Some kind of Lemmy frontend, while interesting gossip wholely doesn't affect me. Let the Lemmings continue infighting, that platform deserves to die off anyways.

It's an alternative front end for lemmy. Lots of instances that make alternative front ends available to their users offer it as an option

Its a clean looking UI but how do they ban you for using it? Are they monitoring your comments?

For me I like the Lemmy old UI, simple and compact.

They don’t ban you. The UI automatically hides certain instances, communities, users and posts. This is not officially documented and can’t be configured or turned off.

You can turn ‘toxic mode’ on and enable all the hidden posts, comments and users.

Ah now I understand, its filtering. I bet it doesn't warn you about that when you install it... *sigh

One more UI to ignore, thank you for the clarification.

There are some legitimate blocks in there to my understanding, the problem is they were/are mixed in with all the random "this hurts my feelings" blocks so it taints the whole thing

If there were opt in 'spammers' and 'trolls' lists it would be fine. The main problem is it being opt out and hidden, with it being a combination of those things plus 'people I don't like' being secondary.

The question is already answered, but if you are curious your instance sidebar says that the alternative front-ends that are available to you on it are: Photon, Alexandrite, Old (as in looks like old-Reddit), and Blorp. Tesseract is not one of them.

Luckyyyyyyy. I wish my mom would get me regex blocked, but she said we have block lists at home. I tried to tell her it’s not the same, but she just kept saying It’s all about who you know.

I do not understand why everyone is using the name of the codebase "tesseract" - which is in conflict with the absolutely wonderful concept of a tesseract - that is a four dimensional hyper cube. Why shame this beautiful word instead of shaming the name of the developer behind the fuckup? Save the word tesseract and shame the dev behind the frontend instead. Anybody care to explain their frivolity?

It has more than just list of users, it also has random regex for message contents.

As far as I‘ve understood, „toxic mode“ only turns off some of the filters, not all.

Also:

  • The dev‘s definition of toxic is far from my own
  • Filtering belongs in the backend, not the fronted and should be configured by the instance admin and the individual user. We already have that in the form of moderation tools and blocks. If we wanted arbitrary third parties to dictate what we can see, we could have stayed on reddit.

Heads up: sometime after Lemmy v1.0 when legacy API support is dropped Sync will stop working. It already has several serious bugs that have been unfixed for like two years.

I switched to Summit a long time ago and couldn't be happier.

Indeed. Tesseract is also the name of an open-source OCR library. When I first saw posts about Tesseract filtering things I was really confused.

Aww man. I've been using sync too.

I used reddit sync originally and the creator saying "fuck you" to reddit, and that they were going to make one for lemmy, is his I even found out about it.

It's like if people took that thanos snap thing that subreddit did really seriously. People seem to actually care about whether they were saved or snapped.

That's what it looks like from my chair.

some might be that way, I'd say the majority of people are upset that thanos snapped at all. who gave him the right to snap? not me, that's for sure.

So did I, but eventually I couldn't live with the unfixed bugs anymore. And continuing to accept (quite expensive) paid subscriptions while not working on the app anymore left a bad taste in me too.

Wait... It has a subscription model? I think I paid once, when it was reddit and the payment carried over.

But I agree, if theyre accepting sub money and it's abandoned.. That's real messed up

I thought it was yearly or lifetime as options? I can't remember exactly. The point still stands: payments were open despite the app being abandoned.
