I love immigrants
LEFT WING EXTREMIST
^^ there, I should be in the files whenever a scraper somewhere runs
I’m disappointed the list does not include “reason for…”, because I want to know what specifically I did, so that I can do it harder, more often, in all capitals
I’m so bummed that I’m not on the list
Kinda surprised admiralpatrick/ptz doesn’t have a bunch of replies asking to be added as far as I can tell. Fediverse isn’t toxic enough to even get a laugh at such spam. 😞
Me too. Curiously, there’s a username that’s similar to mine that’s only a month old and as far as I can tell hasn’t really posted anything. I wonder how they got on the list.
asimons04? More like Asmongold04
I was found to be a leftist extremist today. It was a good day.
Browser extension to append a badge of fame next to the username on the list would be easy to make
Posting this wherever it comes up. The post is locked but downvotes are not.
It’s a tone-deaf “explanation” of how we’re all too toxic for the fediverse.
Love they’re complaining out having zero tolerance for hate as they do a literal hate post.
Thanks for the link, I didn’t know about this yet. So from what I gather, deploying malware on other’s servers so you can secretly control the narrative of what ideas can propagate is something “someone had to do.” Disgusting behavior, betraying trust and consent in one fell swoop for who knows how many folks and server owners that used the software.
I hope it didn’t matter even if it was written as a heartfelt apology, but hopefully the doubling down here further emboldens the complete removal of Terreract from Lemmy server stacks, and users’ willingness to utilize it in any capacity. This is obviously not an individual anyone can trust to run their code, and who knows what may be cooked up next—or is still waiting to be discovered.
Oh wow, so guy explains that he did it because the fediverse is so toxic by making a super toxic post. Right.
This bitch rage quit his instance because he was mad that people liked Luigi
And the guy Luigi killed, killed far more people to boot. Killing by neglegence and bureocracy. That’s just wholesome normal shit right? Nothing wrong witrh that. God forbid you celebrate the death of a murdurer… you monster!
I’d like to see a society where murder isn’t the solution. But when murderers are allowed to profit and succede with no reprocussions. That certainly isn’t it. And I’m certianly not going to be up in arms about the person that did what society failed to do. It’s rediculous.
Hello, sad detective man, haven’t seen you in a while. Are you on the list?
Hello 👋 I was on one of them! I didn’t think I had been here long enough, but I made the cut! Did you?
Nope, but three of my communities did! Congrats!
Damn. That’s proper. Congratulations. I’m jealous.
Oh my god… I haven’t feasted on tears like that… in quite a while.
What a little bitch.
Yeah, you got caught, dumbfuck, red fucking handed!
Oh yes, succulent tears, salty tears… mmmmm.
Reminds me of that Skyrim vore modder who crashed out majorly over people adding men to the mod. That mod was only written for the experience of being vored by women!
Yep… yep this is approximately as stupid as that was.
Like I said elsewhere, might have been a different thread… reminds me of GMod RP admins working in SteamID blocklists to ban rival RP community members.
The funny part with that though is… these were literal 14 yo’s, and they were clever enough to actually encrypt the entire file, you needed a server key to unencrypt and run both that file and the whole gamemode.
So, from that lense, this is more poorly executed than what a 14yo squeaker that ran a GMod server almost 20 years ago can do.
Its so sad it wraps around to hilarious, for me.
Dumbfuck boomer Admiral Patrick got out done by his grandson, before his grandson’s balls had even dropped.
Just comedy gold.
Thank you. Talk about this place being toxic, this person should feel like a pig in mud with a creepy and deranged list like that.
I wonder which one of those 10 deadly sins I committed, according to them. Can’t say I feel I’ve done any of those, personally, and yet here we are. Turning the banlist of their “friendly frontend” into their personal shitlist really belies what they’re claiming here.
This is the second one PLEASE include me in the next secret block list I’m starting to feel unloved.

Take this as a reminder…be more left wing. More dark woke. Put these idiots in their place whenever you see them. Shame them, and even better, turn them into a joke. They’re special little snowflakes that can’t handle the spotlight.
That’s my guess at how I got onto the list being a relatively new account, specifically calling out people like Madthumbs, AliOski, GoatSynagogue and others.
Or I was pretty active in the threads in Mullvad showing how ethnic cleansing is right wing and fascist, the google threads trying to lock down open source development, and the threads on if lolicon should be translated as pedophile, which it should. That thread got deleted unfortunately lol.
be more left wing
Yes
More dark woke
Dark woke is a cooked up-in-a-DNC-thinktank triangulated centrist attempt to appeal to the youth, ‘Pokémon go to the polls’ with a modicum more effort
… what you’ve said… reminds me of a song.
ahem
Find him, bind him,
Tie him to a pole and break
His fingers to splinters.
Drag him to a hole
Until he wakes up naked
Clawing at the ceiling of his grave.
Yo ho. Y’arr.
When things like this happen… I get a strange, nautical kind of jolly.
Who doesn’t like a good song?
Whats the point of keeping up the good fight… if you can’t have fun while doing it?
Ahahaha!
He’s certainly a rake and a roustabout…
I had to check the list to see who I was in this meme….
Squidward 😞
Only two pawb.social accounts were specifically blocked and I wasn’t one of them. What an exclusive club to be a part of.
One of those accounts basically made some benign comments and posted Sonic art they drew to relevant places. Given that I’m surprised more users aren’t on there. Hell, I’ve literally drawn Luigi memes and wasn’t there, idk.
Out of all the lists to be on, this ought to be one of the best
For the love of all that’s good and proper, PPEASE SPECIFY WHICH LIST.
Anyone who’s even just a day out of the loop will think you’re aching to be a member of the Epstein class.
Nah man, no one was thinking that. Ain’t nobody around here Rich enough to be on that list.
‘Tesseract’ is a Lemmy frontend client, it’s code contains hardcoded lists of instances and users that were blocked:
A better more detailed explanation from https://hexbear.net/post/9101245?:
spoiler
Also
/c/modabuse. Also/c/yepowertrippinbastards. Alsolemmy.ml/c/worldnews,comrade,ACAB, and 552 individual accounts across 67 instances, about half of them on lemmy.world.None of this is in the source code. It’s downloaded at runtime from a file nobody has ever looked at.
If you’re just tuning in
Tesseract is a third-party web frontend for Lemmy, maintained by asimons04 and licensed AGPL-3.0. Admins deploy it on their own servers alongside or instead of lemmy-ui, and there are public instances of it people use to browse Lemmy generally. If you’ve used a Lemmy site that didn’t look like stock Lemmy, there’s a fair chance it was this.
Last week db0 posted a PSA: Tesseract contains a blacklist of instance domains compiled directly into the application. 32 of them. Admins can’t see it, can’t configure it, and aren’t told it’s there. Connect to a listed instance and the app tells you it’s “incompatible,” which is not true.
I went through the code to see how that was implemented. The hardcoded list turns out to be the small half of the system.
There’s a second filter policy fetched over HTTP every time the app loads. It isn’t in the git repository. It’s unauthenticated and world-readable, so anyone can pull it. Right now it carries 552 user accounts, 2,275 username patterns, 54 instances, 97 communities, 289 keyword patterns and 351 domains, with every category set to hide matches rather than flag them. Not collapsed behind a click. Simply absent, with no indication anything was removed.
Verify all of it in ten seconds

Call the rest of it whatever you like. This part is not spam defence.
It filters words
The 32 community name patterns include
Communis(t|m),Conservativ(e|es|ism),Leftis(t|m),Libertarian(ism)?,^Green Part(y|ies),Zionis(t|m),(Police|Cops),guillotineandbillionaire.Keywords include
comrade,ACAB,neoliberal,proletaria(n|t)anddeath to.Filtered communities on instances that aren’t blocked:
lemmy.ml/c/worldnews,lemmy.today/c/news,lemmy.ca/c/politicalnewscanada,lemmy.ca/c/usa,infosec.pub/c/strategic_unions.The 552 users aren’t bots
67 instances. 272 on lemmy.world alone, 40 on sh.itjust.works, 19 on lemmy.ca, and 28 instances contributing exactly one person each.
355 of the 552 usernames are plain alphabetic, twelve characters or under, median length eight. Only 36 look like spam registrations. A bot list looks like the opposite of that.
Seven of them aren’t even Lemmy. There are Mastodon and Friendica accounts in there: people who have never used Lemmy, hidden by a Lemmy frontend, with no possible way of finding out.
I have the list and I’m not posting it. Most of these are ordinary people who got pattern-matched, and 552 names on this comm is a harassment target inside an hour. Run the command above and grep for yourself.
And it lies about it
When the instance block fires you get: “Incompatible Instance. Not Supported. $instance is not compatible with Tesseract.”
Nothing is incompatible. It’s a policy decision dressed as an API error, and it’s what had db0 chasing a version mismatch that never existed.
For the hidden users, communities and keywords, you get no message at all.
Admins can’t switch it off
Tesseract has env vars for
PUBLIC_DOMAIN_BLACKLIST,PUBLIC_FAKE_NEWS_BLACKLISTand the shortener lists. There is none for either blocklist.enableToxicModebypasses the other filters and explicitly not this one.Self-host it and you cannot disable this, nothing in your config admits it exists, and the contents can change without you pulling a commit.
Before someone says it
A lot of that domain list is real spam defence. It filters conservatism as well as communism. “It targets the left” doesn’t survive the data and I’m not going to pretend it does.
The problem is that spam filtering and political editorial got welded into one undocumented, remotely-updatable blob, shipped hidden, to admins who’ve never read it and users who don’t know it’s there. The spam work is what makes the rest unauditable: “it’s a spam list” answers every individual question and none of the whole.
And
/c/modabuseis not spam.Asks
- Publish the runtime policy in the repo, or kill the endpoint.
- Stop reporting a policy block as a technical incompatibility.
- Tell users when something’s been hidden. One line.
- Give operators an off switch, like every other blacklist in the codebase has.
It’s AGPL-3.0 and db0 already forked it. That’s the licence working as designed. But forking isn’t disclosure, and the admins who need this are precisely the ones with no reason to go looking.
If you run Tesseract, you are relaying a 111KB moderation policy you have never read, under your instance’s name, to users who don’t know it exists.
Full contents of every list, unedited, in the comments.
Basically like piefed another chud project for those upset that a federated social network largely free from corporate control has left wing-users expressing left wing opinions outside of the Overton window of acceptable political opinions instilled by billionaire-owned media, opinions banned/hidden from places like reddit, so part of the project was to move the politics of the fediverse rightwards
part of the project was to move the politics of the fediverse rightwards
Now that’s an Epstein thing given reddit and 4chan!
The epstein-class of people seek control over things they don’t control like the majority of the fediverse, not saying the terreract/piefed devs are being paid directly but at the least they’re doing their work for them
I’ll never know because I’m too stupid to understand how to look 😔
I have good news for you. You made the grade!
Enjoy walking around with that extra drip.
Oh shit! Seriously?! Damn
Hell yeah, I am so happy for you. You deserved it too I remember seeing your comments before and thinking you are cool!
Hell yes. You made it!
Moop and Lou did not though. Unfortunately they’re being deported to Ireland for smothering…
In cuddles.
In my house.
I’M ON THE LIST!
Told you I was fucking cool
