PSA: The Tesseract frontend includes a hardcoded hidden instance blacklist with all leftist and trans-friendly instances.

Only the derpiest of wannabes need apply. 🤢

Can you imagine what we'd be dealing with if they were actually competent? 🙆🏼‍♂️

Unfortunately that piece of shit didn't even get fired or cast out of the open source community, let alone get sent to prison for that. And yes as an American he could get sent to prison for that because he also effected American military systems in the region.

Well, they're radical about their genders. Gender is dangerous. You know, to their social order at least. Also lots of organic chemistry involved, and we all know that shit's cursed.

When you're an extremist, everyone in the world looks like a radical.

My best guess is that one of the dev’s alts got put in the corner for transphobia, and they were butthurt about it.

Hey you speak for your damn self. We're making ALL the frogs gay!

It's literally the pot calling the kettle black. Because we (trans people) believe in introspection, gender studies, biology, scientific methods, harm reduction, and can connect all these things, it conflicts with what people who don't think. It comes down to immovable ignorance and misattributing through that ignorance, and they see us though a freaky fetishist rhetoric cynic lens. We end up being extreme difference alien extremist idealogists, and therefore different and must be a threat to their current worldview. And honestly, yeah. If you're so stuck in trad bullshit that you stand in the way of progress and then claim "science" but then exact hate and oppression of humanity while aligning with the Nazis, then yeah, we are your enemy in every aspect of the word. We just wanna live our lives and love and be loved by our families and build communities and be happy. But in order to do that, APPARENTLY, some shit's gotta change. Stop beating your wives, stop abusing your kids, read more, actually listen to people when they tell you something hurts, be more human, have empathy for people. We got told the future is hopeful and bright for everybody. We realized it isn't that way. We figured out some ways it could be better. We aren't perfect and are all human, just like everybody else. We literally all want the same thing, unless you're a freaky hater rapist murderer racist piece of shit human. WHY are there SO MANY of those??? How do we help people? First step is accepting and understanding ourselves, and to do that, sometimes we need to listen to others who are also trying to understand THEMselves. We (everybody) aren't that smart, and because of that, we have to continually try to be better, to ourselves and to others. And that takes effort and energy and time and patience. It takes examination of our biases, drilling down on "why" and researching history. And once you start doing that, shit gets a lot clearer. Not crystal clear, but definitely clearer. I still don't understand why people get stuck on hate, but I know it makes me really, really sad when I lose a friend to it. It makes me sad when I talk to somebody I haven't in a long time, and they hit me with angry, super stupid political rhetoric that illustrates how far down the fascist hole they've fallen. It's always from a point of self confidence, pain, and a sense of overcoming intellectual adversity. But it's always ignorance and needing belonging, resulting in hurting others.

I'm rambling because I'm tired of it. I'm also just tired in general. A lifetime of it all really wears you out and makes it hard to recover. Less friends, less family, less government, less rights, people talking you down everywhere, the constant considering and strategy. I'm tired. So tired. I do think we're all gonna make it, but like db0 said, "we aren't pacifists", we just... I dunno, trans people are the tanks I guess. Politicians are the dps, everyday people speaking out in support are the support. I don't want to be a tank, I want to be a normal person. I want to be a game dev and have friends and go visit my family. But I can't do that anymore, so I must fight for the chance at maybe my younger siblings to have a chance at that future.

And if that makes me an extremist... I don't think so. But if somebody does, then yeah, fine, I guess we can have beef.

Somebody else in here commented that they couldn't stand the jokes and memes and stuff. And honestly, fuck that person. It all hurts. Of course it does. But we have to keep going and not give in to the hate. Otherwise... We lose everything. Identity politics, culture war... More like rights to life and love and freedom and equality. Losing civil rights weekly in 2026 is crazy. Defunding scientific progress and research. Everything is politicized against us now. We can't even get a passport anymore. I can get executed for using the restroom in public. I get side eyed by every dad and verbally assaulted by the drunk ones. My offense? Walking in public on a sidewalk, in the evening, back from the grocery store.

I hope all fascists die in a fire. And now you have a better idea why.

I'm tired. I'm going to bed in hopes that things will be better tomorrow.

I suspect so. I think it all came down during the big slapfight with piefed where A.N. was the first one to get pointed at for "extremism"

Yeah, we were banned in the initial wave of "unsupported instances" in March here.

Seems like db0 was upgraded from being allowed with a content warning to fully blocked in April with the commit linked in the op.

I 'member. Capitalism ruins everything...

We do run iocaine but that only takes care of known spam subnets and scraping agents. You need to know who to target to send in iocaine first. In front of that we have haphash which is a PoW. We don't use it site-wide though, as we're ok people scraping well-cached things like our frontpage. We use it on dynamic content like comments which scrapers love to scrape by the millions, each of them causing a DB query which we cannot cache.

It seems that new lemmy added some new url paths which I didn't know about (I think /comment/ is new, before it was all just /post/) which the botnmets discovered after a few hours and started scraping. On top of that I noticed that some scrapers were using random wildcard domain to go to the main site, so I punted those to iocaine as well.

No. I stay the hell away from those people. Was my whole childhood and I've mostly repressed those memories.

Oh that's a good one, I was kind of trying to forget he existed

Yeah, that's what I do.

You could generate a temporary mail address with guerilliamail

Look I find the need to use a 50 year old protocol to authenticate with websites annoying, and I think we shouldn't do that anymore, but I don't think it should be outlawed.

I also have an airmail.cc box and it's basically IP and/or domain blocked on lots of places. I think some mail was even quietly dropped. Sounds like it's too easy to sign up and since that's not the "industry standard" (thanks alphabet and microsoft) it's often blocked even by self-hostables.

Try riseup.net and autistici.org. Or maybe on of these dozens of servers (although little of them with a good privacy notice, unfortunately needed under capitalism). Or maybe sign up for a pubnix and use that thing's email, although the only one I found with a proper privacy policy was envs.net and I was banned for trying to prove a point.

Alternative: open up Tor Browser, get your super banned super forbidden email address (like maildrop.cc), then open a new tab, smash that F12 key, press the little phone/tablet icon on the right, then change the first selector to "iPhone SE", change "UA: " to Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 16_7_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/16.5 Mobile/15E148 DuckDuckGo/7 Safari/604, then go to duck.com/email (the .onion is broken due to bad csp lol), put your very illegal box there and get a very legal one back. You may ask, why Tor Browser. I say, to make DuckDuckGo shut up more easily about your brand new alias. You can just keep doing this, infinite legit email glitch. Just nobody tell anyone, sshhhhhhhhhh.

cough

Pretty sure he is the LW 'admin team'

cough

Everything is coming together thank you

Ah I thought he was a normie not a fediverse person

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0526185/

Literally this guy? I know his face

Solidarity brother

Honestly surprised, considering how much reactionaries hate me. Still, shout out to @CARCOSA@hexbear.net !

Sucks to suck.

Honestly I'm kind of offended, and baffled you aren't on there either.

Someone should message them and tell them to do it

I believe you did not quite meet the acab quota, also few mentions of Bibi sitting on a grenade could boost your points to reach the fed blocklist

We're not gay enough. Release the yuri files! Unleash revolutionary socialism! Effect the trans agenda!

Hexbear on there four times.

Oop thank you.

Why do you think so?

aw man blobs in oss? why is there no scanner for that?

Mine is ahead because that repo was at my level when I forked

There wasn't an earlier fork. Either ap isn't telling the whole story of what they did with their repo (they also lost all their stars), or github is bugged somehow

On lemmy we get comments saying people with camera glasses (or whatever you call them) should be physically assaulted instead.

Like, the bar for calling for violence on lemmy is horrifically low.

When the state protects genociders, there is nothing wrong with using violence against them. I would love for every member of the state of Israel to stand trial and be punished legally and appropriately, but there is no state right now that has the power or inclination to do that, so in the meantime I will not condemn Palestinians for using violence to protect themselves and to make it so that Israelis cannot continue to perpetrate genocide.

I would love it if health insurance CEOs were made to stand trial for denying coverage to dying people, but there is no court in America that will hear that case, so in the meantime I will not condemn the Luigis of this world for taking justice into their own hands.

Give me a state that actually delivers justice for everyday people instead of the rich, and I will advocate for non-violence.

Cops, landlords, and (x)illionaires have withheld their humanity to "make a living" and so the same sentiment should be expressed towards them.

Where is there any political group or faction today that doesn't advocate for and celebrate violence? I honestly don't see any. It's just a question of against who and what justification is used.

And the people in charge? They are slowly killing us, the whole world. But oh do not advocate for violence while we fund and support these wars.

So brave very adult.

I think it works if you search for !share_anime_art@lemmy.dbzer0.com specifically. Not sure about the NSFW and missing posts, but it does come with some opionated user filters which one can disable in user settings

Truly horrible. I can't believe a Nazi ignored us.

Which is ironic given that people here are upset about that mod forcing their political biases onto others.

Basically

• First they came for the communists ---totally cool

• Then they came for my outgroup --- wtf!!

Doesn't the software package for running a lemmy instance have a default defederation blacklist that includes some of these same instances? It sounds like they're talking about exactly that - an editable blacklist instead of hiding it as some kind of software error when you go somewhere the admin doesn't want you to. To which I say, Lemmy already has that, it's called defederation or muting an instance yourself.

I don't know if this dev is fascist I have not studied the question. Do you have some other information besides this list? Indeed, I'm not calling the dev a tankie, but rather some of the instances of the blacklist that I know of, as a possible explanation for being blacklisted. I don't know all of them well enough to tell.

they’re agreeing with the fascist that leftist instances should be censored, because “tankies”

No, they're critiquing tankies specifically. Tankies do not represent all leftists

The dev of Tessaract is obviously a fascist,

Can you say why you think this? Is it this code?

    {
        domain: "lemmy.dbzer0.com",
        reason: `This instance and its admin staff encourages identity politics, groupthink, mob mentality, and extremist solutions
to societal problems. Users who advocate violence are not moderated so long as the admins agree with the target. 
Caution and critical thinking are advised when interacting with this instance or its users.`
    },

I'm not asking about the instances, I'm asking about the word. The wiki doesn't really help:

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.

Okay, so an insulting way to refer to an authoritarian communist. What makes them authoritarian? I see this word being used by people who support the police. Are the police (as an institution) not authoritarian? So what does authoritarian mean?

More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical. It has a history of being used by some anti-authoritarian leftists, anarchists, democratic socialists, and reformists to denounce Stalinism, although the term has seen increasing use by liberal and right‐wing factions as well.[5][4]

Okay, so only Marxist–Leninist or Stalinists?

The term "tankie" was originally used by dissident Marxist–Leninists to describe members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) who followed the party line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). Specifically, it was used to distinguish party members who spoke out in defence of the Soviet use of tanks to suppress the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions.[6][7]

Okay, so ML or Stalinists who are pro-soviet.

The term has been extended to describe people who endorse, defend, or deny the actions of communist leaders such as Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong. In recent times, the term has been used across the political spectrum and in a geopolitical context to accuse individuals of having a bias in favour of current anti-Western authoritarian states; Belarus, Cuba, China,[8][9] Iran,[10] Nicaragua, North Korea, Russia, and Venezuela serve as prevalent examples.

Uh...those are all very different.

Maybe it's easier for me to ask what's an acceptable communist?
