Where is this list, am I on it?

Congratulations you are on the list.

I'm very happy to be on it

Seems I've got some work to do

I agree with rationale of what Tesseract is doing but I’m also disappointed I’m not on the list.

I'm too left wing I guess

I feel like the list is just made of anyone who posts too much.

Damn, that's an impressive list. I'd import like at least a half of it xD

You agree with it? What part?

I'm not so sure the list is such a big badge of honor. Both this account and my old defunct one are on that list and I block and avoid politics like the plague on here. lol Sure, it's impossible, and I've definitely had a political rant or two, but even geometrydash3d.com is on the list...

This is truly a weird censor list.

Pretty much. He says it's extremists but some of the bannable phrases are just emojis or common internet slang

I’m just pro censorship in general. Of everything. Even me.

Grammarians having a totalitarian mindset is no concern of mine. ╮(︶▽︶)╭

I agree that if you run a thing then you get to decide things about it. I agree that calls for for violence should be filtered from normies at all cost (I’m very pro guillotine but I think it’s best to have everyone get there on their own pace). I agree that homophobia/transphobia has no place in a civilised space. So, mostly everything that was stated there.

I don’t use Tesseract but I did try it out back in the day and I remember that there was a button labeled „toxicity” in settings. I’m surprised by what it does from a technical perspective because I’d expect it to do filtering based on keywords. But user filters definitely work too, it’s just that you have to keep your ear to the ground which is a lot of effort. I modded a national subreddit back in the day and for certain type of users doing a pseudo-shadowban was the only way to do it.

I can’t vouch for every person on the list being there for a valid reason. I scrolled it but didn’t recognise anyone. I stay out of crowded spaces though.

I don’t think I’m active enough to have made it on the list. But fuck that dev.

I'm not noteworthy enough to make a list. :(

Perchance.

Sweet.

You are not going to get a town square full of normies enjoying guillotines by making them exclusive.

🥺👉👈

I can't exactly deny it.

To block or to follow?

You're safe, 👈🥺👉 isn't on the list yet. For now.

if you run a thing then you get to decide things about it.

That would be fine, IF he had been upfront about it. Instead of going the malware route

Some to block, some to follow. That's the irony of that list, there's everything there :)

nah, some of the huge posters didn't make it onto the list. PugJesus, LadyButterfly aren't on there.

what about

✋😳🤚

A B S O L U T E E M O J I

I've made three or four posts in total, and I'm on the list.

Basically doing anything to wind up the MLs seems to do it.

I want to know what Violet did to make that list.

Also, this platform would be a very boring place with that block list in place.

How do I check?

No, I am absolutely cool😎.
All you need to add is foreign letters to get xenoglossophobics to block you.

Just beware you’lrbe downrankd to hell, just cause.

This is the list.

I am free! I shall spread the word where I please!

Being upfront about some bans is detrimental to the effort because of ban evaders, which is most of this list supposedly. The toggle was still there there and the list was public.

You're noteworth enough to me Rawry :3

yeah well then how come i'm not on it

methinks the dev doth protest like a whiny otaku basement dweller 🥺👉👈

Pretty sure I'm both according to some.

So i'm porridge?

Aww! <3

The list was not public, what are you going on about? He was also not 'running' anything for most users, any more than Linus is 'running' my pc just because I'm using Linux.

2+ years and 10k comments. I guess I’m not offensive enough?

The list was not public, what are you going on about?

Tesseract is open source, no?

He was also not 'running' anything for most users, any more than Linus is 'running' my pc just because I'm using Linux.

He is running an opinionated client to the underlying ActivityPub network. He states that in user agreement and docs for admins that want to host it on their own.

Do I agree with a design philosophy intended to decrease polarisation? Heck yeah. The amount of downvotes I’ve got shows what kind of people this thing attracts. Reeks of reddit.

Are you at all aware of the actual details of this incident?

Tesseract is open source, no?

It was an intentionally obfuscated line of code that pulled a file direct from his server. A file that was intentionally not in the repo so they nobody would know about it. In IT, we call that malware.

How else could such list work? New Tesseract release for every update to the filter? It wasn’t encrypted.

To begin with: Apps using such lists make it very clear upfront what they are doing. NOBODY OBFUSCATES THE VERY EXISTENCE OF THE LIST.

The list can also easily be a part of the repo that's pulled at runtime. Or viewable and modifiable from within the app itself.

It wasn’t encrypted.

It's a client side app, by definition there's no easy way to encrypt it. Dude certainly gave it a shot by base-64 encoding it. There was no technical reason to encode a text file.

It was disclosed through user agreement and docs for admins hosting Tesseract. List wasn’t encrypted. We’re going in circles now.

People are allowed to have political opinions and they’re allowed to express them through software. Don’t like it? Don’t use it.
