cross-posted from: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/45758177

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.

        He seems in complete denial about the lack of transparency

        That’s a bit cryptic, but I wasn’t really hiding that Tesseract had decided to do things differently from here on out.

        while at the same time admitting doing stuff that will obviously have the effect of avoiding eyes on the full extent of it

        A: No. The filtering is disarmed completely for admins and for mods in their communities.

        There’s even a “you meddling kids” trope line in there

        And might I add that not one person complained until db0 went internet Karen with his hissy fit

        All in all a very entertaining read

    When you say “leftists” do you mean “progressives and anarchists” or do you mean “Tankies”?

    Frankly, DB0 has very low credibility in my books, they’ve been caught both-sidesing and enabling both white supremacists and tankies operations on the fediverse.

    EDIT: I took a moment to check out the post, I do disagree with secretly hardcoding a ban or censor rather than leaving it configurable.

    EDIT 2: Did I make the list?

      I’m on the list, and I’m about as far as you can get from a tankie while still being left.

        Yeah, weird that the dude shadowbans all the tankies while banning the word tankie. Additionally the list of regex terms is ridiculous. You find words like “yuri”, “perchance” and “GirlsFrontline” in it. If this goes on, Admiral Patrick will ban words of basic grammar like “it”.

        Also dude is ridiculous, on his account https://feddit.org/u/ptz@dubvee.org he replaced all of his pics with the same pic.

      When you say “tankies” you mean “anyone who has a problem with genocide.”

      Every time.

          We’re not selling weapons to russia or china. We’re not running interference for them at the UN, and we’re not merging our military with theirs.

          Your whataboutism in support of a continuing genocide is why you’re not on the list.

              Tankies are neither communists nor anti-fascist no matter how often you say it. All I have to say, tankies will never achieve communism by centralizing power into the hands of a few party elites. That is virtually just an oligarchy with extra steps. Also you all seem to forget that Stalin first was against Hitler after Hitler betrayed him, but before that he was totally willing to cooperate with him (Ribbentrop-Molotov). Additionally, most “real existing socialist states” were/are just fascism painted with red aesthetics and calling themselves socialist. Also, tankies seem to attack socialists more than they actually attack the right and here on Lemmy, a lot of them feel like a psyop in favor of the far-right, because they only attack the left and the center. Like if you are as anti-fascist as you claim, then actually do something instead of constantly attacking the people who are against the far-right.

              Like holy crap.

            You know who did run interference for Genocide? China and Russia vetoing the Palestine ceasefire resolution in the UN back in March of 2024.

            You know who actively promoted Genocide? China and Russia funneling weapons and funds through Iran to Hamas leading up to the music festival attack.

            You lot would still be claiming the other side is the cause of everything if evidence surfaced of Putin or Xi meeting with Netanyahu directly, signing an agreement, and shaking each others dicks over the matter.

    You were one of the few I remembered to check, seeing you not on the list was a surprise! I’m curious if they literally just blocked people on some kind of key word they said and you just happen to use alternative phases. Lol

    Edit note: it’s not that I’m stalking users, I happen to search satan, cum and fart all the time. Just ask my search algorithm!

    Damn, that’s too bad. Even mine made the list, and I’m relatively new!

    In the future, you should try calling for violence against billionaires more. Then you can probably make the list.

        I’m not surprised that you’re not on the list, no. You adhere perfectly to genocide wing orthodoxy.

            Hating trump and wanting to see something better

            You’re fine with trump as long as no one gets to vote against genocide.

              Don’t try to tell me how I feel about things when you don’t know me.

                I’m against all genocides

                Unless biden is selling weapons for them. Unless harris is committing to continue selling weapons for them. Unless the US is running interference for them at the UN. Then anyone who says they’re wrong to do that is a tankie. Or a russian or chinese or a republican or maga or whatever thought-terminating cliche it is you employ when someone has a problem with US involvement in genocide.

                Centrists won as soon as there was no anti-genocide candidate on the ballot from either major party.

                  Tankies have no problem with genocides as long as China or Russia are committing them.

                  They definitely aren’t an anti-genocide political bloc or anything close to that so what are you getting at here?
