Funny thing is, an awful lot of actually dangerous extremists won’t be on that list, because they don’t post the shit they’re doing on the Internet.
I’m not on the list. But I’m banned from Reddit, so I got that going for me, which is nice.
I left reddit before they started extreme ban hammer , and i didn’t make the tesseract list. Wtf am i even doing with my life?
Being a loser. Git gud bro. (Jk I’m also not on the list and I’m not aware of being banned on reddit but I left before the extreme ban hammer too)
I still wonder what it is I said/posted that did it. Was it the Luigi pictures? The guillotine images? Or my relentless disdain for all things Microslop?
why not ask him?
@ptz@dubvee.org what dumbshit things did we say that hurt your fragile ego?
oh never mind, I’m on the block list too.
Seriously, I wanted to open a PR to add myself to the list, but the fucker took the repo offline because he couldn’t handle the backlash. Wussy.
My internet poisoned brain trying to figure out what permutation of pussy starts with w
Years of criticism for posting TikTok screencaps and for what? Not on the list!
Just know that everyone on that list is a violent extremist including me
Maaaan guess I need to post more
Holy fuck I made the list wow
Goddamn I’m not just banned as a user, I’m banned as a specific userRegex. That makes me 2x more extremist than the average banned user.
Get on my level you losers.
Am an average joe, and i also got banned via regex.
So you are not thaat extremist, just an average joe level extremist
I don’t get it. Is this some personal vendetta the dev has? Have they really been in this many internet arguments? Where did this list come about and why?
Here’s their full explanation: https://lemmy.world/post/49817942
It’s pretty long and includes some insightful details about implementation (making the blocklist’s usage at the discretion of the instance admin though not transparent of its contents and defaulting it to enabled) but this quote boils down the underlying sentiment pretty well:
“These are all rough edges of the threadiverse which I am attempting to round off so we might actually be able to retain some level headed people instead of scraping the bottom of the barrel by being a dumping ground for people rejected by civil society."
When you examine the list, by and large, it’s pretty reasonable. Lots of false news, state propaganda, spammers, etc. But also the entire lemmy.blahaj.zone instance (where many of lemmy’s trans denizens call home). We’re included in what the lead developer describes as “bottom of the barrel” “people rejected by civil society.”
Though I do fear the backlash. You’ve got a bunch of malicious spammers, hate-mongers and blackhat state actors who now have an open window to cause a lot of harm (harassment & general sowing of discontent) with the convenient smoke screen of upset trans folks who it can be blamed on.
some personal vendetta
Seems like it’s hubris / arrogance - a poorly considered attempt to create some kind of ideal social experience.
Been reading up on it a bit, yeah, seems to be the case indeed. Shame it went that way for them.
They posted an explanation in the tesseract community, but it boils down to they want the fediverse to succeed and replace reddit, but there is a contingent of toxic users that they feel is hindering that goal so they precompiled a list for new instance admins.
It’s fully optional and can easily be disabled in the UI
It is not fully optional. It was obfuscated and unremovable. That’s why the backlash has been so severe.
Not to mention, why should a user interface make that decision? That’s up to individual server admins and their userbase.
Fully agree on the weirdness that this would somehow be the concern of a frontend. Nah brh. Very strange.
The author offers a lengthy explanation in their own words as to precisely why this was done. TLDR: people are free to stop using it, but he’s making these changes because he wants to offer this service on behalf of those who don’t enjoy all the toxicity here.
Lol. TIL I’m a violent extremist. Me. Boring, professional, suit wearing, family of four having, generic white guy.
The world this guy lives in must be truly weird.
Boring, professional, suit wearing, family of four having, generic white guy.
That is like the quintessential serial killer description by his neighbors.
I mean, to be fair, here is that entire paragraph for context:
As will be explained further, there are 10 rules that are enforced, the biggest one being a very basic “don’t be a violent extremist”. That’s probably 30% of the list. Another 50% are just alts of Dwazou (persistent, long-term ban evader), and the remaining 20% just garden-variety spammers and toxic people who scare the normies away.
Based on this, it is much more likely that you are an alt of Dwazou. (Or maybe I am? 🤪 Statistically, between the three of us, you me and the author, ONE of us must be!!)
Lmfao. I didn’t make it more than a few paragraphs because it’s written with the maturity of a 10 year old in a chocolate sausage museum.
You can really tell they’re up for an honest and open conversation with the community, really trying to improve the Fediverse, with their locking of all comments.
He’s clearly the toxic one and is projecting his issues onto hundreds of others.
k
THAT list is able to be disabled, though people are mad about its discoverability and transparency.
The OTHER list, the smaller instance-level one, reportedly cannot be disabled, seemingly the only recourse for those instances on it are to use his fork of the code.
This is from db0’s reporting, I have not attempted to confirm personally, but I would be happy to be corrected if need be.
Hey, thanks. I had heard about the list but didn’t know where to find it. Turns out I’m on it, too. Badge of honor.
Same. I even got a whole ass regex.
Tesseract dev: “I made a list of people who willfully misconstrue things to create drama and play the victim”.
people on that list: “OHH WOW SO I’M A VIOLENT EXTREMIST NOW???”
TIL the wholesome yuri community are violent extremists.
Are you trying to create drama and play the victim while complaining about other people supposedly creating drama and playing the victim?
They have a cure for that, it’s called fucking off.
im no victim i’m the winner here lol
Winners are well-regarded for doing everything you’re doing.
nice
IIRC they said that who is on the list is either extremist or toxic
Some even proudly so, from the looks of things:-P.
they’re allowed lol
Honestly, incels have a greater need than normies for a space on the internet where they can be as toxic as they like. On account of nobody willing to listen to them irl… 🤣
They already have Twitter and Reddit!
And Twitch (where “sadge” derives from, according to my Google-fu), and Tiktok, and Instagram, and don’t forget Lemmy, and… but the thing is, when you’ve been banned from ALL of those, where else do you go next, other than a free instance with an open sign-up policy? 🤪
I’m not on the list and I wouldn’t have cared (usually I prefer not to be on any list) but these posts are making me feel left out.
Are my left leaning comments too vanilla?
I have no idea what tesseract is and at this point, I’m too afraid to ask.
You can check it out from your own instance by going to https://t.lemmy.world/ (that might be an older version though? at one point Tesseract development was frozen but then it later resumed).
Your instance sidebar also mentions several other alternative UIs:
https://a.lemmy.world/ - Alexandrite UI https://photon.lemmy.world/ - Photon UI https://m.lemmy.world/ - Voyager mobile UI https://old.lemmy.world/ - A familiar UI https://blorp.lemmy.world/ - Blorp UIIt’s a front end layout that makes for fancy visual customization of lemmy.
Yes, this is definitely “me”. Don’t hate me bc I’m pretty! Just pity my inability to sepll. 🤪
Edit:
me:
(for those not in the know, this graphic is reminiscent of the title for this OP)
I would like to submit my application.
Fuck the establishment, down with tesseract and its shitty dev, roll some heads for peace.
xxx swooper
Me too please.
Political violence is a nessicary to protect the vulnerable and pretending all violence is the same is chosing the side that already controls what is considered “violence”.
Welp, you’ve definitely made my list <3
Congrats!
Everyone knows what this means but nobody knows what it’s from.
“I was to your left”
Is that a movie or something?
Obsession.
I never watched more than a few episodes of Frasier, but I remember a commercial for an episode of it - one I unsuccessfully tried to find online just now. I shall paraphrase:
Niles(?): “What perfume is that?”
Unknown woman: “It’s ‘Obsession.’”
Niles: “No, it’s not, I was just curious, really.”
I hope you have enjoyed this flawed reenactment.
I think the movie is obsession
Thank you
I know what it’s from and I can’t stop thinking about it.
I still haven’t seen the movie, but I’ve seen a synopsis of the movie.
I am so disappointed.
But I’m hopeful.
Because what I really want to see is part two of this movie where a random group of like a hundred people get one and they know it will grant one wish and what wishes they make and what the consequences of a hundred random people across the world having a single wish granted all at the same time or within like the same few weeks.
Mothers grieving over their dead children who wished to be able to fly, but never thought about landing.
Competition from 10 or 15 people who wish to be the richest person in the world one after the other and having their wish granted only to be killed a day later by the next person who wishes to be the richest person in the world and having all of their riches transferred to that person.
People wishing for magic and being haunted by demons.
People wishing that their lost loved ones would come back to life and having the undead rise.
There is so much potential in this concept if I just hope somebody has the balls to actually reach out and go for it because it would be such a good movie.
I still haven’t seen the movie, but I’ve seen a synopsis of the movie.
So, I feel like they leaned a bit hard on jump-scares to deliver the horror element. But the Wishing Willow is really just a vehicle for the plot, it’s not important to the plot. The story is about male loneliness and youthful impatience and not being able to see past your own unhappiness to recognize the importance of other people.
And it’s also about Inde Navarrette hitting it out of the fucking park with her acting.
Don’t get hung up on the magical realism of the MacGuffin that kicks off the movie’s 2nd Act. If you enjoy a good popcorn horror/thriller and don’t mind a film that’s liberal with its gross-out material, it’s a stellar film.
Adding to this: the lighting work was fantastic. Lots of darkness and silhouettes really added to the creepiness.
You’re looking for Bruce Almighty.
But as a thriller slash horror movie, not as a comedy.
Yeah, how do I get on that list? Seems like the hot list right now.
Is there like, a website, or a form? Do I need to fail an IQ test? You know, like cops can’t score greater than 80 on an IQ test.
The shibboleth is as follows:
Death to Moe!
Abolish guillotines.
Yuri, perchance?
Post this exactly at midnight, three days in a row, at the appointed place.
You can’t just say perchance
And get it wet
You just need to be fucking awesome. I’m on it, by the way.
Just think of what would piss a pedohitler hooligan and be it publicly. Try to state it often so they can notice you eventually. It’s considered a bonus if you make it to the regex user list because it means they want you silenced even if you try to bounce instance.
Good luck!
I am not in the list
It took me way too long to figure out that this isnt about the band TesseracT and I was very confused, but now relieved.
Love how people turned fact of being banned in an achievement. For some reason this doesn’t happen for communities.
Hahahahaha. People post their site bans from grad all the time.
I’m proudly banned from ml.
How does one go about checking that?
Love the username btw 🍌
Yes it does, unfortunately.
