    Can someone gind me a tl;dr and/or ELI5? I don’t even know what this “Tesseract” thing is in any context beyond the Marvel movies.

      Tesseract was an alternative frontend instances could host. Despite having configuration options for filtering or the lack thereof, Tesseract would silently both download and enforce a custom filter; this hidden filter could not be overridden by any custom configuration. The hidden filter included regex to block keywords, users, and instances, showing a generic error about anything filtered as being “incompatible with Tesseract”.

        I too can string random words together in a way that makes no sense. Watch:

        Glamorous apples run zones for yarn waggons fungus times

        See?

          I can explain. He forgot to mention the quantum carburator and how it connects to the micronuclear transcoder

          The words make sense.

          If you don’t understand them, try looking them up.

          Software is complicated and technical. You not being able to understand the words used in the field does not make them nonsensical.
