    Tesseract is a Lemmy fork that appears to have blocked some users and communities for being visible there. Mostly leftist ones.

      Small correction tesseract is a front-end for Lemmy not a fork, essentually it’s juste a way to browse Lemmy, it also blocked a trans instance and a Yuri community so the developper is a transphobe and a homophobe

        Isn’t Yuri just child porn though? And do the “leftist” instances happen to be fascist ones like .ml?

          I don’t know what you’re conflating that with but no, yuri is a term from Japanese media for lesbian romance, while yaoi is the gay equivalent.

          Leftist and fascist are opposites. Fascism is a right-wing ideology.

          You may be looking for the term authoritarian, or totalitarian. Many people refer to them as “tankies” on the left, although as a term that’s become as vague as “woke” for most people using it. Also followers of Trotsky ideology (or “trots”) - tend to behave in divisive ways and believe in hardline authoritarianism (workers only obey the party but have no voice). Not sure how many of them exist on .ml but as a large leftist safe space on the internet I wouldn’t be surprised to find some there.

            They support Putin’s Russia, let’s not pretend they’re leftists. They’re authoritarians and like auth regimes regardless of political leaning, as long as they’re not western. So they support fascism too.

              I don’t really hang out on/with .ml very much (mostly just my own browsing habits) but my understanding is that they’re not a monolith.

              Again, not surprised to find Trots and (actual, not libscolding) tankies there - but just like MAGA don’t speak for all of America, and Al Queda doesn’t speak for all Muslims, they don’t represent “the left” as a whole.
