but it doesn’t ring any bells

It rings one when it reaches the end of the carriage.

Dutch/British at the time, I’ve never seen this in my life.

There’s being right, and being an absolute arsehole. Right now you’re both. Sometimes you need to not say a thing, even if it is correct.

That’s uhhh… Yeah, maybe not the best example.

Look, I’m on Lemmy, my brain just automatically assumes everyone here is a huge nerd like me.

Also, to make it worse, it’s open source software, but the blocklist isn’t in the software. When you start up the software, it downloads a specific file (not in the open code) that has the block list.

There are a few open blocklists too though, like normal. You can turn those on or off at will. But not this secret one.

So yeah, it’s 100% malicious.

Basically, it’s a frontend/dashboard/UI that you can use instead of the default interface. Think of it as KDE for Linux, its the thing that shows you buttons and menus you can use to interact with Lemmy. It’s a thing that people hosting an instance use mostly.

And if you’re thinking “my interface system shouldn’t decide my blocklist!” then yes, exactly.

Pretty much spot on for the anarchists I know in real life. And seeing the reactions on this post use hundreds of words to go “nah uh!” and blame OP for sabotaging them, makes it even better.

Excellent post
