Context: Admiral Patrick replied and included this gem:
And might I add that not one person complained until db0 went internet Karen with his hissy fit because I took his toy away from him.
"Not one person complained about my explicitly obfuscated blacklists! Damn internet Karens making a big deal!"
He's now calling you and all the other communities and instances unstable like matches...
My guy is straight up delusional. He really ought to touch grass and come back next year when most people will have forgotten him
Instances should detect when tesseract is the client and return nothing but a fake post explaining why it sucks.
Imagine being so ultra-butthurt that people found out (and are upset) you were trying to manipulate them.
/> doesn't tolerate transphobia and hate
/> proceeds to ban the entire blahaj instance
Wat
Tells me they're only cool with the trans folks who shut the fuck up and don't make him feel any cognitive dissonance over his political fee-fees. Poor wittle baby.
Why is Admiral Patrick complaining? Just put all the complainers on the list. Problem solved /s
"I've got four years good conduct I have - "
"No, that was four years Not Found Out", said Vimes. "Clear off."
He would have got away with it too if it wasn't for those meddling Karens
does any of this tesseract shit matter if I'm using Voyager? I can't even find the "toxic mode" button that gasbag is yelling about.
It doesn't matter to you in the sense that Tesseract is a web browser frontend and if you use Voyager you are not personally affected by the block list in your consumption of content.
It may or may not matter to you in the sense that your posts and comments might be silently shadowbanned and hidden from a lot of the people who do use the Tesseract frontend. And if you are not personally on the list, some people whose content you care about may be.
It also may or may not matter to you as a matter of principle, in the sense that you may care about the issue of silent censorship.
yeah as a matter of principle it seems very shady. but i couldn't tell if it was affecting me on Voyager. thank you!
Yeah, this place is full of power tripping mods who ban anyone they find disagreeable with. This tesseract shit isn't anything new. It's just more efficient.
This has been hands-down some of the best drama I’ve seen on the Fediverse. I assume there’s some sick part of my brain that just loves it when someone doubles down on a bad decision.
That post max crash out. Homie included a way to turn it off like a company hiding the cancel subscription options and expected everyone to love it. Like bro if you want to filter everything out thats what your block list is for. Also, he plainly did not mention why it was obfuscated to such a degree and acted like it showed you everything.
And he called it the toxic filter. Like, dudes higher on his own farts than I am on mine. That is hard
I finally found myself but I honestly feel like this is a list of prominent users more than anything.
It does raise the question of what's left once you're done scouring out all the shit you don't like.
I occasionally visit in incognito to see what I'm missing. And I'll admit... mostly bad memes and reactionary hot takes. But I'm blocking maybe a dozen channels and twenty odd users. This block list goes into the 3k range.
In my experience, once you get rid of all the people who are willing to voice a unique opinion, the people who are left are the ones make superficial one-liner puns. One of the great things about Lemmy is it's usually a discussion, not just an upvote race like Reddit is.
yeah, when i started using lemmy i started blocking every chungus i disagreed with. then i realized i'm a pretty big chungus myself on a bad day, and there's like a hundred of us who use this regularly. if i block someone who's just having a bad day that's diminishes the experience here, but if i block someone who's always having a bad day (i'm not naming names, but there are a few) it improves the experience.
i think i might have fifty users total blocked (mostly bots and trolls i hope), and i've added maybe ten in the last year. 3k is just stupid.
no no. he "compressed it for efficiency" /s
but really, he said that.
fucking dumbass.

No one complained about all the kids I raped until they knew about it! - Trump
Admiral used Blahaj as an example of a "terrorist" instance in their rant.
This confirms they are just another garden variety fascist trying to sanitize the world around them because they're too fragile to adapt, and in their psychosis they think everyone else will support their obviously broken mindset.
Yo admiral fash, if you're here with us go ahead and add me to your walmart brand palantir system. I stand with LGBTQIA, and rest assured I'd have some violence for you for silencing their voices.
'Great Value Palantir'
In in stiches, hahaha!
"Enable Toxic Mode"... lmfao!
My discussions since joining Lemmy & dbzer0 specifically are so much higher quality than when I used Reddit. People aren't calling each other stupid, and real discussions seem to be had from both sides of different topics. Maybe the instance I'm in is just well-moderated but I can't see how this community could be considered toxic or put on a blacklist by anyone other than those who are ignorant and judge books by their covers.
Some scary words for Patrick (cover your eyes): Anarchy! Transgender! Leftist! LGBT! Equality!
not one person complained until db0 went internet Karen with his hissy fit because I took his toy away from him.
Lmao because nobody knew until db0 pointed it out. Do you really think the community at large would've taken it well if they had known?
I don't mean this ironically but this person needs to touch grass. Go offline. Disengage.
There's a really good reason why the fediverse is designed with public mod logs, and I imagine the motivation for creating these tools for blocking/hiding/burying content on the frontend is to get around the accountability that public moderation logs enable.
I imagine that is also why some of the first communities AP blocked were mod abuse forums.
As ever, scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.
Making a blacklist for your frontend is one thing.
Not telling users about it is an entirely different, more fucked up thing.
Purposefully disguising block as technical difficulties instead of deliberate blocks is yet another level of different and more fucked up.
A blacklist that users are informed of and therefore (presumably) consent to when using the software, I could understand. I still don't entirely agree with it, but I understand.
But each of the additional levels of fucked-up-ness turn it from understandable to despicable. Absolutely fuck that dev in every which way.
I would love an anti fascist blocklist
Do you really run into that many fascists on Lemmy? (As long as you're not counting tankies as fascist, I guess. Which they're technically not quite.)
Yeah, but seeing myself on line 1208 of the super-secret banned list made me feel far more dangerous and badass than I deserve. I feel like I'm barely a decent person, but I'm still working on it; apparently, that makes me a radical.
If all that talk of "tesseract is more than a client, it's an experience that sands off the rough edges of the fediverse" was true wouldn't that be prominently featured in the readme and UI? All this "toxic mode" and "extremists" buzzwords make it seem like you're protecting users, but many users of Lemmy are here exactly because of those "rough edges", fleeing from the sanitized, censored, unfree mainstream websites. Not because we're terrorists, but because we believe that saying "billionaires should be hanged" shouldn't be disallowed. Fuck facebookifying my experience by showing boomer memes and hiding real talk.
and the remaining 20% just garden-variety spammers and toxic people who scare the normies away.
Oh man, I'd rather have a list of normies that make the internet slop
