Edit: For context, @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com discovered that the developer of Tesseract had discretely banned numerous instances and disguised it as a server error. This included more heavily leftist instances, but also blahaj.zone. More recently, it was discovered that they had also been suppressing individual users, phrases, and communities that criticize power tripping on fedi.

Needless to say, I implore non blahaj.zone users to drop the Tesseract client (support for the client has already been dropped for blahaj). So called "liberals" like this who call out "extremism on both sides" are an insult to the values they claim to be upholding.

Posting this everywhere it comes up.

Looks like the dev wants to single-handedly detoxify the fediverse by banning anything marginally left or right of center. https://lemmy.today/post/57096701

Yep... We got us an enlightened centrist in the house.

Make it make sense

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well, transparency would be the key...

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

He seems in complete denial about the lack of transparency

That’s a bit cryptic, but I wasn’t really hiding that Tesseract had decided to do things differently from here on out.

while at the same time admitting doing stuff that will obviously have the effect of avoiding eyes on the full extent of it

A: No. The filtering is disarmed completely for admins and for mods in their communities.

There's even a "you meddling kids" trope line in there

And might I add that not one person complained until db0 went internet Karen with his hissy fit

All in all a very entertaining read

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (4 children)

When you say "leftists" do you mean "progressives and anarchists" or do you mean "Tankies"?

Frankly, DB0 has very low credibility in my books, they've been caught both-sidesing and enabling both white supremacists and tankies operations on the fediverse.

EDIT: I took a moment to check out the post, I do disagree with secretly hardcoding a ban or censor rather than leaving it configurable.

EDIT 2: Did I make the list?

Ada was on the blocklist it’s a little over the top.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

When you say “leftists” do you mean “progressives and anarchists” or do you mean “Tankies”?

I'm on the list, and I'm about as far as you can get from a tankie while still being left.

[–] TanteRegenbogen@feddit.org 2 points 3 days ago

Yeah, weird that the dude shadowbans all the tankies while banning the word tankie. Additionally the list of regex terms is ridiculous. You find words like "yuri", "perchance" and "GirlsFrontline" in it. If this goes on, Admiral Patrick will ban words of basic grammar like "it".

Also dude is ridiculous, on his account https://feddit.org/u/ptz@dubvee.org he replaced all of his pics with the same pic.

We'll get the next one, don't be discouraged.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

You were one of the few I remembered to check, seeing you not on the list was a surprise! I'm curious if they literally just blocked people on some kind of key word they said and you just happen to use alternative phases. Lol

Edit note: it's not that I'm stalking users, I happen to search satan, cum and fart all the time. Just ask my search algorithm!

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 5 points 3 days ago

Damn, that's too bad. Even mine made the list, and I'm relatively new!

In the future, you should try calling for violence against billionaires more. Then you can probably make the list.

[–] marighost@piefed.social 2 points 3 days ago

@admiralpatrick@lemmy.world why was I on your stupid blocklist?

[–] gegil@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Why do people care about getting on some random lemmy client ban list?

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

Not much happens on Lemmy. Let us have our drama.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

How do I check the list to see if I made the cut?

[–] Cris_Citrus@piefed.zip 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

For anyone wondering someone posted this link in another thread https://copyparty.adrian.place/u/?doc=policy.json

Will let the person who linked it know in case they would like me not to repost the link, since it looks like copyparty is a selfhostable sharing tool?

Hey I made the list!

I’m sorry to say you haven’t.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

OP's surprised to not be on the list?

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I guess the original OP was but I’m not surprised I’m not.

Are you?

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world -2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm not surprised that you're not on the list, no. You adhere perfectly to genocide wing orthodoxy.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Hating trump and wanting to see something better is genocide wing orthodoxy?

That propaganda really did a number on you guys.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Hating trump and wanting to see something better

You're fine with trump as long as no one gets to vote against genocide.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I’m against all genocides and would like to see trump tried for crimes against humanity.

Don’t try to tell me how I feel about things when you don’t know me.

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

You just can't make this shit up. Literally insisting you believe what they need you to believe to justify being mad lmao.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I’m against all genocides

Unless biden is selling weapons for them. Unless harris is committing to continue selling weapons for them. Unless the US is running interference for them at the UN. Then anyone who says they're wrong to do that is a tankie. Or a russian or chinese or a republican or maga or whatever thought-terminating cliche it is you employ when someone has a problem with US involvement in genocide.

Centrists won as soon as there was no anti-genocide candidate on the ballot from either major party.

Tankies have no problem with genocides as long as China or Russia are committing them.

They definitely aren’t an anti-genocide political bloc or anything close to that so what are you getting at here?
