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?
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.
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.
Really? I'm malicious spammer, hate-monger or blackhat state actor? News to me, but good to know.

I know, I think it's funny. But someone has to call out the guy who's agreeing with Admiral Patrick and always seems to have a space/star trek themed name. Either an excellent shit poster that I get to set up, or it's one of their buddies/alts.
All of this shit falls flat when the dev themself admits they hid the feature to disable deep in the app and even called it "toxic mode". Is saying "perchance" toxic? Because that's one of their blocked phrases. Fuck no, it's not. This is just shit the personally dislike and put it in under the guise of making the fediverse more normie friendly.
As if silently hiding content with phrases like "perchance" and causing a massive drama makes the fediverse more normie friendly.
You're assuming his apologia is not disingenuous. The notes he added in the commit messages and the extent to which he blocked users who were indirectly implicated in his accusations don't line up with his explanations.
There's also the fact that much of it is caught under a very broad net of "promoting violence" without any examples provided of what constitutes such a thing. He used that exact explanation to justify banning blahaj.zone, where he said that some users did so and the admins did not act on it, which prompted him to blacklist the entire instance and the admins specifically.
This isn't even getting into the intentional inaccuracies about the nature of his "Toxic Mode", or his entire rant on db0 which is not only dishonest and weirdly personal, but also straight up lying about what happened and why. There's zero way to say that exposing his blacklist is "going Karen" like he did, and it's a straight lie to say that nobody had a problem with his blacklisting until db0 complained when the situation is that db0 made the existence of the blocklist known.
The philosophy of federation is that such whims should be openly handled on the federation level, not in a secret blacklist of a front end that was openly available to all.
It seems they want to silence any kind of hate speech, so I guess some hateful leftists or aggressive trans people (as few as there may be) felt discriminated.
Hate speech is speech encouraging/justifying violence based on inherent characteristics, such as race, gender, sexuality, etc, not just speech you hated lmao.
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.

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.
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!!)
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.

Eh, I guess my opinion is somewhat colored by seeing some of the things they decided to block. Like "perchance" stood out. None of that specific information was in this post.
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.
Yeah it's not for me either, but I also believe that people have a right to not have other's speech or behavior forced upon them, which is kind of exactly what ActivityPub was created to facilitate and what separates it from corporate platforms.
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.
At this point they should just have a whitelist, that's a hell of a list! There's some users I recognise from my instance who are chill so I can't imagine how they ended up on this list.
I feel like one of the things he said was that he blacklisted people who "regularly post things normal people don't want to see" (or something along those lines). I assumed that was a blanket statement to cover Violet and anyone else whose posts have made him feel uncomfortable.
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.
To the fascist nazi scumbag, “violent extremist” means anyone that opposes genocide, anyone that has espoused consequences for murder, torture, and oppression, or anyone that has ever made fun of Charlie “Goebbels” Kirk.
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... 🤣
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? 🤪
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.
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
I never watched more than a few episodes of Frasier, but I remember a commercial for an episode of it - one I unsuccessfully tried to find online just now. I shall paraphrase:
Niles(?): "What perfume is that?"
Unknown woman: "It's 'Obsession.'"
Niles: "No, it's not, I was just curious, really."
I still haven't seen the movie, but I've seen a synopsis of the movie.
I am so disappointed.
But I'm hopeful.
Because what I really want to see is part two of this movie where a random group of like a hundred people get one and they know it will grant one wish and what wishes they make and what the consequences of a hundred random people across the world having a single wish granted all at the same time or within like the same few weeks.
Mothers grieving over their dead children who wished to be able to fly, but never thought about landing.
Competition from 10 or 15 people who wish to be the richest person in the world one after the other and having their wish granted only to be killed a day later by the next person who wishes to be the richest person in the world and having all of their riches transferred to that person.
People wishing for magic and being haunted by demons.
People wishing that their lost loved ones would come back to life and having the undead rise.
There is so much potential in this concept if I just hope somebody has the balls to actually reach out and go for it because it would be such a good movie.
I still haven’t seen the movie, but I’ve seen a synopsis of the movie.
So, I feel like they leaned a bit hard on jump-scares to deliver the horror element. But the Wishing Willow is really just a vehicle for the plot, it's not important to the plot. The story is about male loneliness and youthful impatience and not being able to see past your own unhappiness to recognize the importance of other people.
And it's also about Inde Navarrette hitting it out of the fucking park with her acting.
Don't get hung up on the magical realism of the MacGuffin that kicks off the movie's 2nd Act. If you enjoy a good popcorn horror/thriller and don't mind liberal use of gross-out material, it's a stellar film.
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 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.
Just think of what would piss a pedohitler hooligan and be it publicly. Try to state it often so they can notice you eventually. It's considered a bonus if you make it to the regex user list because it means they want you silenced even if you try to bounce instance.
You can check it out from your own instance by going to https://t.lemmy.world/ (that might be an older version though? at one point Tesseract development was frozen but then it later resumed).
Your instance sidebar also mentions several other alternative UIs:
Political violence is a nessicary to protect the vulnerable and pretending all violence is the same is chosing the side that already controls what is considered "violence".
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?
the question mark only means the first emoji is optional. If you explicitly add it the RegExp unfortunately doesn't match it anymore and you will forever be a rightist or whatever
Not to speak for them, but my understanding is they abhor all calls to violence..... And paradoxically, supporting Palestinian freedom is maybe a call to violence?
I don't want to make claims that don't exist, but that's how I could explain them blocking statements like this.
Wasn't Admiral Patrick one of the devs that got caught upvoting all the Zionist propoganda posts like a year and a half ago? I wished I saved that thread. None of the most egregious Zionists accounts are on the ban list even though they are very abrasive and political extremists. I wouldn't be surprised if the rest was just a cover for that.
Using the word Zionist or the Epstein Class hides your comment :/ and I swear every account that's critical of Israel is on that list.
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.
Edit:just to add, I also know one person on the list outside of Lemmy comments and they are a great person. They probably had one angry comment and the Dev took exception to that.
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
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.
The instances, according to his rambling post, were blocked because of admin stances on violence. I'm sure you've seen violent posts on Lemmy calling for people to be Luigid or whatever.
Similar to my stance on individuals, I think that stuff crosses a line and needs to be removed from the fediverse, but again it's not the place of a front-end developer to enforce that, especially not by muting the entire instance.
I think if he's right about instance admins, there's an argument to use the existing mechanism (defederation) which won't make me very popular, but hopefully clarifies where I stand.
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.
I'm still trying to understand what the hell Tessaract is..
I've only moved over Lemmy in the last two weeks.
Before I was banned on Reddit there was also something everyone was angry about different reddit apps.
I've never understood any of this.. I just want to talk to people, read silly shit and annoy everyone.
It's basically just a front end. Like a stylesheet. It should do nothing but display the existing data in certain ways.
At least that's what they're supposed to be. This person decided to force their own views on everyone who uses it without disclosing that it's doing that.
Thank you for the link, I was seeing this wave of tesseract posts and I kept thinking "wtf why so many ppl are interacting with OCR stuff.. I get Lemmy is nerdy but wth??"
Bro reddit banned me too. I just decided I'm done this time, not gonna bother creating a new account this time. They can sit there and circlejerk , I'm finally on a good lemmy app and there are no ads.
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.
Didn't their drummer get into some controversy with his opinion on tips that the merch booth was getting? But yeah, that's the only negative news I heard about them lol
The dev included an optional toggle to enable "toxic mode" which basically gives you posts and comments from all users and instances. A lot of folks on the "toxic" instances are choosing to interpret this as an attack.
The irony is that throwing tantrums is how they ended up on the "toxic" list in the first place.
Reputedly, THIS list is able to be disabled, trivially easily too. This is the second, hidden, much larger one containing usernames.
It is the OTHER list - the first, smaller, instance-level one - that seems to not be able to be disabled.
So Kirk is not lying.
Neither were made very clear to people though, that's accurate. If db0 hadn't been forced into digging deep to find out why the interface was broken, this might have gone under the radar for many more months.
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 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?
I think it's less about genuinely caring at this point and more about it being a home-grown meme. Plus it's perfectly designed to be popular around here because it directly involves individuals and you don't have to lean on Star Trek, Linux, or even beans for it to get attention. Those three things are good, but people like variety.
It's a humerous situation. Not many actually care just some giggles can be harvested from some asshat's fear. IE: No one really cared about boaty mcboat face.

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.

nimble@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 23 pts · 9d
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

Because what I really want to see is part two of this movie where a random group of like a hundred people get one and they know it will grant one wish and what wishes they make and what the consequences of a hundred random people across the world having a single wish granted all at the same time or within like the same few weeks.
Mothers grieving over their dead children who wished to be able to fly, but never thought about landing.
Competition from 10 or 15 people who wish to be the richest person in the world one after the other and having their wish granted only to be killed a day later by the next person who wishes to be the richest person in the world and having all of their riches transferred to that person.
People wishing for magic and being haunted by demons.
People wishing that their lost loved ones would come back to life and having the undead rise.
There is so much potential in this concept if I just hope somebody has the balls to actually reach out and go for it because it would be such a good movie.

So, I feel like they leaned a bit hard on jump-scares to deliver the horror element. But the Wishing Willow is really just a vehicle for the plot, it's not important to the plot. The story is about male loneliness and youthful impatience and not being able to see past your own unhappiness to recognize the importance of other people.
And it's also about Inde Navarrette hitting it out of the fucking park with her acting.
Don't get hung up on the magical realism of the MacGuffin that kicks off the movie's 2nd Act. If you enjoy a good popcorn horror/thriller and don't mind liberal use of gross-out material, it's a stellar film.

The instances, according to his rambling post, were blocked because of admin stances on violence. I'm sure you've seen violent posts on Lemmy calling for people to be Luigid or whatever.
Similar to my stance on individuals, I think that stuff crosses a line and needs to be removed from the fediverse, but again it's not the place of a front-end developer to enforce that, especially not by muting the entire instance.
I think if he's right about instance admins, there's an argument to use the existing mechanism (defederation) which won't make me very popular, but hopefully clarifies where I stand.

Didn't their drummer get into some controversy with his opinion on tips that the merch booth was getting? But yeah, that's the only negative news I heard about them lol

Nevermind ! I now understand, thanks to the comments !

The dev included an optional toggle to enable "toxic mode" which basically gives you posts and comments from all users and instances. A lot of folks on the "toxic" instances are choosing to interpret this as an attack.
The irony is that throwing tantrums is how they ended up on the "toxic" list in the first place.

Not optional, and not made clear to anybody. Hence the backlash. You're lying.

Reputedly, THIS list is able to be disabled, trivially easily too. This is the second, hidden, much larger one containing usernames.
It is the OTHER list - the first, smaller, instance-level one - that seems to not be able to be disabled.
So Kirk is not lying.
Neither were made very clear to people though, that's accurate. If db0 hadn't been forced into digging deep to find out why the interface was broken, this might have gone under the radar for many more months.

What was the criteria for getting on the list?
BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 9d
Being trans, being leftist, opposing genocide, demanding consequences for crimes against humanity.
You know, “violent extremist” stuff.

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 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.
luciferofastora@feddit.org · 2 pts · 9d
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?

I think it's less about genuinely caring at this point and more about it being a home-grown meme. Plus it's perfectly designed to be popular around here because it directly involves individuals and you don't have to lean on Star Trek, Linux, or even beans for it to get attention. Those three things are good, but people like variety.

It's a humerous situation. Not many actually care just some giggles can be harvested from some asshat's fear. IE: No one really cared about boaty mcboat face.
