Just some Lemmy web front end that rolls with some instances for which the admin injected a block list for accounts that are unapologetically pro-trans and/or leftist. People, myself included, are on that block list. There is much more to it but that's the jist.
So just the usual stupidity then. Cool. Wish people could just act normal. Diversity is a natural thing and to deny it is insanity.
You're probably blocked now for saying that.
Good?
Yeah, it is a sign that you are a good and decent person IMO.
Awesome, do I get a club card? Is there a badge? Do we have weekly or monthly meetings? ;)
actually, yes, there is a medallion.
you just know he totally comes here on another instance to read the responses anyway
we seeeee you
how else would he get his little peepee hard enough if he doesn't feel belittled?
Isn't the whole of blahaj blocked anyway? The dev who implemented this is an asshole of the first order. Implementing a broad block list without the knowledge of the users is one thing, but the statement they gave afterwards, my god, what a knob.
well, now I'm insulted that I wasn't on that list.
I know, me too! At least there is comfort in knowing he can’t shut us all up.
PRO-CHOICE 🩷 PRO-TRANS 🩷 ANTI-MAGA ❌ ANTI-ISRAEL ❌
You’re on my approved list ✅
Awesome!! 🩷💕
I’m sad I didn’t make the cut, but last I checked, I was the only active user on my instance lol. Like a one-man sloop in an ocean of clippers.
Sure, I could shut it down and just register elsewhere, but I keep it around as my service to an open web free from fascist and corporate control.
The block list is cringe lol. It reads like something a snowflake libertarian or centrist would make to isolate themselves from reality so they can live out their lives in delusion. 🙉 🙈 🙊
Exactly, it is delusional to assume you need some smoking gun to assume intent. There are others here using that line of logic to assume no bad intent. The logic is quite clear in the screed that the tesseract admiral put out there to defend themselves.
It’s also not in the spirit of what Lemmy is. Admins of instances are the ones that should have a say in their rules and tools. If you want to add a “Toxic Mode,” make it something the admin is not automatically opted into. Also, it’s pretty cowardly to not state the why behind any of this when it was created, and no community discussion. All the Tesseract dev has done is alienate themselves from the entire Lemmy community, except for the weird isolationist ones that just magically happen to have views that often align with conservatives and fascists.
This is what I feel is the biggest issue, the deception.
The fact that there’s a blacklist is almost inconsequential to the fact that it’s not explicitly stated, that it’s default applied AND the error message when you run into it implies it’s not from a blacklist.
Lies by omission are still lies no matter how much Patrick is crying about it always being there. If you’re not upfront about it, for something as incendiary as a shadowban list, especially for a community like lemmy, you’re a piece of shit and deserve to be ostracized.
If he had made it all transparent, we’d still make fun of him but at least he would be honest about it and give people the choice to decide for themselves.
What's even the point of running a lemmy front end if you are going to block 99% of lemmy?
Ah, Lemmy and refusing to be exposed to opinions you disagree with. Classic.
Someone's existence is not to be debated. It's not an opinion to agree or disagree with. The frontend's creator needs to learn that lesson.
Where can I see if I’m on the list? I want to be on the list!
Edit: I’M ON IT! I would like to thank the academy…
How do you know that you are on the list?
Here it is, I don't see you on it.

Damn. I guess I'm a bigot.
Try using more of the banned words, like ACAB and Perchance.
Or try asking directly. The dev posted a ~~tantrum~~ explanation here: https://lemmy.today/post/57096701
Thank you for the link. And jfc what a nuclear meltdown. He sure sounds much more 'normal' than regular Lemmy users, which according to him nowadays consist of people not allowed anywhere else online. I'm sure he has the right temperament for attracting 'normies' and 'save the fediverse from itself' as he puts it, lol
No problem.
It's too bad because it's perfectly fine for instances, and I suppose apps, to cater their experience. Beehaw was open about their intentions from the beginning and as far as I know, no one gives them shit.
The lack of clear guidelines on who or what gets banned and the near obfuscation of what was being banned made this so much more than it had to be.
I wanna find out if I’m on the list!!! I mean I doubt it but maybe…
