Thanks for the link, I didn't know about this yet. So from what I gather, deploying malware on other's servers so you can secretly control the narrative of what ideas can propagate is something "someone had to do." Disgusting behavior, betraying trust and consent in one feel swoop for who knows how many folks and server owners that used the software.

I hope it didn't matter even if it was written as a heartfelt apology, but hopefully the doubling down here further emboldens the complete removal of Terreract from Lemmy server stacks, and users' willingness to utilize it in any capacity. This is obviously not an individual anyone can trust to run their code, and who knows what may be cooked up next—or is still waiting to be discovered.
