Well, good for reducing its presence. Not so much for forensics, unless someone grabbed a copy before deletion.

db0's fork was from another fork, which is almost three years old at this point. Scratch that, github just reassigns the fork parent if the source repo gets deleted.

Nope, db0 fork is based on the latest release, it just got relocated because of how GitHub works. (If you delete the repo, fork's parents get assigned to another fork.)

That took longer than I care to admit to properly parse. Kept conflating the fork parent as the code base, and wondering why it was so confusing.

Probably time for my morning coffee.

Haii, sorry, I’m still learning how to use computers

I’ve been loosely following the drama but I don’t really know what tesseract is or how it relates to lemmy as a whole. I think I saw that blahaj zone was using an older version, but they got included in the new shadowban list and are looking to move away. But what actually is it? Or what was it lol

Can I still check if I made the list?

Basically, it's a frontend/dashboard/UI that you can use instead of the default interface. Think of it as KDE for Linux, its the thing that shows you buttons and menus you can use to interact with Lemmy. It's a thing that people hosting an instance use mostly.

And if you're thinking "my interface system shouldn't decide my blocklist!" then yes, exactly.

Oh gotcha, wow, yeah I guess that would be fueling my confusion. Insane that a user interface itself would add a blocklist lmao. Like trying to make a steering wheel that won’t let you drive to bike shops because you think cyclists are too left leaning. Just a totally nonsensical concept

Here is a copyparty of the list. Sorry, I did not see you on it. 🥺

Also, to make it worse, it's open source software, but the blocklist isn't in the software. When you start up the software, it downloads a specific file (not in the open code) that has the block list.

There are a few open blocklists too though, like normal. You can turn those on or off at will. But not this secret one.

So yeah, it's 100% malicious.

How does it decide which fork becomes the parent?

Thank you!

haven't used computers much

It's like KDE desktop on Linux

Can't tell if serious or sockpuppet

That's uhhh... Yeah, maybe not the best example.

Look, I'm on Lemmy, my brain just automatically assumes everyone here is a huge nerd like me.

I understood, but I cant speak to the asker's tech level. But then, even as a hobbyists i use Linux and have ancient Fedora training.

Maybe easier to say its an interface for accessing lemmy and comparing it to your web browser though. Like saying Firefox or Edge shouldn't be able to filter what users and videos you can see on YouTube.

Still close enough to get the picture.

Waiting to read when blacklist.ts will be removed.

That's 95% genuine anti-spam, and it looks like db0 has already cleaned up the offending entries

…♪

there aren't any catgirls on the list

It’s back as of yesterday afternoon. He must have set it to private for a day or so. https://github.com/asimons04/tesseract

Can someone confirm If I was on the shadowban despite being mostly inactive on Lemmy?

https://copyparty.adrian.place/u/?doc=policy.json

I don’t see you in the users list

Interesting, I think should be more active lol

I can block you if it will help you feel more accomplished?

I really can't see anything on the new blacklist that isn't actual garbage. Unless you're a Russian bot, or a MAGA moron.

hexbear test domain is still blocked, fandom.com, socialskateclub.com,

    'britishtalks.com',  
    'euronewstop.co.uk',  
    'Newstop.africa',  
    'Britishattitudes.com',

```const OTHER_RUSSIAN_CAMPAIGNS = [  
    'seattle-tribune.com',  
    'southfront.org',  
    'spiegel.bz',  
]```  
everything in `const JOHN_MARK_DOUGAN = [`  
counterintelligence for ```const MAGA_PROPAGANDA = [

```// Disallow link shorteners

`export const TWITTER = [`  
`export const BLUESKY = [`  
```"chapo.chat",

"lemy.lol",?```  

And the fact it's again, **a client side filter, unexposed instead of being **A FRONTEND OPTION** upon setting up your account.** I may not agree with the actual legit spam domains, **but this list should be frontend exposed,** dangerous ones server side exposed (“These blocklist server side, they cannot be reversed, sorry”)

You’ve never done counterintelligence‽
