wow, i expected you'd make the cut, but i guess you just weren't posting hard enough.

meanwhile @CARCOSA@hexbear.net is not only on the list but was honored with a personal regex and a comment line!

nice try implying that all the trans instances were banned btw

“All” the trans instances? Which ones come to mind for you other than blahaj?

Honestly surprised, considering how much reactionaries hate me. Still, shout out to @CARCOSA@hexbear.net !

When you're an extremist, everyone in the world looks like a radical.

Users who advocate violence are not moderated so long as the admins agree with the target

are they wrong though?

It seems to toggle on NSFW for any post in !share_anime_art@lemmy.dbzer0.com so if I edit a post with Tesseract, I have to manually turn it off or the post will be edited to be NSFW. This is some next-level type of petty. I've already had to go back and fix one post it's sabotoged.

Not wrong, but the target of violence being fascists is not a bad thing. The Dev is hiding that fact and pretending all violence is inherently equal. It's the same logic Zionists use to demonize Palestinian resistance groups.

Yeah, actually, this is a huge problem I have with the larger Fediverse. Not just one instance.

The dev still approached it the wrong way though. It’s no excuse.

every so often you get to hear an opinion that's offensive not because of any bigotry, but just because it's assnine.

We're not pacifists, no

I want my Fediverse like Reddit, where you get banned for saying Hitler should have been killed but white supremacism is allowed.

Hitler is dead. Of course Reddit sucks.

But I don't think we should explicitly advocate for the death of living people.

EDIT: My point; exactly.

I want criminals put on trial, I want them mobbed and disgraced and utterly humiliated.

I don’t want them killed.

And thats controversial on Lemmy? Literally everyone in this thread disagrees?

This is exactly what I’m talking about. If no one here sees that as extremist, I don’t know what to tell you.

The quoted criticism sounds reasonable and objective to you?

It's spelled "asinine" but I do like "assnine" lol

I ordered things alphabetically before AI because it made it easier for other people to read the list. It's a built-in command in a lot of languages too.

Yeah I'm not denying anything, I like watching pearl-clutching shitlibs squirm 😆

whoops. I've been spelling it wrong my entire life then. oh well! 😅🤣

Cops, landlords, and (x)illionaires have withheld their humanity to "make a living" and so the same sentiment should be expressed towards them.

Call me crazy but I don't think that maga.place is a lefty instance

But yet cumallover.me (owned by the chud at cock.li) is allowed

Why assume good faith with this guy when everything else he does is bad faith? But sure, i agree it's not proof of anything. Just a possibility.

Fair enough, I'm just pissed at the guy I guess.

So brave very adult.

I agree. People who do this are emotionally compromised and in my opinion can't be trusted when writing code. There was a different developer who through similar political convictions made his software wipe PCs that were in Russia or Belarus. Maybe that seems more extreme but it comes from the same politically charged and emotionally compromised place.

I agree, I'm just saying that it sounds like what they're talking about is something that's already natively built into Lemmy and doesn't need to be built into a front-end. Especially since I believe some of these are already defederated by default and you would need an account on an instance that has gone out of their way to federate with those in order to see/interact with them in the first place.

My point was that what they're calling for here already exists natively within the federation framework and this hidden filter that the dev made doesn't even need to exist as a front-end system that mods/admins can use as a result. And that some of the more egregious instances on this list are already on the defederation list by default and that admins are free to add or remove instances from that list as they please.

In short, that this hidden filter is not only unnecessary but that it also only exists to secretly censor what users on an instance can see on top of what instances are already defederated by the admins and would have no purpose as a publicly available system.

NOOOO!!

That's clearly just the Mutual Aid of Greater Atlanta's lemmy page! 🤣

The other thing is that the developer of Tesseract doesn't have the authority to block servers they don't like on other people's instances. It is a major overstep from him to do this, and a severe breach of trust. You really have to hold yourself or be held to a high standard when writing code that runs on other people's computers.

Putting in a backdoor so you can get in is really bad. Putting in your own hardcoded ideological filters isn't as bad, but it's almost as bad.

Where is there any political group or faction today that doesn't advocate for and celebrate violence? I honestly don't see any. It's just a question of against who and what justification is used.

And the people in charge? They are slowly killing us, the whole world. But oh do not advocate for violence while we fund and support these wars.

Why the fuck are trans-friendly instances blocked too?? They just make wholesome memes and once in a while come over to comment ":3"

Where is there any political group or faction today that doesn’t advocate for and celebrate violence?

Yeah... That is not how the vast majority of the population thinks. Even if it seems that way online.

I can't believe I'm debating "well every political faction advocates for murder, explicitly, so why shouldn't we?" I don't even know where to begin, there.

Do a tally how many leftist and how many right wing instances are in that list.

yeah it's all scary boogeyman instances

Do you not think a vote for Trump is not just advocating for violence, but a real action supporting violence? What about the liberals who support Israel's genocide? Is that not advocating for violence? Those who deny climate change? Antivaxxers who refuse to mask up or obstruct medical policy? Those who who celebrate the Ukrainian strikes into Russia and deny diplomatic solutions?

If it helps, I do agree with you, that alone is no justification. The only justification for murder is to save an innocent life. For example if violence was the only practically viable solution to topple a murderous regime, and would actually be able to succeed. If there are other non violent ways, you have to take those. But they made sure there are none.

When the state protects genociders, there is nothing wrong with using violence against them. I would love for every member of the state of Israel to stand trial and be punished legally and appropriately, but there is no state right now that has the power or inclination to do that, so in the meantime I will not condemn Palestinians for using violence to protect themselves and to make it so that Israelis cannot continue to perpetrate genocide.

I would love it if health insurance CEOs were made to stand trial for denying coverage to dying people, but there is no court in America that will hear that case, so in the meantime I will not condemn the Luigis of this world for taking justice into their own hands.

Give me a state that actually delivers justice for everyday people instead of the rich, and I will advocate for non-violence.

I don't really know who Jordan Lund is or what he's about, my first thought was Jordan Peterson who I think is a pretty unhinged UofT professor, someone cut together this rant about "rat desire" from that guy, it's quite funny with or without context. I just looked up if that was the same Jordan, and the only rat related Lund is a Zoe Lund, https://www.zoelund.com/lund/rats/rats.html

Anyway I keep seeing their names pop up and I have no real context for what they are about, and looking at Google results it's just some whitewashed stuff about J Lund doing Shakespeare.

So what is up with that guy?

Don't attribute wholesale to malice what can be perfectly explained by either stupidity or self-interest. Besides, I don't think that the average American is concerned overmuch with US external affairs - unless it affects the price of gas.

they’re agreeing with the fascist that leftist instances should be censored, because “tankies”

No, they're critiquing tankies specifically. Tankies do not represent all leftists

"I'm not transphobic, trans people are just scary and weird okay" -The Tesseract devs, apparently

Haha, Hanlon's razor, very true. But I'm more of a utilitarian concerned with the consequences the older I get. I don't blame people for being lied to or brainwashed or being stupid, but the result is still support for violence.

I blocked a lot of them because I'm not a fan of seeing the same shit page after page. For instance the flood of selfies recently.

But deciding what a user does and doesn't want on their feed should be the user's decision, not some sneaky hidden bullshit pulled by the world's lamest dev.

assnine

Added to Dictionary.

Think of your stereotypical power-tripping Reddit mod, in both behaviour and appearance. That's Jordan. He is a moderator of several lemmy.world communities and never faces any consequences for being a PTB since he has the backing of LW's admin team.

My best guess is that one of the dev’s alts got put in the corner for transphobia, and they were butthurt about it.

... go search through the power tripping bastards comm.

I’m not well-versed in how email domains work, so I may be missing something here. Why block just @proton.me? Seems like if they were blocking all the free tier addresses then they’d block @protonmail.com, too?

Ah I thought he was a normie not a fediverse person

Literally this guy? I know his face

Everything is coming together thank you
