Ayo, my lemmy.zip account made it in. Guess I wasn't trying hard enough on this one. :D

I really did! :D

So you should add me to your blocklist on your, what now seems to be closed source, UI @admiralpatrick@lemmy.world otherwise the "normies" might be exposed to my toxicity and violence. Chop chop, get to it!

Oh, but maybe tell the users that you have built in such a feature and let them decide on their own, it is generally considered toxic and dipshittery of the highest order to hide such things even from the admins and try to obfuscate it in the commits.

Hm, maybe I'll use my fork of tesseract to add a shiny badge next to those names instead

piefed has hardcoded blocks for instances the dev doesn't like

truly impressive how some people are always the victim even on open platforms they literally can own for free

Or they just love using the pipe operator cause it makes them feel like a real programmer. I honestly am so used to piping to grep I forget you can pass it file paths.

Which are only blocked if the admin specifically asks for them to be.

In other words not hard-coded at all.

PieFed is quite opinionated, and the instance picker even more so, but the "hard-coded" arguments have long since been debunked (though last I checked, without being acknowledged by those who initially spread the story).

Also the flagship instance PieFed.social does block a lot, but that's as different as an instance is from software. Btw Lemmy.ml rather famously blocks a lot of content as well.

Whatever software you use, pick good instance admins that you feel reflect your values (or even self-host your own), and you'll enjoy your experience on the Threadiverse much better than being at odds with them.

Next up I think is jeans (again), or are we all the way back to not pooping?

I follow along a lot in the chats and run the software. They did move everything to configuration a long time ago.

Like apparently it's not "leftist" per se (or trans or furry etc.) so much as extremist rhetoric, or even instances turning a blind eye towards same, for the sake of mainstream normies coming here from Reddit.

It would be like blocking pretentious people, then vegetarians decrying unfair/biased treatment.

Note that many leftists are not blocked, like I strongly doubt that slrpnk.net would be, it's primarily the more "militant" varieties.

Shall wear it with pride.

Well yeah, people are changing frontends and warned others that Tesseract has that kind of blocklist and they don't support it. If people that used the tool didn't find out until now, it's mostly a communication issue from the dev. And to the user that knows none the wiser, opinions that they would've accessed if not for using Tesseract are essentialy not available. The option to turn it off is essentially hidden, and the user can't find out that information is being blocked (as seen by the reaction it caused in the threadiverse). It's censorship by omission of information. Even if they had good intentions, the way they went about it failed to communicate what the blocklist was about, and that information was being blocked in the first place.

It's also just kind of a silly thing to implement in a client. That's the perspective the memes are coming from. Usually, blocklists should be left to the instance administrators or users. The client should only easily allow such a list to be available.

I'm sorry you were blocked but this behavior isn't likely to change that

I don't really know if I was blocked nor do I really care. I'm just explaning why people were upset/making memes about it. It's shocking once one finds out about the blocklist, but kind of funny in retrospect.

it does not shock me at all that someone would make an effort to fix lemmys biggest problem

It is quite naive to think that nobody has thought of a sollution like that though. It was probably not implemented like that for a reason.

Yeah, if only someone could make a hidden block list so people like you can't interact with anyone. :(

uhhhh you're literally allowed to do that lmao

Yo, me too. But not MonkderDritte, so it's relatively recent.

They're the first virus on Lemmy

I think we all appreciate @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com effort to address administrative and developer abuse, lemmy's biggest problem.

lol

Looks like someone isnt a big fan of leftist articles, lol

But it was probably because of the feddit-dbzero drama post lmao

Medal for only certified TRUE posters

"annoyinf" = undesirables

Dude is a grade A pussy. He can have his opinions and make his decisions but to close his eyes and cover his ears and go "lalala" is hilarious.

I'd be wearing that with pride

Just call for guillotine usage. Worked for me.
