The dubvee guy made something the way he wanted it and shared it with others. If someone doesn’t like the way he did it they can fork it or use another front end. Not everyone likes the same things and that’s okay.

    If he was such a good guy, why did he work so hard to hide his own acts of censorship?

      OP never said anyone was a good guy; only that he could develop his front end the way he wanted.

        “Liking things” is fine.

        Trying to defraud the community means they’re an asshole.

        Why are you defending them?

      Does someone have to be a good guy to make his own frontend, offer it freely, and explain it to nobody?

        No, plenty of assholes distribute malware hidden in useful apps just like AdmiralPatrick.

          And they publish their unobfuscated code publicly for all to see. The thing that really ties the malware community together is their love of open sourcing their projects.

          Edit: if there was a blocklist fetched that could not be seen in the published code my stance on this point is demonstrably wrong footed.
