Thanks, but I am not that sad for gaining an achievement. :)

Well, most of what I can do is generate a digital blueprint for anyone to print it on clothing. 😅

That is insane.

What a disaster! /s

Inner kid VS outer adult.

It is a very offensive and exaggerated meme for the gaming community, by the way.

Well, this is an exception, I guess.

Language is a more universal and practical thing in many situations.

Love how people turned fact of being banned in an achievement. For some reason this doesn’t happen for communities.

So much noise about this event. I guess that not often something similar happens here.

Passwords are definitely hashed unless it is a modified version of software, that does the opposite. Also, yes, IP and port number can be easily gathered from pretty much any https requests. Other than that it doesn’t seem that instances collect any other additional info unlike Reddit, that aggressively does browser fingerprinting.

1 year old account and still haven’t learned to be a normal person and not a toxic b*tch. Good luck having the same attitude IRL and not get a solid feedback.

Somewhere lower in this thread I explained(my opinion) why this dev has used this tactic of expressing points of view instead of simply presenting a modifiable, clearly visible and documented filter with a default option, that represents views of this dev. I don’t say that this dev is right, but I can understand the logic and motivation that were used to do so. And, yes, I can also be wrong. I don’t deny it.

You can do pretty much the same, toxic person.

It doesn’t take much time to figure out the rules here once you get used around and browse communities/modlog a few months deep. And it became clear to me, that there exist a lot of red flag moderators, whom it is reasonable to avoid engaging with. And also there exist other situation: when mod is relatevely OK, but the community itself is awful.

So, counter-question: you are seriously telling me that mods of blahaj instance don’t ban(especially permanently) on spot for any criticism/phobia towards LGBTQ+ community?

That is the whole point. Clearly visible, easily editible filter list about which it is clearly stated in documentation was the right thing to do. But, it wasn’t an effective solution, since most admins would have changed this list almost immediately resulting in very small efficiency of this filter, compared to what was initially intended. And since this dev explicitly wanted to affect maximum amount of people for maximum amount of time, this solution was better. Many people naively think that others would play by the rules delivering their revenge/justice or whatever, but this is not how it usually happens.

Maybe no right, but certainly an ability. Because, how else would you revenge the mods/admins on the internet rather than throw some malware to them? (rhetorical question)

You are telling me this like I am that dev or, at least, know him. But there is a difference between protecting someone’s actions and explaining them or guessing what was the motivation. This dev has successfully dealt some damage as was intended, that is all. At least, it was just a shady censorship filter and not some real malware.

Nowhere is safe. But here more possibilities to do what you want exist.

Chill out. I just explained the most possible reason of why this dev has done it. Maybe my formulation wasn’t totally clear, but my point of view is valid. It is the other thing that this dev has created a literal malvare to state his opinions about some communities and users. I don’t say that I support this dev, but I can understand the motivation to do so.

Mods of blahaj wouldn’t think twice to ban this dev for being annoyed by lgbtq+ community. No wonder that this dev just did the same.
