Perchance I can join the list 🥺?👉👈
In all seriousness: how did they think it was a good idea to create a blacklist when a sizable chunk of the Fediverse is so against external interference in general? Did they not see this coming?
love how literally everyone on lemmy is clowning on tesseract and that mofo
Got tesserekt lmao
Its one of those moments which just makes you really happy to be here
yeah im not on it TwT
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.
As Jericho used to say ‘You just made the list’. It’s better than a Reddit award.
I’m not on the list. But I’m banned from Reddit, so I got that going for me, which is nice.
I left reddit before they started extreme ban hammer , and i didn’t make the tesseract list. Wtf am i even doing with my life?
Have you checked the Dubvee ban logs? You might have been banned there years ago with even knowing it. Without even having known that instance existed. If that will make you feel any better. Happened to me. Through some weird automated ban sync process. Now I’ve learned the Dubvee admin is the tesseract dev who did all this, I didn’t even bother checking if I’m on the list. I’m feeling pretty hipster about all this.

Oh, that’s why they’d exclude modabuse communities
Meanwhile I have no idea what everyone is talking about. “Tesseract” huh? Guess I go outside too much…
Tesseract was a frontend for lemmy. Think of lemmy posts as emails, and the front end as your email client like outlook/gmail/etc. Normally you would expect your email client to show you your emails. But tesseract basically implemented a shadow ban list on users, communities, and phrases. And all of this was invisible to the server admins who hosted the tesseract frontend for their users. If you were banned by tesseract then people using that front ends just wouldn’t see your post’s, but you wouldn’t show as banned in the tesseract UI. In the email example this is the equivalent of your gmail seeing you said “fuck ice” a year ago and now it’ll let you send emails but not actually deliver them for people to read. But it wasn’t just “fuck ice” it was a whole bunch of things like criticizing moderators, left and right wing ideas. And GirlsFrontline (anime style game) was banned but not porn. Just weird. And it did all of this by loading the ban list as obfuscated code at runtime so just zero transparency all around.
If someone wanted to make a less extreme lemmy then they could be open about their front end goals and not try to hide it like a punk ass bitch
Being a loser. Git gud bro. (Jk I’m also not on the list and I’m not aware of being banned on reddit but I left before the extreme ban hammer too)
same. not on the list and got temporary banned today lol
Cause you a real 1
Just know that everyone on that list is a violent extremist including me
Proof it,or shut up. /s
Goddamn I’m not just banned as a user, I’m banned as a specific userRegex. That makes me 2x more extremist than the average banned user.
Get on my level you losers.
Tesseract users losing access to your comments is a realitaetsverlustverlust 🤪
Am an average joe, and i also got banned via regex.
So you are not thaat extremist, just an average joe level extremist
I’m on a list. This is a big day for me.
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?
Here’s their full explanation: https://lemmy.world/post/49817942
It’s pretty long and includes some insightful details about implementation (making the blocklist’s usage at the discretion of the instance admin though not transparent of its contents and defaulting it to enabled) but this quote boils down the underlying sentiment pretty well:
“These are all rough edges of the threadiverse which I am attempting to round off so we might actually be able to retain some level headed people instead of scraping the bottom of the barrel by being a dumping ground for people rejected by civil society."
When you examine the list, by and large, it’s pretty reasonable. Lots of false news, state propaganda, spammers, etc. But also the entire lemmy.blahaj.zone instance (where many of lemmy’s trans denizens call home). We’re included in what the lead developer describes as “bottom of the barrel” “people rejected by civil society.”
Though I do fear the backlash. You’ve got a bunch of malicious spammers, hate-mongers and blackhat state actors who now have an open window to cause a lot of harm (harassment & general sowing of discontent) with the convenient smoke screen of upset trans folks who it can be blamed on.
Really? I’m malicious spammer, hate-monger or blackhat state actor? News to me, but good to know.

That’s fucked up. And he’s the self-appointed “nice” [secret]police? Yikes.
I’ll give a short description of the long post.
also, I have to call him not just a dumbass but a malicious dumbass.
“Someone leaked the list. Why am I on it??”
A: The list was never hidden just not advertised (lest people game it). I also could have encrypted it, but I merely compressed it for efficiency. If you’re on the list, then one of the 10 reasons above applies.
the file in question was placed obscurely. updated without directly calling out what it was. and published without notifying users.
seems a lot of effort went into obfuscating the true purpose of the file.
while on the subject of obfuscation. he claimed he “compressed it for efficiency”.
he compressed it, then base64 encoded it. why? why compress it to only expand the size of the file by encoding it??
@ptz@dubvee.org is a dumbass and a shitty dev if he thinks any of the bullshit he said was worth the time it took to say it.
some personal vendetta
Seems like it’s hubris / arrogance - a poorly considered attempt to create some kind of ideal social experience.
Been reading up on it a bit, yeah, seems to be the case indeed. Shame it went that way for them.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Holy fuck I made the list wow
Yeah, I didn’t know I had it in me! Death to Zionism. Such violence.
s/ism/ists/g
oops, made a violence
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.
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
Cunt
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.
TIL the wholesome yuri community are violent extremists.
you learned that? where?
IIRC they said that who is on the list is either extremist or toxic
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? 🤪
Disappointment when I realized I wasnt on the list, but that’s my own fault for not posting enough. Atleast I got Reddit banned on my 15 year old account for promoting violence.
Also got a bunch of FB bans back when I used it. One time for calling someone a pigeon.
“Your post makes me want to get violent towards you. I’m therefore banning you for promoting violence”
That checks out, alot of the people Id argue with would be the “look what you made me do” type 😂
A pigeon? How dare you! That’s almost as bad as calling someone an absolute walnut!
Yea that ban is a badge of honor it’s so stupid. I wish I could recall why I called them that 😂
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.
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.
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
Wow. I had no idea this was going on. Well…
If the author of the code, who was distributing it for free, wants to pick and choose who gets to run said code, then one is welcome to a refund of $0.00, I guess.
…y’know, I feel like, hypothetically, if I made a list of ‘bad people’ and used it to control access to software made available to the general public, that would put me in a fair bit of hot water. If it doesn’t count as targeted harassment, it still creates a literal set of targeting data that anyone else can pick up and harass.
But one way or another, i don’t think it’s very constructive for me to to continue to exist within the vicinity of someone who hates me. even vicariously through their code. just kinda stings is all…
it still creates a literal set of targeting data that anyone else can pick up and harass
this scope of possible damage hadn’t occurred to me until now…
It made me wonder if he didn’t get the list from the largest instance he’s a user on? I’m telling you, they do some curating of the content over there. It happened to me and that’s why I’m SJW.
It’s not who gets to run it, but who they get to interact with that’s the bad part, without even telling them makes it worse.
Using software made by people who hate you and are willing to put that hate into their code is a bad idea for sure. If their software seeks to isolate you from communities and people that believe you have a right to exist, what’s left?
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
please,
perchance! yuri!
Sorry can’t open paywall! Perchance perchance perchance!
Maybe it’s like Candyman, if you say it five times they appear.
It is Perchance, not perchance. Regex not ignore capitalization.
Also Yuri in community list not keyword list.
noooo 😭
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.

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.
