Edit: For context, @[email protected] discovered that the developer of Tesseract had discretely banned numerous instances and disguised it as a server error. This included more heavily leftist instances, but also blahaj.zone. More recently, it was discovered that they had also been suppressing individual users, phrases, and communities that criticize power tripping on fedi.

Needless to say, I implore non blahaj.zone users to drop the Tesseract client (support for the client has already been dropped for blahaj). So called “liberals” like this who call out “extremism on both sides” are an insult to the values they claim to be upholding.

    Damn, that’s too bad. Even mine made the list, and I’m relatively new!

    In the future, you should try calling for violence against billionaires more. Then you can probably make the list.

    When you say “leftists” do you mean “progressives and anarchists” or do you mean “Tankies”?

    Frankly, DB0 has very low credibility in my books, they’ve been caught both-sidesing and enabling both white supremacists and tankies operations on the fediverse.

    EDIT: I took a moment to check out the post, I do disagree with secretly hardcoding a ban or censor rather than leaving it configurable.

    EDIT 2: Did I make the list?

      I’m on the list, and I’m about as far as you can get from a tankie while still being left.

      When you say “tankies” you mean “anyone who has a problem with genocide.”

      Every time.

          We’re not selling weapons to Russia or China. We don’t run interference for either of them at the UN. We’re not trying to merge our military with theirs.

    You were one of the few I remembered to check, seeing you not on the list was a surprise! I’m curious if they literally just blocked people on some kind of key word they said and you just happen to use alternative phases. Lol
