    Wow just rubbing it in. How do I at people? Admiral Patrick@lemmyworld, do your job and put me on that list!

    So did anyone figure out who was added to the list and why? I saw an account with total of 12 comments and no posts on it. The comments didn’t say anything remotely political. It bans both “Conservative” and “Communist” communities. It just looks like it was trying to ban politics as a whole and maybe used some silly bot detection algorithm to flag users?

      Could it be based on some subscriptions or maybe voting history on some posts?

      I’m there, maybe this is some sort of an ARG and we get some flair beside pur usernames as a trophy?

      It’s a general approach to names with numbers at the end, the list is full of those. I’m almost more interested in the more specific patterns like name(69)+, because was there an alt name6969 he wanted to block but an unrelated name67 he wanted to avoid?

        I know, and I suspect the name came up more than once. But if I implemented some kind of algorithm to add people to the list based on posting behaviour, I wouldn’t put in the effort to have it implement a regex for “this guy and whatever number they added”.

        To me this looks like he wrote the list by hand. Which is even weirder.

    See, actually, since there are technically multiple lists (this is the large one) and all of them are in files, it would be more correct to say “in the files”.

    I love how Lemmy’s biggest scandal to-date involves an open-source app for Lemmy.

    Can’t get that on reddit.

    Because they pulled the rug out from developers…sure…but that’s besides the point.

    (Sent with Boost, Lemmy client for Android…because it was my favorite reddit client)

      Oh yeah honestly the rapidity with which this took hold and almost everybody agreed FUCK THAT GUY and started working towards a collective fix actually gives me a lot of faith in fedi. I’m kinda hoping this does open up more conversation about open and customizable sorting and filtering algorithms. I feel like there’s space in fedi for more complex and personalized algorithms like you see on mainstream social media but in a way that’s easy for the end user to pop open, examine, and tweak to their needs, and easy to apply templates that are clear about their intentions and publicly auditable.

    Aw. Didn’t get my name on there, but my communities sure are there.

    “Moe” is in the regex. Buddy really don’t like weebs, huh.

    Where can I find the list? I’ve been poking around in the source and found some filtering code but I can’t find the full list.

    I am also in the list, was active early genocide and anti-Zionist and then stopped coming around for a long while… is this a good thing or bad thing?

    Update: I guess it’s the good list so far, thanks for the info.
