Thanks @Sprinks, I had been following this for a few days but couldn’t find the list until you shared it here. I was certain I wasn’t cool enough to have angered this twat edgelord, but here I am in bright and agnsty glory!
Oh, so he thinks most of us are violent nutjobs. Well if thinking billionaires and child molesters should be exterminated is wrong I don’t want to be right.
I just thought it was usernames. I can’t believe he blocked link shortners and go fundme. I get link shorteners to an extent, but outright blocking them instead of giving a warning?
You know how people used voyager/boost/etc to access reddit? Well the web app is a similar idea (adds features, filter options, etc for customizing your Lemmy experience) except imagine the dev decided to add a secret filter list to the app where they added keywords, users, and subreddits that they didn’t like so you simply wouldn’t see them.
A fair number of instances had implemented the web app (called Tesseract, search Lemmy for that term if you want more details).
The reason it’s good to be on the list is because the list includes a bunch of popular lefty communities including some entire instances like Blahaj. Being listed individually just means you made the dev butthurt at some point so they decided people using their front end shouldn’t get to see your posts.
One detail I’m still not fully clear on is how widespread the effects are. Say an instance uses the tesseract frontend. Does that mean that everyone who accesses lemmy via that instance was having all of this filtering applied? Does it only apply if they were accessing it via the web? If they logged into the same instance via a smartphone app, would it still be applying all of the hidden tesseract filters?
It’s just a web client, logging in from other spaces wouldn’t be impacted. It would be at its own URL like Tesseract.Lemmy.World for Lemmy.world (made up example). It’s implemented at the instance level by instance admins. A lot of instances implement multiple options for their userbase so only users using that option would be impacted.
Im so lost and confused. What is this list and why am i on it?
Edit: lmao, skimming over the keyword list. 🥺?👉👈
Edit2:
Took some back tracking, but here is the story: https://lemmy.world/post/49778353 Here is the list itself: https://copyparty.adrian.place/u/?doc=policy.json
Edit 3: It was the fish, wasnt it?
I walk among giants!

Woo, fuck yeah, made the list!

Finally I can check for myself!
…YES I’M ON THE LIST
I don’t even publically say that much ““radical left”” stuff on here
I’m disappointed I’m not lefty enough for the club 😭
Cool I’m on a list I didn’t know about either, but I’m not surprised.
Will they unblock wholesomeyuri and blahaj
🥺👉👈
Nice I’m on it
Apparently I’m not blocky enough for the blocklist.
