Ok so now I’m “right of Reagan” apparently. Great.
I hope my partner doesn’t find out…
Don’t feel too bad, this is how I found out I’m no longer queer, left of Reagan OR a bottom 😭
I didn’t make the list, but they seemingly wrote code exclusively to interfere with one of the communities I moderate. I couldn’t believe my eyes.
I honestly don’t know how I made it on the list. I mostly just lurk and occasionally post memes about my cats. I’ll take it though, it’s a badge of honour.
The developer must have lost an Alara prerelease to your namesake
How do you find the list?
Someone archived it for us
Yaaay, I’m on the list!
I wanna be on the list!
At least I did something right. Was kinda surprised to find myself on it.
And here I guess I am just too milquetoast to make the cut. My takes are too tepid, my edge too dulled. Am I even trying?
no i feel like i’m just not trying hard enough :(
Sad I didn’t make to the list. I guess I got to up my “Perchance” and “Turd” game
Don’t forget to quote Kant
Out of the loop, what is Tesseract?
EDIT: Apparently its a UI for Lemmy that decided to start hiding leftist posts secretly because the dev is a lib
Hiding leftist posts? What else is left?
Beans
Alternative lemmy interface.
I’m so proud…
I dont think i am on the block list… I am genuinely upset
You are! (if I’m reading my regex correctly)
“^T(o|0)(o|0)l_shed$”,
Oh good! I did see that but I wasn’t sure if it was actually me! I appreciate you confirming!
It’s completely normal for them to be lopsided. I know some people a self-concious about that, but don’t worry.
You mean they are supposed to smash into eachother when I walk???
Maybe we should build a haveIBeenBlocked
Wait, it’s gone?! How can I check if I got invited now?! I picked the wrong week to be away from a pc, I guess.
I feel like I’m missing a key piece of information here. Wtf is “tesseract” in this context?
UPDATE: never mind. Other posts were more detailed. Apparently it’s a Lemmy instance/front end? And the owner(s) compiled a huge block list by usernames.
I still don’t know why it matters, what’s so special about tesseract.
It matters because tesseract was/is used by some large instances, so the tesseract dev was secretly censoring content from thousands of users without their knowledge and even without the knowledge of the instance admins. It’s a pretty big deal because this means that a lot of people on Lemmy have been getting a highly censored view of the community without realizing it. A lot of those people, probably even most of them, came to Lemmy specifically to get away from that kind of thing. So its really shady, a huge breach of trust, and this single dev has been covertly influencing thousands of people’s political exposure.
That’s a great summary, and now so many of the posts complaining about how Lemmy didn’t feel different than what they had come from suddenly could have been a red flag that no one understood. Maybe not, but sure seems a bit correlated.
I see. That’s good to know. Thank you.
A web frontend for lemmy that silently included a blacklist that blocked users for just about everything the dev didn’t like.
