Epstein class” in it for example.

        The app only showed you half the ban list, it hid the LGBTQ bans, users and comment stuff from what I understand.

          I don’t consider an optional ui used by optional instances with an optional and clearly labeled feature that enables an optional GUI toggle that allows users to control a filter that does not actually ban anyone to be “malware”

            clearly labeled

            Clear as mud. You knew adding the entire Blahaj instance on a “toxicity” filter would cause an uproar, that’s why you went out of your way to hide it.

              nah it was very clear and posted to a public repo but if you want to see yourself as a victim of some conspiracy I can’t stop you

                  that link looks very clear and posted in the pubic repo to me but yeah dude like i said if you want to imagine that someone else blocking you is somehow an attack then you certainly have that right but the only person you’re hurting is yourself

                  Edited for clarity

                    Funny how it went from “very clear and posted in the public repo” to ‘well it’s public’ lmao.

                    Look man, if you didn’t understand this was going to cause a scene when people figured it out, frankly you don’t need to be developing software for other people. This whole episode shows a massive disconnect between what you think is fine and what everyone else thinks is fine.
