about a month ago some shmuck dev that maintained a lemmy frontend(tesseract) hid a secret blacklist of 300+ users in his code.
what it meant was that if you were on that list, anyone using that frontend wouldn't see your posts or comments. both users and admins alike were left unaware that this was happening.
I was one of the lucky few on the list.
and yes, I can get a bit trolly, but my purpose is to push boundaries and stimulate individual thought, even if I'm the bad guy.
They regularly put up a banner on the top of every lemmy instance that doesn't manually remove it (I havent seen an instance that does) begging for funding for Lemmy development which is done by people like Dessalines, owner and operator of ML, known advocate for the Russian invasion and person who claims Trans people are just a liberal psyop, and Trump supporter.
If you want a list of citations it's one of the pinned posts on !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works titled "Documentation of Lemmy.ml's Extremism [Megathread]"
Furthermore, even using it at all promotes its funding by the ill informed.

I don't get it, but I saw somebody once refer to you as "a necessary evil". What did they mean by that?

Another ban list person. My only inner monologue response to it was:

Your gif extended so long had to consider blocking you.

I was wondering if it was just me.

Wow, that’s a 1990s GeoCities-looking GIF. There were so many done in that style.

My favourite thing about lemmy is that if something is down, I can just switch accounts/instances and viola.

I don't see anything in !lemmyworld@lemmy.world, what was it?
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 14d
Thank you whoever for arranging to be down while I was loudly and profanely working on my bike and then in the tub.
Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 14d
Ok good so it wasn't just me
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 14d
i was wondering why there was a lack of trek posts recently.
Tango@piefed.ca · 2 pts · 14d
I guess Piefed and kbin were unaffected
FiniteBanjo@feddit.online · -4 pts · 14d
Ya'll should consider moving to Piefed. It won't have any impact on your uptime but at least it doesn't inadvertently fund pro-Russian fascism.
Tango@piefed.ca · 1 pts · 14d
Fund how?
