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.
I couldn’t find the list until someone shared it

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
Hey, a copyparty server in the wild! Neat!
Oh hey, my lemmy.zip account made the blocklist. Mum, look, mum, I’m quasi famous! :D
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
