Edit: For context, @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com discovered that the developer of Tesseract had discretely banned numerous instances and disguised it as a server error. This included more heavily leftist instances, but also blahaj.zone. More recently, it was discovered that they had also been suppressing individual users, phrases, and communities that criticize power tripping on fedi.
Needless to say, I implore non blahaj.zone users to drop the Tesseract client (support for the client has already been dropped for blahaj). So called “liberals” like this who call out “extremism on both sides” are an insult to the values they claim to be upholding.
The blocklist is so wild. It really appears to be someone who has put a lot of work into removing any exposure to anyone who cares about literally anything. What a sad little piece of shit.
I couldn’t find the list until someone shared it
https://copyparty.adrian.place/u/?doc=policy.json
Holy crap. That list is huge. Is there anyone left to interact with? It’s not like there’s THAT many of us.
What do you mean ? There are dozens of us that are not on the list.
I dunno what “userRegexes” is, but I’m there. I’m hoping it means I’m banned!
It means that your account and any other accounts Tesseract finds with the same name as yours (the “samus12345” part) are banned.
Wait, so if I create a Lemmy account as @samus12345@foobar.com, that would automatically be blocked as being assumed to be an alt of @samus12345@sh.itjust.works?
Exactly, regex is basically the same as pattern matching in programming.
Damn, none of my accounts are on the list. Even the ones banned from .ml
Oh hey, my lemmy.zip account made the blocklist. Mum, look, mum, I’m quasi famous! :D
Hey, a copyparty server in the wild! Neat!
Thanks! I couldn’t find the list either. I’m there.
For the nerds, another post (the one OP links to) stated that you can check the list by yourselves from the source by running the following command in the terminal:
curl -s https://tesseract.dubvee.org/tesseract/api/system/policy policy \ | base64 -d | gunzip > policy.json(Reminder to NOT RUN any commands on your terminal you don’t understand)
Hehe I’n on the McCarthyist list
Not surprising considering their instance banned activism
How dare people have opinions!!
Wait, is that an opinion? Fuck. Time to ban myself.
