    Dear Lord, please grant me this level of pettiness and the presence of mind to wield that pettiness only against those who deserve it. Amen.

    It’d be hilarious if this dude went to prison over this, because it seems like he finally crossed from “annoying and unethical but legal” to straight up illegal.

    I think this is the first time the whole fediverse agrees to who the asshole is.

    Thanks, dev of Tesseract, you actually left a positive impact on the fediverse. Please don’t come back.

    Can someone explain what the hell this whole situation is? I didn’t really even know what tesseract even was before this happened.
