    Did someone backup the list?
    I just got back from a 2-week holiday and missed the event, now it has been taken down and I’m dying of curiosity.

    It would actually be quite interesting to see what Lemmy looks like with this list in place, it will probably just be Lady Butterfly and a handful of others. He even banned Violet.

    I’m not banned on Tesseract, because I’m a big dick and the Tesseract dev loves big dicks.

        Oh yeah? We’re you too woke? Did you suggest that trans people and immigrants deserve human rights? Did you imply that fascism or genocide is bad?

        Or maybe you just enjoyed that the voices of people that did were silenced in secret?

    Lemmy is confusing, I don’t understand this banning controversy even after asking my pal Claude. Need an ELI5. What would happen if I got banned?

      The easiest way to explain this if you have no clue how fediverse works is - imagine there is a third party reddit, discord, X or some other platform’s client that lets you browse their website/content. The developer of that client made a list of users whose comments/posts are hidden in said client. In reality, the client does not have significant user base and this affects almost nothing. Some users might not see your comments, but that’s really their problem more than mine/ours at this point.

      The dev made it so that if you used his frontend it would download a secret list of instances, communities, people, and words that they hand curated because he didn’t like them.

      This had the effect of a ban list that the user was unaware of, but really it would be more accurate to call it a censor list. The dev was censoring the Fediverse.

      He mostly censored things that were “left-wing” or “woke”, and he seemed to hate human rights advocates dispite having many alts on a star trek instance.

      Later he effected a ddos attack within his “goodbye” message, although he is still quite active in the Fediverse and uses many alts to defend his own actions. One of those alts probably already posted a shit take on this post.

      If you got banned by Tesseract, your posts would not be visible to anyone using Tesseract as their frontend. Even if you were not banned by wherever you are trying to post, explicitly blocked by the Tesseract user, or filtered out in some other way, your comments and posts would be hidden. And this hidden centralized blacklist was unilaterally administered by the dev of Tesseract.

      Full disclosure: I got a regex on the blacklist 😁

    Yep

    I assume it’s because I despise Zionists, would happily see every conservative burn and look forward to the fall of the US (once I get my fiancée out of there)

      In case I’m not banned on tessaract (spelling?) I hate zionists as well and conservatives have been the worst in the US and for the US since the beginning
