It’s a sign you don’t post enough. This includes myself.
I haven’t posted much, and yet…
Same!
Let’s start a new list called the “would have been on the first list if they knew about me” list
Good idea, I’m in!
Free Palestine!!!
Does tesseract dev support Israel?
Wasn’t Admiral Patrick one of the devs that got caught upvoting all the Zionist propoganda posts like a year and a half ago? I wished I saved that thread. None of the most egregious Zionists accounts are on the ban list even though they are very abrasive and political extremists. I wouldn’t be surprised if the rest was just a cover for that.
Using the word Zionist or the Epstein Class hides your comment :/ and I swear every account that’s critical of Israel is on that list.
Not to speak for them, but my understanding is they abhor all calls to violence… And paradoxically, supporting Palestinian freedom is maybe a call to violence?
I don’t want to make claims that don’t exist, but that’s how I could explain them blocking statements like this.
And to be clear, yes, free Palestine!

What was the criteria for getting on the list?
Being trans, being leftist, opposing genocide, demanding consequences for crimes against humanity.
You know, “violent extremist” stuff.
Why i’m not in the list? So unfair. 😔
love how literally everyone on lemmy is clowning on tesseract and that mofo
Just know that everyone on that list is a violent extremist including me
How do I apply for the list
hey you wanna eat some random shit
At this point they should just have a whitelist, that’s a hell of a list! There’s some users I recognise from my instance who are chill so I can’t imagine how they ended up on this list.
I don’t get it. Is this some personal vendetta the dev has? Have they really been in this many internet arguments? Where did this list come about and why?
They posted an explanation in the tesseract community, but it boils down to they want the fediverse to succeed and replace reddit, but there is a contingent of toxic users that they feel is hindering that goal so they precompiled a list for new instance admins.
It’s fully optional and can easily be disabled in the UI
It is not fully optional. It was obfuscated and unremovable. That’s why the backlash has been so severe.
Not to mention, why should a user interface make that decision? That’s up to individual server admins and their userbase.
Fully agree on the weirdness that this would somehow be the concern of a frontend. Nah brh. Very strange.
The author offers a lengthy explanation in their own words as to precisely why this was done. TLDR: people are free to stop using it, but he’s making these changes because he wants to offer this service on behalf of those who don’t enjoy all the toxicity here.
Your TLDR reeeeeeealllllly buries the lede.
Fair, I guess that was more my own take-away from it than summary! :-P
Lmfao. I didn’t make it more than a few paragraphs because it’s written with the maturity of a 10 year old in a chocolate sausage museum.
You can really tell they’re up for an honest and open conversation with the community, really trying to improve the Fediverse, with their locking of all comments.
He’s clearly the toxic one and is projecting his issues onto hundreds of others.
people are not “free to stop using it” if the instance admin is using it.
honestly I don’t even give a fuck about me being on “the list” anymore. I’m more upset that he decided for hundreds if not thousands of users without consulting them or taking into consideration of their opinions.
he took the choice away from them, and that’s kind of the problem with tech anymore.
@ptz@dubvee.org is a scammy piece of shit that got caught and is attempting to do damage control now.
don’t his users and his users users deserve transparency?
Yes they do but the irony present in your reply is palpable.
Incels upon being told no simply create an alt to evade bans.
Tesseract bans them anyway.
WoN’t SoMeOnE pLeAsE tHiNk oF tHe
childrenBaN eVaDeRs?!Sadge :-(
I think you missed the point.
I won’t bother wasting my time explaining it, I’ll just block you.
because I have the choice to do that
Lol. TIL I’m a violent extremist. Me. Boring, professional, suit wearing, family of four having, generic white guy.
The world this guy lives in must be truly weird.
Boring, professional, suit wearing, family of four having, generic white guy.
That is like the quintessential serial killer description by his neighbors.
“It’s the quiet ones you gotta watch” -George Carlin
I mean, to be fair, here is that entire paragraph for context:
As will be explained further, there are 10 rules that are enforced, the biggest one being a very basic “don’t be a violent extremist”. That’s probably 30% of the list. Another 50% are just alts of Dwazou (persistent, long-term ban evader), and the remaining 20% just garden-variety spammers and toxic people who scare the normies away.
Based on this, it is much more likely that you are an alt of Dwazou. (Or maybe I am? 🤪 Statistically, between the three of us, you me and the author, ONE of us must be!!)
Why are you talking to yourself? /j
Maybe we both are. I’m not sure we’d know…
k
THAT list is able to be disabled, though people are mad about its discoverability and transparency.
The OTHER list, the smaller instance-level one, reportedly cannot be disabled, seemingly the only recourse for those instances on it are to use his fork of the code.
This is from db0’s reporting, I have not attempted to confirm personally, but I would be happy to be corrected if need be.
Holy fuck I made the list wow
I’m on a list. This is a big day for me.
Hey, thanks. I had heard about the list but didn’t know where to find it. Turns out I’m on it, too. Badge of honor.
Same. I even got a whole ass regex.
Yeah, I didn’t know I had it in me! Death to Zionism. Such violence.
s/ism/ists/g
oops, made a violence
I’m not on the list, and have been thinking if they want to curate their instance/app whatever it was that’s their right.
But “Jessi?e Welle?s” is on the list? I get he’s political, but if you don’t like what he’s saying I think I’d rather associate with the people on the list because if they’re being put next to Jessie they’re probably good people.
First read as violet extremist and thought the blacklist was about armpit lickers.
Maaaan guess I need to post more
Not a single SDF user? I guess we’re a peaceful bunch
no 40 checking in!
Tesseract dev: “I made a list of people who willfully misconstrue things to create drama and play the victim”.
people on that list: “OHH WOW SO I’M A VIOLENT EXTREMIST NOW???”
Are you trying to create drama and play the victim while complaining about other people supposedly creating drama and playing the victim?
They have a cure for that, it’s called fucking off.
im no victim i’m the winner here lol
Winners are well-regarded for doing everything you’re doing.
nice
did you read the devs reply?, He definitely wasn’t saying this was for annoying people who misconstrue things
As will be explained further, there are 10 rules that are enforced, the biggest one being a very basic “don’t be a violent extremist”. That’s probably 30% of the list. Another 50% are just alts of Dwazou (persistent, long-term ban evader), and the remaining 20% just garden-variety spammers and toxic people who scare the normies away.
I’m not an alt of dwazou, or a spammer so guess that just leaves violent extremist.
To the fascist nazi scumbag, “violent extremist” means anyone that opposes genocide, anyone that has espoused consequences for murder, torture, and oppression, or anyone that has ever made fun of Charlie “Goebbels” Kirk.
TIL the wholesome yuri community are violent extremists.
you learned that? where?
Some even proudly so, from the looks of things:-P.
they’re allowed lol
smug levels off the charts. gross.
Honestly, incels have a greater need than normies for a space on the internet where they can be as toxic as they like. On account of nobody willing to listen to them irl… 🤣
They already have Twitter and Reddit!
And Twitch (where “sadge” derives from, according to my Google-fu), and Tiktok, and Instagram, and don’t forget Lemmy, and… but the thing is, when you’ve been banned from ALL of those, where else do you go next, other than a free instance with an open sign-up policy? 🤪
Unless I’m stupid and can’t read it does appear I am infact on the list. Honestly I’m not even surprised given my bloodthirsty, but c’mon I have some good fucken shit post comments sometimes let folks decide if my particular breed of bloodlusted madness is acceptable or not ya fucken weak ass pussies.
nice dude 🦀🦀🦀
I’m not on the list. But I’m banned from Reddit, so I got that going for me, which is nice.
Hell yea fam. I checked the other day and my banned account is still a mod on numerous subs I modded. Nice to know my homies left me there.
same. not on the list and got temporary banned today lol
Cause you a real 1
Seriously, I wanted to open a PR to add myself to the list, but the fucker took the repo offline because he couldn’t handle the backlash. Wussy.
My internet poisoned brain trying to figure out what permutation of pussy starts with w
Woman’s pussy
I think most of the people on the blocklist are not people I want to talk to. But you can fuck off if you’re going to put that shit in a public client. Let people manage what they want to see by themselves.
I recognized a few names on there as brain dead trolls or politically extreme zealots. I’m sure some are fine and maybe just got on the devs nerves for something petty or isolated, but either way you’re right, let people manage their shit. Tired of people thinking they can nanny everyone else or tell others what to do or think or feel.
Edit:just to add, I also know one person on the list outside of Lemmy comments and they are a great person. They probably had one angry comment and the Dev took exception to that.
Sometimes you are just going to piss people off no matter what. Shit lemmy grew as the 2024 election in the U.S. grew. If users from the U.S. weren’t bitching about politics or calling others names… Then we probably deserve the current state
The first person I looked up had an extremely inflammatory slogan as their cover picture. The sentiment was anti-israel, so I expect most people here, including myself, at least broadly (possibly wholeheartedly) agree with his general stance, but I think such slogans are wrong and unhelpful so… yeah.
As Jericho used to say ‘You just made the list’. It’s better than a Reddit award.
I still wonder what it is I said/posted that did it. Was it the Luigi pictures? The guillotine images? Or my relentless disdain for all things Microslop?
why not ask him?
@ptz@dubvee.org what dumbshit things did we say that hurt your fragile ego?
oh never mind, I’m on the block list too.
If anyone gets ahold of him ask how I earned such high praise.
If you’re on .world and you haven’t been hassled over Luigi comments, I’d say your comments have been relatively tame.
What do you mean? I think all CEOs should be Luigi-ed.
Don’t forget eaten afterwards!
Why not force them to kill and eat eachother slowly over the course of a year or two? Every time around lunch, just toss a stick in the pit and let them sort it out.
We would supply food ourselves, of course, but that’s socialism. They should feel at home in a competitive environment.
Funny thing is, an awful lot of actually dangerous extremists won’t be on that list, because they don’t post the shit they’re doing on the Internet.
