Good news, the Tesseract repo has either gone private or been deleted, and now ruleturns a 404 error

Well, good for reducing its presence. Not so much for forensics, unless someone grabbed a copy before deletion.

~~db0's fork was from another fork, which is almost three years old at this point.~~ Scratch that, github just reassigns the fork parent if the source repo gets deleted.

Nope, db0 fork is based on the latest release, it just got relocated because of how GitHub works. (If you delete the repo, fork's parents get assigned to another fork.)

That took longer than I care to admit to properly parse. Kept conflating the fork parent as the code base, and wondering why it was so confusing.

Probably time for my morning coffee.

How does it decide which fork becomes the parent?

Haii, sorry, I’m still learning how to use computers

I’ve been loosely following the drama but I don’t really know what tesseract is or how it relates to lemmy as a whole. I think I saw that blahaj zone was using an older version, but they got included in the new shadowban list and are looking to move away. But what actually is it? Or what was it lol

Basically, it's a frontend/dashboard/UI that you can use instead of the default interface. Think of it as KDE for Linux, its the thing that shows you buttons and menus you can use to interact with Lemmy. It's a thing that people hosting an instance use mostly.

And if you're thinking "my interface system shouldn't decide my blocklist!" then yes, exactly.

Carnelian@lemmy.world · 32 pts · 26d (1 reply)

Oh gotcha, wow, yeah I guess that would be fueling my confusion. Insane that a user interface itself would add a blocklist lmao. Like trying to make a steering wheel that won’t let you drive to bike shops because you think cyclists are too left leaning. Just a totally nonsensical concept

Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works · 25 pts · 26d

Also, to make it worse, it's open source software, but the blocklist isn't in the software. When you start up the software, it downloads a specific file (not in the open code) that has the block list.

There are a few open blocklists too though, like normal. You can turn those on or off at will. But not this secret one.

So yeah, it's 100% malicious.

haven't used computers much

It's like KDE desktop on Linux

Can't tell if serious or sockpuppet

Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works · 10 pts · 25d (1 reply)

That's uhhh... Yeah, maybe not the best example.

Look, I'm on Lemmy, my brain just automatically assumes everyone here is a huge nerd like me.

I understood, but I cant speak to the asker's tech level. But then, even as a hobbyists i use Linux and have ancient Fedora training.

Maybe easier to say its an interface for accessing lemmy and comparing it to your web browser though. Like saying Firefox or Edge shouldn't be able to filter what users and videos you can see on YouTube.

Still close enough to get the picture.

Can I still check if I made the list?

BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 26d (1 reply)

Here is a copyparty of the list. Sorry, I did not see you on it. 🥺

Thank you!

Can someone confirm If I was on the shadowban despite being mostly inactive on Lemmy?

BigDiction@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 24d (2 replies)

https://copyparty.adrian.place/u/?doc=policy.json

I don’t see you in the users list

kyoko916@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 24d (1 reply)

Interesting, I think should be more active lol

schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 24d

I can block you if it will help you feel more accomplished?

alapakala@quokk.au · 1 pts · 25d (4 replies)

Waiting to read when blacklist.ts will be removed.

shininghero@pawb.social · 3 pts · 25d (3 replies)

That's 95% genuine anti-spam, and it looks like db0 has already cleaned up the offending entries

EatMyPixelDust@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 24d (1 reply)

I really can't see anything on the new blacklist that isn't actual garbage. Unless you're a Russian bot, or a MAGA moron.

hexbear test domain is still blocked, fandom.com, socialskateclub.com,

And the fact it's again, **a client side filter, unexposed instead of being **A FRONTEND OPTION** upon setting up your account.** I may not agree with the actual legit spam domains, **but this list should be frontend exposed,** dangerous ones server side exposed (“These blocklist server side, they cannot be reversed, sorry”)

You’ve never done counterintelligence‽
