The guy was... opinionated. And he didn't like anybody who didn't share his opinions. I'm reasonably certain I'm there because I was one of the first guys to cheer Luigi on.
Yeah, it's frustrating that in many ways Tessaract was the best web UI lemmy had. And then they go and do this. Hopefully somebody else will take over maintenance of it.
Your comment has a number of upvotes, which I suppose means others are seeing the outdated link somehow as well. For anybody who can't get the file, try this link:
That's weird. I did update my original link, but that was some time ago. Are you seeing a link to file.garden or catbox.moe? If the latter, try refreshing or clearing your cache.
What does this have to do with lemmy in particular? It's one independent dev creating a 3rd party front end. Are you claiming Mbin would be immune to this sort of attack? Piefed is already experiencing the same sort of issue, to a much lesser extent, with Rimu.
Yes, why do you think a lot of cheaters use it? Because there are a lot of people who are in that actual situation, so it's a believable story.
