    I’m on the list, does this guy just like, have a little black book of people he hates? Like has this guy been reading all my posts or something? Or did he use a LLM to make it

      AFAIK it’s just him reading others’ comments and when he sees ones he dislikes, he says, “>:•( Well, you’re a poopyface, onto the Poopyface List with you!”

    I honestly don’t know how I made it on the list. I mostly just lurk and occasionally post memes about my cats. I’ll take it though, it’s a badge of honour.

    Also yuri.

    They specifically blocked Wholsome Yuri.

    And violet08.

    Because I guess sexcapades are a bannable offense?

    Yeah those are two oddballs that I’ve noticed so far.

          Lemmy.world’s mod/admin team has a very well documented history of being heavily biased in the direction of genocidal Zionists, blatant double standards when it comes to things like ICE (illegal state sponsored terrorism) vs non state sponsored terrorism.

          And they’re just needlessly petty.

          Literally Stamets used to be part of that team, discovered the extent of that bullshit personally… an LW mod had a hissy fit over Canadian terminology and government procedure… and decided to start ban hammering people over it.

          Stamets is Canadian, the other mod is not… and Stam tried to explain to that mod that they were mistaken, confused.

          They instead doubled down, it blew up into a similar popcorn level event… Stamets left LW, and now he is on this stealth block list.

          The LW team have no problem being duplicitous and covert in enforcement over their little fiefdoms, and the defense of their own egos.

          Again, I implore you to leave.

          Also, no, the actual people that run LW? They’re liberals, neoliberals. Liberalism is not leftism. Go do some first year Poli Sci reading if you need an explanation, I’m tired.

            I think OP understands there is space to the left of US democrats, and the discourse tends to be “Kinda left” by commonly understood definition.

            Also some of us enjoy a lot of non-political content, and World is fine for that.

              I don’t. I don’t think they know that.

              I don’t think you do either.

              Leftism can be cleanly seperated from Liberalism in this way:

              Leftists want to abolish capitalism, change it so much that it’s not capitalism any more.

              Liberals think capitalism is… a good person, but just, misunderstood.

              Also, if I just told you that the LW admin/mod team is… consistently defending genociders, and state sponsored terrorism?

              And you say… well I am apolitical, so that’s fine?

              You are not apolitical, you are in fact explcitly fine with those horrible things, you are saying they don’t bother you that much.

              … there are plenty of non political communities and discussion on… all of the banned instances, many others too.

              But no, no, you’re fine with the genocide supporting one.

              Ok then.

                not all leftists oppose capitalism tho

                many further left ones (such as myself) do, but some milder leftists dont (many socialists and center-leftists)

                  The person you’re talking to operates on a different definition of leftists that explicitly requires them to be anticapitalist. Given how common that phenomenon is, and how we can’t ever seem to agree on any other points, I propose a new definition of Leftist:

                  A leftist is someone who argues about what is and isn’t leftist.

                  The implication of that definition, of course, is that the right wing talking heads calling every form of human decency “communism” are also leftists.

                  (Actually, do dbzer0 users even see this comment? They defederated us because our admins also failed their purity test. No animosity from my side, for whatever that’s worth.)

          Let me start by saying this is is just an observation, not directed specifically at you.

          But, this is the issue with left vs right politics. It’s not that you’re not “left enough” it’s that you’re practically on different planets arguing which way is West. Both of you orient towards north, and then walk to the left, but you’re never going to meet up. And that’s because you’re not even on the same planet. Your foundations for what basic human rights are is fundamentally different.

          A capitalist will say “everyone deserves the house they can afford”, while a communist will say “everyone deserves a house.”

          .world from my observation has been very capitalist, and yeah, that tracks considering it’s kinda like the “reddit instance” its comfortable for a lot of people. But I personally would never join as a member, for as many issues as .ml and dbzer0 have, I prefer to broaden my viewpoints than to keep seeing the same capitalist viewpoints repeated over and over again.

            Wasn’t Piefed adding code to block people from upvoting and downvoting too much? If they’re on Lemmy a lot they might not appreciate that kind of restriction, especially if they post a lot of content.

              I haven’t seen anything of the sort, personally. A while back the larger Piefed instance was “shadowbanning” instances they don’t promote, but instance owners are free to do as they wish.

              There is an “upvote quota” but I’ve personally never hit it so I don’t know what happens when you do, I kind of doubt a regular human could unless they made it their full time job.

              Here is a LINK to a long list of citations of extremism, imperialism, and promotion of war, genocide, and violence by the head Lemmy developers and owners of Lemmy ML. People who host Lemmy have the moral responsibility to vet every update and remove all links to donate to Lemmy development or they’re complicit in these crimes.

              Until something irredeemably bad comes out about the Piefed devs, they’re infinitely better.

      Some asshat I’ve never heard of created a api with a bunch of hidden blacklists of instances and users. I wasn’t in it and I’m kinda disappointed like many on lemmy. Seems like being on this dipshits shit lists is a nice place to be.

          In a place where most users showed from reddit, because we were sick of censorship no less.

          This is egregious. A total breach of trust for new users.

          An instance ban or mod action is one thing but hitting the API is just evil.

        Hidden is a strong word; it’s a file named as such, in plain text, with a GUI button to disable it, and has a bunch of humor throughout. I’m not really sure what the big deal about it is honestly, I think it’s hilarious and harmless

        Edit: apparently I’m totally wrong and the version I saw was a decade fork, maybe? Not entirely sure but I’m sorry for spreading misinformation

          not in plain text, it was base64+gzip encoded at the source url to thwart discovery

          very not harmless, hidden political censorship is not harmless

          and the dev is forcing it on server admins “users can disable the blocklist (if admins allow it), but there will be no server config option to have “toxic mode” (no blocklist mode) on by default”
