I’m jealous of all y’all
Everyone not on the list should be ashamed of themselves.
:(((((
What’s this?
I’m guessing the Tesseract list. Although, I haven’t actually found anyone posting a link to it. I’ve seen a few people ask for the link, but folks only respond with sarcasm.
It’s not that list, that’s the normal Blacklist, it’s the secret blacklist that tesseract downloads without the admin knowing that has the “special” ban list
Ah, i didn’t realize the list i linked only had the blocked instances
Yea, that’s not why people are making a fuss, it’s the super secret downloaded blacklist
Wonder what I said to get a full URL wildcard ban
What is the list supposed to be for?
Try three things to find out for yourself, and post the results here. If you still haven’t figured it out then, I’ll answer you.
So sassy. You just made the list bro it’s all over for you now
Sorry. I just bristle at potential sea lioning.
If you’re part of it, I don’t think I even want to know.
I was only messing around, no need to apologise!
Potential sea lioning? That would be literally any question. And it was only the second question. And the topic is not whatsoever the type of controversial thing people would usually approach in that way.
Honestly, I bristle at the overuse of the term sea lioning. It makes the internet a much worse place if we go around assuming people are only trying to find out stuff they don’t know from other humans as a malicious method to waste our time. That comic did more harm than good, imo
This is the blacklist https://copyparty.adrian.place/u/?doc=policy.json
That guy tried to block ChadMcTruth. He’s a national treasure
Im so lost and confused. What is this list and why am i on it?
I’m disappointed I’m not lefty enough for the club 😭
Me too. :(
Oh, so he thinks most of us are violent nutjobs. Well if thinking billionaires and child molesters should be exterminated is wrong I don’t want to be right.
Nice I’m on it
Will they unblock wholesomeyuri and blahaj
🥺👉👈Apparently I’m not blocky enough for the blocklist.
Cool I’m on a list I didn’t know about either, but I’m not surprised.
I’m not on the list :(
Woo, fuck yeah, made the list!
You know how people used voyager/boost/etc to access reddit? Well the web app is a similar idea (adds features, filter options, etc for customizing your Lemmy experience) except imagine the dev decided to add a secret filter list to the app where they added keywords, users, and subreddits that they didn’t like so you simply wouldn’t see them.
A fair number of instances had implemented the web app (called Tesseract, search Lemmy for that term if you want more details).
The reason it’s good to be on the list is because the list includes a bunch of popular lefty communities including some entire instances like Blahaj. Being listed individually just means you made the dev butthurt at some point so they decided people using their front end shouldn’t get to see your posts.
One detail I’m still not fully clear on is how widespread the effects are. Say an instance uses the tesseract frontend. Does that mean that everyone who accesses lemmy via that instance was having all of this filtering applied? Does it only apply if they were accessing it via the web? If they logged into the same instance via a smartphone app, would it still be applying all of the hidden tesseract filters?
It’s just a web client, logging in from other spaces wouldn’t be impacted. It would be at its own URL like Tesseract.Lemmy.World for Lemmy.world (made up example). It’s implemented at the instance level by instance admins. A lot of instances implement multiple options for their userbase so only users using that option would be impacted.
Finally I can check for myself!
…YES I’M ON THE LIST
I don’t even publically say that much ““radical left”” stuff on here
Nice, welcome to the cool club!
I don’t even know what I did lol.
You’d have to ask the dev.
Seems to block a lot of folks, many of them reasonable. To be fair, it also blocks spammers. But it’s deceptive in its implementation, and opaque in its application, and therefore is a bad thing.
Don’t stress it!
Congrats! I’m surprised that I’m not on it. 😂
I’m with you
Got into the top 200 at least.
Congrats! My alt is on their.
OOTL what is all this
Tesseract seems to be some kind of platform for Lemmy; I’m not sure if it’s an Android app or just a web app. The dev has enacted a shadowban list to try to reduce calls for violence, homophobia, xenophobia, etc. I don’t seem to be on the most, and I had either way never heard of Tesseract before. I personally use Blorp to surf Lemmy.
Ugh! LUCKY!
Check me I don’t use fancy teseract thing
lol, apparently, so am I
I’m disappointed I’m not on the list.
i’m not on it, what does it mean
You just haven’t pissed of the dev who wrote tesseract. Honestly I’m surprised there aren’t more people on it. Dude seems like they wanted their own sandbox.
makes sense, i don’t comment often
It means you’re my kind of people.
I love how Lemmy’s biggest scandal to-date involves an open-source app for Lemmy.
Can’t get that on reddit.
Because they pulled the rug out from developers…sure…but that’s besides the point.
(Sent with Boost, Lemmy client for Android)
Oh yeah honestly the rapidity with which this took hold and almost everybody agreed FUCK THAT GUY and started working towards a collective fix actually gives me a lot of faith in fedi. I’m kinda hoping this does open up more conversation about open and customizable sorting and filtering algorithms. I feel like there’s space in fedi for more complex and personalized algorithms like you see on mainstream social media but in a way that’s easy for the end user to pop open, examine, and tweak to their needs, and easy to apply templates that are clear about their intentions and publicly auditable.
Is this the biggest scandal? The lemmygrad.ml, the lemmy.ml related ones seemed way bigger
RIP Apollo
Long live Voyager!
Aye!!!
