    I’ve been a dick on this account and my lemmy.world account for almost 4 years now, and I’m not on the list.

    Gonna have to try harder.

    Both me and my violent website are on the list… I read his 10 ‘rules’, and they read like they were written by a person who doesn’t like to hear or see things outside of his own bubble.

    From his own instance description: “The default UI for DubVee is called Tesseract and is developed by the admins of this instance. We no longer offer Lemmy-UI as the devs have decided to add a giant “donation” banner that cannot be disabled and puts words in the mouths of all instances regarding what content is acceptable.” (emphasis mine)

    The audacity.

    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.

      On top of that, [0-9]+ matches one or more digits and ()? matches the contained token zero or one times, so the whole thing combines to zero or more digits, which is just [0-9]*. They’re even bad at regex.

      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.

          I just don’t get why he’s insisting on a regex for this. Surely filtering comments out based on sentiment scoring would yield a better experience.

      You know how people used voyager/boost/etc to access reddit? Well the web app is a similar idea (adds features, filter options, etc for customizing your Lemmy experience) except imagine the dev decided to add a secret filter list to the app where they added keywords, users, and subreddits that they didn’t like so you simply wouldn’t see them.

      A fair number of instances had implemented the web app (called Tesseract, search Lemmy for that term if you want more details).

      The reason it’s good to be on the list is because the list includes a bunch of popular lefty communities including some entire instances like Blahaj. Being listed individually just means you made the dev butthurt at some point so they decided people using their front end shouldn’t get to see your posts.

        One detail I’m still not fully clear on is how widespread the effects are. Say an instance uses the tesseract frontend. Does that mean that everyone who accesses lemmy via that instance was having all of this filtering applied? Does it only apply if they were accessing it via the web? If they logged into the same instance via a smartphone app, would it still be applying all of the hidden tesseract filters?

          It’s just a web client, logging in from other spaces wouldn’t be impacted. It would be at its own URL like Tesseract.Lemmy.World for Lemmy.world (made up example). It’s implemented at the instance level by instance admins. A lot of instances implement multiple options for their userbase so only users using that option would be impacted.

      Oh, so he thinks most of us are violent nutjobs. Well if thinking billionaires and child molesters should be exterminated is wrong I don’t want to be right.

      Thanks @Sprinks, I had been following this for a few days but couldn’t find the list until you shared it here. I was certain I wasn’t cool enough to have angered this twat edgelord, but here I am in bright and agnsty glory!

      I just thought it was usernames. I can’t believe he blocked link shortners and go fundme. I get link shorteners to an extent, but outright blocking them instead of giving a warning?

    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?
