Context: Admiral Patrick replied and included this gem:
And might I add that not one person complained until db0 went internet Karen with his hissy fit because I took his toy away from him.
“Not one person complained about my explicitly obfuscated blacklists! Damn internet Karens making a big deal!”
/> doesn’t tolerate transphobia and hate
/> proceeds to ban the entire blahaj instance
Wat
Tells me they’re only cool with the trans folks who shut the fuck up and don’t make him feel any cognitive dissonance over his political fee-fees. Poor wittle baby.
Instances should detect when tesseract is the client and return nothing but a fake post explaining why it sucks.
He’s now calling you and all the other communities and instances unstable like matches…
My guy is straight up delusional. He really ought to touch grass and come back next year when most people will have forgotten him
smart people would just shut the fuck up and walk away.
I’m glad he’s dumb as a box of shit.
Imagine being so ultra-butthurt that people found out (and are upset) you were trying to manipulate them.
Why is Admiral Patrick complaining? Just put all the complainers on the list. Problem solved /s
He probably will. He’s still updating the list. Not like it matters much since most instances are likely going to delete Tesseract or use db0’s fork once they get wind of this.
That’s the joke :)
But I get the feeling that he wants to be right more than anything
What a freaking loser.
He would have got away with it too if it wasn’t for those meddling Karens
"I’ve got four years good conduct I have - "
“No, that was four years Not Found Out”, said Vimes. “Clear off.”
This has been hands-down some of the best drama I’ve seen on the Fediverse. I assume there’s some sick part of my brain that just loves it when someone doubles down on a bad decision.
That post max crash out. Homie included a way to turn it off like a company hiding the cancel subscription options and expected everyone to love it. Like bro if you want to filter everything out thats what your block list is for. Also, he plainly did not mention why it was obfuscated to such a degree and acted like it showed you everything.
And he called it the toxic filter. Like, dudes higher on his own farts than I am on mine. That is hard
I finally found myself but I honestly feel like this is a list of frequent users more than anything.
It does raise the question of what’s left once you’re done scouring out all the shit you don’t like.
I occasionally visit in incognito to see what I’m missing. And I’ll admit… mostly bad memes and reactionary hot takes. But I’m blocking maybe a dozen channels and twenty odd users. This block list goes into the 3k range.
In my experience, once you get rid of all the people who are willing to voice a unique opinion, the people who are left are the ones make superficial one-liner puns. One of the great things about Lemmy is it’s usually a discussion, not just an upvote race like Reddit is.
yeah, when i started using lemmy i started blocking every chungus i disagreed with. then i realized i’m a pretty big chungus myself on a bad day, and there’s like a hundred of us who use this regularly. if i block someone who’s just having a bad day that’s diminishes the experience here, but if i block someone who’s always having a bad day (i’m not naming names, but there are a few) it improves the experience.
i think i might have fifty users total blocked (mostly bots and trolls i hope), and i’ve added maybe ten in the last year. 3k is just stupid.
Maybe he wants to see no comments at all on lemmy
deleted by creator
no no. he “compressed it for efficiency” /s
but really, he said that.
fucking dumbass.
Hmm,

Admiral used Blahaj as an example of a “terrorist” instance in their rant.
This confirms they are just another garden variety fascist trying to sanitize the world around them because they’re too fragile to adapt, and in their psychosis they think everyone else will support their obviously broken mindset.
Yo admiral fash, if you’re here with us go ahead and add me to your walmart brand palantir system. I stand with LGBTQIA, and rest assured I’d have some violence for you for silencing their voices.
Palantemu
That’s a winner.
‘Great Value Palantir’
I’m in stiches, hahaha!
@ptz@dubvee.org is who you want.
It looks like you are right. It is a confirmed alt.
They also specifically stated they do not support transphobia
Maybe the truth is more nuanced than someone you hate is a fascist
I dunno, seems like ‘but I have a black friend’ or ‘I’m not racist but…’ energy, if they’re dumb enough to think blahaj of all places is a terrorist organization…
There exist other reason they could consider blahaj bad
Not good reasons though
If there are no good reasons to block it, then what was your point?
That calling everyone a fascist is counterproductive because not everyone is as evil as one
I mean, the rest of us can’t help it if they’re expressing fascist ideologies. We just call it when we see it.
But they arent expressing fascist ideologies. Fascism is more than censorship
You do realize by virtue of having a blahaj account, admiral considers you one of these violent extremist leftists he shadowbans, right? You’re literally going to bat for your own oppressor right now.
Fascists won’t consider you one of the “good ones” no matter how much you defend them, just some food for thought.
I disagree with the actions of the person discussed, but i am not going to call them fascist because of something that maybe possibly kinda could make them transphobic, but has multiple possible explanations
A transphobic fascist wouldnt mention that they prohibit transphobia, at best “forget” to mention it
Not everything that is bad is fascist
Completely agree. There’s plenty of issues everywhere, but they’re not all fascist and fascism isn’t the cause of every issue. To ascribe everything to fascism is simultaneously boiling things down to black and white thinking and dilutes the meaning of fascism.
Sure, but that Tesseract guy is definitely a fascist.
Nah, he’s just come out as a bog standard shitlib.
No one complained about all the kids I raped until they knew about it! - Trump
not one person complained until db0 went internet Karen with his hissy fit because I took his toy away from him.
Lmao because nobody knew until db0 pointed it out. Do you really think the community at large would’ve taken it well if they had known?
I don’t mean this ironically but this person needs to touch grass. Go offline. Disengage.
I think he should be set on fire, along with all the other people I’m on Lemmy to say should be set on fire.
every day i wake up, log into lemmy, and advocate for setting a select list of people on fire. do people use this platform for something else?
I’m also a fan of beheadings and trying to bring back drawing and quartering.
ah we frequent the same communities!
Don’t forget to advocate for the Balkanization of the United States so that all of our political problems can be magically solved and I get to bring my passport and go through customs to cross the militarized Mississippi River.
Not magic, just bringing back execution for treason, bribery, and betraying the people of your electorate. Simple stuff.
do people use this platform for something else?
Catching up in the latest bean and moth related memes. I’m just surprised we don’t have any memes around moths circling beans.
I like to make poop jokes
Making a blacklist for your frontend is one thing.
Not telling users about it is an entirely different, more fucked up thing.
Purposefully disguising block as technical difficulties instead of deliberate blocks is yet another level of different and more fucked up.
A blacklist that users are informed of and therefore (presumably) consent to when using the software, I could understand. I still don’t entirely agree with it, but I understand.
But each of the additional levels of fucked-up-ness turn it from understandable to despicable. Absolutely fuck that dev in every which way.
Yeah, but seeing myself on line 1208 of the super-secret banned list made me feel far more dangerous and badass than I deserve. I feel like I’m barely a decent person, but I’m still working on it; apparently, that makes me a radical.
I would love an anti fascist blocklist
Do you really run into that many fascists on Lemmy? (As long as you’re not counting tankies as fascist, I guess. Which they’re technically not quite.)
And the statement that it wasn’t encrypted, just compressed, is an entirely antagonistic reframing.
There were multiple block lists. Some right in the open, and one that was stored as a monolithic .dat (I assume the one he called “compressed”).
The end result is that the second list was obfuscated from not only end-users, but also “admins” hosting it, and developers attempting to work on the project.
The compression decision only holds if all of the filter lists were compressed and this decision was clearly documented.
Plus the circumstantial evidence that the “enable toxic mode” option did not in fact disable the filtering that relied on the .dat file.
I can’t even say that I’m in theory against his openly stated goals of making the fediverse more approachable to normies. But this is not the way to implement it, and it’s not the way to react when called out about it.
I can’t even say that I’m in theory against his openly stated goals of making the fediverse more approachable to normies.
If you want something approachable for normies, Facebook is right there.
IMO, the fediverse should be weird and stay weird. It doesn’t need to grow huge, it doesn’t need to become a normie website or a household name.
I’m more than OK with weird. I love weird. I’m even ok with strong political opinions that I don’t always agree with. I’m fine with Lemmy staying small in the hopes it never ends up becoming an eternal September situation.
Those aren’t the issue.The problem is the violent rhetoric combined with the intense and constant bad-jacketing. Constant jumping to bad conclusions about other users and arguing against those straw men instead of trying for good faith.
At least you only jumped to the conclusion that I wanted Lemmy to stop being weird and grow unsustainably popular. I was honestly expecting someone to call me a corporate stooge or that I’m just a butthurt MAGA chud upset that Lemmy leans left-wing, then tell me to kill myself.
Word bad step on lego immediately

Well, I don’t want you to feel disappointed, so here goes: you’re a person who likes money and you’re just upset that my virtue signalling is of higher fidelity! You should go get a coin and put it on your shoulder, so you get alarmed by the sudden clattering when you forget it’s there and it hits the floor!
Is that enough vitriol for you?
