Just my opinion but it might not be that unpopular, who knows?

      The developer posted a farewell rant on their website, and included JavaScript to send like 1k requests to an instance he had blocked in the secret ban list.

      If you’ve ever seen a childish internet troll rant at being caught, then you’re already familiar with the post.

      Oh yeah, he slipped code into his site to have visitors query db0 a few hundred times. Real piece of shit behavior. And illegal.

      Why them specifically? Fuck if I know.

        Ah, I think from what I know of the rest of the incident it would be because db0 admins found and publicized the blacklist

          What a ridiculous response. And objectively displays their emotional stake in keeping their filter secret, despite repeatedly saying that it was never a secret.

          They’ll definitely return for “revenge” at least thrice more, and they’re absolutely sitting in a ball of stress for at least a week as a result of being found out and ostracized.

            It brings me great joy to think about the tesseract guy’s emotional state right now.

              Oh, they’re utterly pissed off and frantically bouncing between moral equivalencies all day today. No question. I was at least on the fence until the DDOS. That prick is torturously stewing in a spicy solipsistic soup and he deserves every second of it.

      Yep. The dev claimed that they were being targeted by an organized campaign led by dbzero. So he put a script on the website to use the vistor’s browser to attack dbzero.
