      Why don’t you ask the developer enforcing a secret blacklist? What a stupid fucking comment, holy shit.

      EDIT: Oh, you are the dev. Fuck off, loser.

            I do think it’s dishonest that he’s been making all these comments about tesseract from that account. That’s why I’ve started alerting people to it

            I’m honestly not sure what the bar is for astroturfing, I’m only familiar with it in the “paid” actor sense

          Seems like there wouldn’t be this big hubbub if the dev hadn’t been a sneaky asshat who decided to control the views of anyone using their front-end without notification they were going to change.

            • The full list with detailed explanations is available publicly in the GitHub repo.

            • The “toxic mode” toggle is visible in the tesseract GUI along with another explanation of what it does

            • Tesseract is not a default Lemmy UI, an instance admin has to manually add it in order for it to be accessible.

            • Tesseract’s toxic mode filter does not ban anyone

            • Instance admins are not forced to use Tesseract

            • Users are not forced to use an instance that provides Tesseract as an option

            • Users are not forced to enable the toxic mode filter on instances that have the toggle enabled

            • We are all free to block whomever we please on our own accounts

            • Admins are free to ban whomever they please from their instances that they own

            • We do not get to decide who gets banned from other peoples instances

            • We do not get to decide what other people read

            • Other people do not owe you or I an explanation of why they do the things they do in their free time

            • We do not get to control what other people create in their free time
