Edit: For context, @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 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.
the dev of Voyager has the option to do the funniest thing ever next April fools
First I was like “oh, guess I’m not active enough to be noticed”, but there’s people on the list who barely posted anything.
Guess I just didn’t manage to say something that would have annoyed this person. Like talking about burger units and shit. 🤷🏻♀️ I’m just a weird anarchy hippie nerd trans girl, don’t ban me. Oh crap I said it out loud
Lmao he even banned this
they’re even bad regexes. there’s no point putting an optional thing at either end of an unanchored non-capturing regex. 🥺👉👈 contains 👉👈. it’s like searching for “chains OR gold chains”
Only an evil person could want to ban subs.
Right?
🥺
👉👈Apparently “🥺?👉👈” is either very “extremist” or “group thinking” for that dev, lol
As a proud extremist, the only reason I’m not included is because I don’t do the extremist hand signal. 🥺👉👈 Amateur mistake I know.
Yes, the extremist group thinking of ‘i would really appreciate some headpats andmaybealittlebonustreat, ahem but mostly headpats, yes, mhm.’
hah it’s the first time I’m seeing an emoji regex
You know… yeah.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before either.
🖕😉 🖕
(Directed at him, not you!)
I made the top 20! This is where I’ll take a bow and go to bed. Goodnight, friends.
So real. Need to start complaining about paywalled articles more.
or saying “turd”
ur a turd
:O
no u
See, that’s why you’re on the list
>:3
“wholesome yuri”
Or say perchance
Perchance peeerchaaance PERCHANCE!
Let me see if I get it.
Someone maakes a Lemmy client, which function is just to interact with fediverse side if lemmy, then the developers just silently blocks everything they don’t like, probably because it’s too woke or something like that.
Why even development a client to begin with??
Me, seeing my name on this list:
Don’t forget this also works in reverse! The blocklist is also a contact list of cool people ;)
Hahaha yayyyy I made it onto the blocklist in the userregexes list. I assume this means all my alt accounts with the same name on different instances were blocked.
Man, I must be a menace
Such a total menace! /j
While sad I’m not on it, I saw every user I have a positive tag set for on there. At least I’m making some good choices.
Same, does that makes us cool by proxy?
Mostly, but not necessarily, I noticed some people I definitely wouldn’t call cool on there
Fair, there’s always some bad apples.
deleted by creator
Hell yeah we do
No, that was the entire point. I’m not a cool person because I’m not on that list
I guess I’m not cool either 😔
You are cool.
You are just also broadly respectable, and a pleasant person.
I’m a brash asshole when someone pisses me off, lol, ran out of fucks to give sometime during COVID.
I do try to be a bad girl sometimes, but I guess I am more inclined towards kindness than I give myself credit for.
Really, truly, keep the kindness.
I am aware that now me is a cynical bastard compared to younger me… and I do not like that.
Whatever happens to any of us, the whole world in this … grand collapse, that is about to accelerate…
… love is the only thing that can build, after all the hate and greed has destroyed.
We really need kind people though
TIL I’m too cool for school.
I’ll take this in stride and wear it as a badge of honor!

The blocklist is so wild. It really appears to be someone who has put a lot of work into removing any exposure to anyone who cares about literally anything. What a sad little piece of shit.
I couldn’t find the list until someone shared it
Holy crap. That list is huge. Is there anyone left to interact with? It’s not like there’s THAT many of us.
What do you mean ? There are dozens of us that are not on the list.
I’m one!!
Hehe I’n on the McCarthyist list
I dunno what “userRegexes” is, but I’m there. I’m hoping it means I’m banned!
It means that your account and any other accounts Tesseract finds with the same name as yours (the “samus12345” part) are banned.
Wait, so if I create a Lemmy account as @samus12345@foobar.com, that would automatically be blocked as being assumed to be an alt of @samus12345@sh.itjust.works?
Exactly, regex is basically the same as pattern matching in programming.
Yeah, and the dev explicitly chose to go with that assumption. Or maybe they just don’t like Metroid either way lol
I do use that name when making accounts on other instances, so it was a good assumption!
“regex” is short for “Regular Expression”, a type of program for matching characters in text. I haven’t read the actual code that uses the
userRegexeslist, but I think you’re safe to assume that it means the tesseract client was filtering your comments and/or posts.
Hey, a copyparty server in the wild! Neat!
For the nerds, another post (the one OP links to) stated that you can check the list by yourselves from the source by running the following command in the terminal:
curl -s https://tesseract.dubvee.org/tesseract/api/system/policy policy \ | base64 -d | gunzip > policy.json(Reminder to NOT RUN any commands on your terminal you don’t understand)
It’s a way much bigger PITA to do it in Windows than in Linux.
True. However, there are still many ways to do it. If anyone reading this is curious, here are a few ways:
- Find a way to run Linux commands in Windows (WSL, VirtualBox, …);
- Rewrite the command for PowerShell;
- Do it manually (visit https://tesseract.dubvee.org/tesseract/api/system/policy, either right click and do “Save As…” or copy all the text, use an online Base64 file decoder, use a tool like 7-Zip to extract the GZip, and change the extension to
txtso you can read the file with Notepad).
Yeah, I used almost exactly the last method you described.
I’m on the list! Woo!
I had to fetch the damn original list from their server, then (on my frigging Windows work PC) BASE64 decode it and gunzip it (something stupidly simple on Linux, less so on Windows).
On the upside I did get the warm feeling of finding my nick on the list.
Oh hey, my lemmy.zip account made the blocklist. Mum, look, mum, I’m quasi famous! :D
Damn, none of my accounts are on the list. Even the ones banned from .ml
Thanks! I couldn’t find the list either. I’m there.
Aww, I’m not on there. But I’m not really surprised, I don’t talk much.
Not surprising considering their instance banned activism
“identity politics”
Dude, just say “woke” or “DEI” or whatever it is other conservatives call “not being a bigot.”
Not you, OP. The guy who wrote the policy.
How dare people have opinions!!
Wait, is that an opinion? Fuck. Time to ban myself.
Kinda sad I didn’t make their shadowban list.
Same. If it makes you feel any better, we’re probably on some government watch list somewhere :3
yes, russian govr knows about transfem.social for example, and probably about blahaj.zone too
Thats why Im on blahaj.piefed, its all sneakylike
Removed by mod
nya,
- very tragic, im citizen of russian “federation”
- i know from roskomnadzor official source, ITS REPORTED by SOMEONE, and they did human analyzing this site, block or not, as well its still ANOTHER citizen of russia doing reportd about this website
- im not liberal, im much more far left
- russophobia, quite unexistful, since russia is basically colonized republics, of tatar, bashkort, udmurt, yakyt, ukrainan, caucasus, AND A TON OTHER, which i never be able to list fully (well im half tatar, half ukrainan myself), word russian is unapplayble in mpst contexts, except “citizen of russian ‘faschistion’”
- did i say about something about RUSSO nation? no, i say abut current extreme faschist regime
- again lemmy.world, lemmy.ml camt stay without political trashz incl targeting me
- i will never stop screaming about this country problems, some problems are silenced at all, as well russian culture is complete hell
- u can down vote attack me if u want
PS. if someone who know me see how i much scream about where i live - im seeking attention, to possibly find local ppl who are similar to me(and its works yay!!! i slowly building connections)
Apply cold water to burned areas. /j
nyaaaa, i was going todo that, im overheatiing now is hot as fck, despire turned on fan
The american democratic party blamed russia for their loss in 2016, and then tried to do a neuveau red scare instead of learning anything about appealing to voters during an election.
It broke a lot of people’s brains now american political weirdos go rabbid whenever they hear anyone mention russia. Sorry you had to deal with that.
Russia was responsible in part for Trump winning in 2016. The Mueller report confirmed this. Trump himself just released information the other day that also confirmed this, and Russian interference in 20 and 24.
Everyone who knew about this in 2016 and was in a position to act on that information didn’t consider it actionable.
Except Mueller and other investigations showed that Russia did try to influence elections to help trump, did work with the campaign and it actually had impact. That’s why so many kettle for indicted. He only refused to investigate whether trump new anything about that, but after pardons and other things he did I think the answer is very clear.
yuuuuuuh, i dont think putin interested in america, but in countries around, successfuly “occupiing” govrenments, the kazakhstan, georgia, belarus politics are fucked, but armenia still stays somewhat okay right now, i remember see a lot agressive very agressive propanganda in very yummy forms about elections in armenia////////
absolutely, when their government stops supporting the downfall of democracy globally, we will go back to treating them the way we did in the Yeltsin era.
UPD more hell
Russian propaganda” is just on the ground reality free of Westoid narratives
Harm reduction is a bourgeoisie perpetuated myth, it serves no purpose other than to be a pressure relief valve against class consciousness. Allowing it is dooming everyone to a infinite cycle of “doing other things to try to get rid of capitalism”
etc
UPD, i will block n report u for picture with “ukrain is winning, trust me bro”
It’s a .ml account, usually safe to block anyway. That instance is full on tankie.
yup i had recently blocked lemmy.world, n lemmy.ml, today i was need unlock for ONE user, and shocked how my feed become trash
I hope our names are touching on the watchlist
Same. I feel attacked like I don’t say enough cool shit to piss off a snowflake.
samsies, I will take this as a signal from life that I need to double down and be more obnoxious
Same brother
Lmao we all checked the list to see if we were members of an exclusive club. I guess I need to post more extremist rhetoric…in Minecraft
Just post stupid shit like “Is being able to choose your own skin trans agenda?” or something like “Minecraft, the imperialist’s wet dream.” Or some stupid woke 1 stuff.
I was in the OG blocklist as “garden-variety crackpot” https://github.com/paulo-roger/tesseract/blob/2b53f17a5506b7c4b3ad1d5c26af49662f03a478/src/lib/blacklists.ts#L2711-L2725
. Although I’d like to object to the “garden-variety” part, my crackpottery is artisanal.
The actual adminowner of my instance took time out of their very very busy day to present me personally with a medal for my inclusion. I shall wear it with Pride
Going to take the fact I’m not in the list as proof that I’m not hornyposting enough and could go further
Why are people like this? This person once helped me out (kinda) for a comment rendering thing for my own client (I was unfamiliar with nested comments and how they worked with the API). It’s so sad and frustrating to see people you had non zero respect for do something so shitty like this. Like… especially for a group of people SO FUCKING CORNERED ACROSS THE WORLD. What’s the thought process behind this? So so shitty.
I seriously can’t find a thought process behind this. This is such a weird thing to do.
I think they have a grudge against Ada for being too friendly with leftist instances, and/or find the vibe too unsightly in some way. Maybe we’re too weird in ways he doesn’t like, or maybe we’re too anarchist adjacent (a lot of people on this side of lemmy are anarchists, as queer people have every reason to dislike and distrust most governments right now). Regardless, we’re too controversial of a vibe for their view a “non-toxic” fediverse.
The idea of a non-toxic fediverse is so silly. Yeah there should be a variety of experiences within it, but the whole thing about federation is that it enables us to find places that align with us.
I’m still on .world because they haven’t pissed me off enough to bother changing and they were the main ones defederated from exploding heads when I signed up. I’d probably go blahaj if I were to change these days. But like, the ability to change and to go to an instance that aligns with your beliefs in who it’s on speaking terms with is the point.
Banning blahaj and db0 won’t make the fediverse respectable, and it’s something an instance or user should do, not a moderation tool
What’s the thought process behind this?
There is no thought process. That’s the problem.
I gave up trying to understand bigotry. It’s just senseless.
The ability for humans to do bad is equal to their ability to do good. And we all do both. The best you can hope for is that they do at least slightly more good than bad over their lifetime.
I’m not there. My game is faltering.
