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.

he is probably still reading these discussions lol

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 52 points 1 month ago (2 children)

People like him have multiple accounts.

[–] Digit@lemmy.wtf 20 points 1 month ago

As in not just honest ones for robustness against outages, but, sock puppets?

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

  • @ptz@dubvee.org

Another sus account is @Teacrumble@lemmy.world. Dormant account that suddenly woke up to defend Patrick right after the drama happened.

I can attest that this list is running VERY far indeed. Ahead of itself even, one might say, perchance.

[–] Luci@lemmy.ca 27 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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! 🎉🎉🥳🥳

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Assuming his alts are all using his front end, or his personal instance, I guess.

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

there is no way his ego would allow him to be blinded from people have to say about him. so i doubt he uses tesserect on anything more then his test account. because hypocrisy is dead

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I bet he browsed with toxic mode enabled. Or maybe a special mode that just flagged the word blocks so he could promote them to user blocks.

No doubt he's reading these

...Hi dork 👋

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You rang?

...Wait, not me?

Yeah, he's definitely still around because he recently replied to a comment of mine using one of his alt accounts, and did so in order to confirm that said account was one of his alts. How strange.

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 10 points 1 month ago

Hi dork! (with love)

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i love how he burned all his alts defending himself

because he's an emotionally fragile, egotistical narcisist. Wouldn't be surprised if his parents are pieces of shit, too
