Admiral Patrick spinning up a bunch of alts to act like a toxic asshole and “prove he was right”

Ha, you actually are on it

He banned WholesomeYuri by using a shadowban list and infecting other instances with it.

I don’t see any harrassment or toxicity from that sub but I sure see it in his actions. I probably would have let this go already if he wasn’t such a massive hypocrite.

Well, you are involved.

Admiral Patrick, dev of tesseract and admin of Startrek.website, made a shadowban list and slipped it into his front end. Instead of using modding tools like an adult, he decided to block people and communities through his app, which he was distributing and sharing with users and other instances (it’s a front end you can add for your instance website). The list was hidden and only loaded from his website at the start, it caused a bug for db0 and they traced it back.

The list was of course at his sole discretion and involves personal vendettas, leftist comms, LGBTQ comms, small news comms and a mixed bag of random ones.

The list also includes you. So a bunch of users weren’t seeing any of your posts or comments show up, and were never informed or given a choice about it.

He had a few crazy rants in the last day. The one I’m talking about had this bit in it:

Because I’ve been pretty blunt about all of this, I’ll keep it going. There’s no good way to do what I wanted without either sounding like a dick, calling people out, or otherwise causing mass ire. There’s just not. Basically I was just banking on people not noticing until they’ve already had some kind of feeling that “Lemmy just feels more friendly lately” and putting two and two together when realizing why.

Really tired of him acting like he is doing us a favor. No one asked him to start a secret ban list. What an asshat.

I’m a bit sad I didn’t save his unhinged rants where he made it clear he was trying to hide it. His alt has been going around screaming about how it was optional. He deleted the comm when someone quoted it back to him.

Fucking malware, we should just defederate. Incredibly hostile dev and admin, the content on startrek.website just isn’t worth it.

The fucking balls on him. Acting like he is doing everyone a favor. He can ban who he wants from his instance, that’s how federation is supposed to work. What he did was add a secret shadowban list at a software level just to bypass the modlog and force it on everyone.

His behavior and response are ridiculous. We shouldn’t even be federating with anything using tesseract. The guy and his repo should become a pariah.

Not to mention he tries to pretend it’s about making the place peaceful and less toxic but bans communities like WholesomeYuri and small news comms.

Oh I didn’t notice, I actually went through the last popular post and saved it from when it was posted on this comm a few weeks ago.

I’m guessing the link was probably in the post body but I didn’t think to paste it over, my mistake. I didn’t crop anything though but I should have included a link in any case.

Someone in the comments mentioned it’s Adam Ellis if you want to see more of his work.

He has a couple of these with cameos where he specifically calls them “[character] from [show]”. It’s a good bit. IIRC, he is dating or flirting with the char in all of them lol.

Ahhh yes, I’m ignoring your point but you aren’t with your trite reply?

I addressed your point. You blame climate change and environmental damage on it while I’m saying that’s on lax environmental regulations and corrupt politicians. You’ve been convinced by the oil industry that the technology is deeply coupled with how power is generated and that it’s at fault ultimately. Obviously, look away from the constant bribes that are killing renewable projects, it’s the fault of software. Not the software you like and use everyday like streaming movies and videos though, the new one that the media tells you is bad.

In the end, it’s electricity. The only thing seperating good vs bad AI is a proper grid running around renewable which we need in any case and should have had a decade ago.

It’s also massive hypocrisy. Data centres have been around for a while, no one complains about the cost of running YouTube and Netflix, or the cost of developing CoD and running the servers. One AI query is about 10 seconds of streaming, are you critical about watching tv? Should I calculate the cost of making a movie and remove it from the 10 seconds or do you only use that logic with AI?

You got told to be mad by the media and that’s why you are mad.

Name one good thing a food processor has made. That’s what you sound like.

Fyi, an AI request is about 1 second of microwave use. I’m guessing you never use a microwave, a minute worth would be more than my daily use of energy with AI.

This is just a repackaged joke from an other comic that came out 2 weeks ago, but much worse. Very ironic.

“It existed before” and some kind of stolen valor argument? Who the fuck cares, what’s your actual point. No one is calling themselves Torvalds or wtv while vibe coding anyways, the whole comment is just emotional whining and goal post shifting.

That feeling 10 years later when you wake up hungover, don’t remember driving back from the party and there’s a new picture of a child in a Halloween costume on your shirt.

“I’m your man for the job. Believe me, I know kids inside and out.”

This guy at the interview probably.

Yes, but taking away the LLM won’t solve anything imo. It’s hard to know if there are more deaths or if it’s just the media pushing it because of what it’s attached too, but I’m guessing someone that falls deep into their delusions because of an LLM would have found something else to do the same with. It’s the system (both the government and probably her immediate support system) that’s letting her down.

It’s kind of muddy, especially when it comes to kids. This case seems like clear cut religion cult delusions though. Hard to pretend the LLM had more impact than her upbringing, and no one talks about restricting religion so it just comes off as another anti-ai token gesture.

It’s like the case of the kid with Daenerys. Everyone wants to talk about the GoT bot but nobody wants to talk about the bullying, the parents who knew about it and let him grow reclusive anyways, or the same parents who left a gun in easy reach.

You are the extremist. Commiting genocide and applauding it is extreme. Yes, it is a genocide, no matter how much you block your ears.

Prominent organizations that formally recognize Israel’s actions as a genocide include the United Nations, the international Court of Justice, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders, and the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention.

Wow, even people inside Israel are against the settlements?!?!? Do you think that’s news to anyone? I expect at least some in the country to have retained their sanity. The rest who aren’t against it, who participate in it and who defend it are still disgusting immoral blood thirsty rabid crazies.

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make, everything you say sounds incredibly hollow. Like a propoganda puppet spouting his little script. You have been indoctrinated, I hope for your sake you haven’t embarrassed yourself in real life. If you find yourself losing friends and people pulling away, it probably has to do with you advocating child murder. To anyone that even has an ounce or morality and common sense, you come off as a lunatic saying shit like this.
