I wear it as a badge of honor

Might as well post this, seeing as I’ve used it in a few threads.

It's a big club and no one knows how they joined!

I'm just really honoured to be part of this illustrious club 🥹

Well, seing the hammer and sickle banned as regex along with ACAB kind of gives the reason away.

Oh fuck boys, I did it. I'd like to thank everyone that helped me get here.

Where is this list? I wanna know if I made the cut (probably not though because I mostly lurk or only reply 😭)

I’m still fucking pissed I didn’t make the list. I’m an asshole and I deserve to be recognized as such!

Probably saw your name and thought you'd help him purge the violent extremists off this app.

I made 12th on the regex but it appears to be sorted alphabetically

I'm extremely disappointed in myself as well as really confused why I didn't make the list... I feel like I'm pretty clearly anti state and capitalism? Ban me dammit!

I have no idea of what is going on, all I know is that while a shitload of massive shit is going on, and a fuckton of less massive shit is going on, some relatively minor shit has also been going on, and in two weeks I will be down in Germany on taking a ride on an airship and seeing some cool stuff.

Just one more week until my vacation...

Sad that it was posted on .ml as I have it blocked....

How would somebody go about finding their name? Do they just have to download the GitHub repo and search?

11

fucking kidding me.. Ive got myself banned from ml. how do I get on this garbage list?

Run this command in your terminal. Works on Linux, but will need to be modified on windows

$ curl -s https://tesseract.dubvee.org/tesseract/api/system/policy | base64 -d | gunzip > policy.json

Creates the list and puts it into a file called policy. One of the largest issues is that the list isn't even in the repository. Its gotten while the we app is running, and not readily available

10

Part of the problem is that it isn't even in the repo. It's grabbed at runtime, without informing users and having no opt-out.

Probably more likely to make that list than be on it.

Hopefully soon.

Do some of y'all not know that pug is one of the most ban happy people on Lemmy?

In between his defense of Zionism, the invasion of Libya, Finland siding with the Nazis in the Continuation War, the invasion of Venezuela, and the assassination of Khamenei.

But that's just a partial list of the things I've personally argued about with him.

And now you know why he isn't on the list.

2

Oh. That's unfortunate 🥲 I'd enjoyed their posts back when, but haven't been very active since last year, sorry. That's shitty news, but I get where you're coming from, though. 🖖🏼

I am a little sad I haven't commented on things frequently enough to be on the list.

My views and comment history would definitely put me on that list.

And the current American government's list. Though, let's be honest, all of the fediverse is on that one.

Can someone ELI5 what a tesseract shadowban is? I've been seeing it mentioned everywhere, and I don't know what any of those words mean.

3

tesseract is basically another client for lemmy, but the developer creating it has shadowbanned any communities that are to the left of him or trans/queer communities (blahaj.zone, for example).

13

Somehow I made it in too!

Support of my trans hommies and commenting on pictures of cats and opossums has finally paid off!

Nope, the developer made it private, then rolled it back and rebased it so that forks that were made to remove the hidden blocklist can’t accept new changes from main.

It a a bunch of take-my-ball-and-go-home fuckery (and might be illegal, depending on the license it was published under)

7

The author of the code always has the rights to do anything they want with it (except take other people's code and put it in there). The license grants rights under certain conditions to other people.

So this might only be complicated if someone else contributed to the repo, but I doubt it that removing or rebasing someone's contributions can ever be judged illegal.

5

I’m not on the list, does this mean I’m on the right of lemmy or that I just don’t say the quiet part out loud?

2

Was it commenting on that certifiably insane, long-winded, and possibly AI Tesseract post from yesterday?

The people who keep trying to defend this stuff are odd.

lemmy.world

I'm not defending it at all to be clear! I saw a crazy Tesseract person with a crazy rant yesterday.

Oh my bad, I thought you were talking about 2nd blocklist post that Rimu was saying was AI.
