Extremist dev of the Tesseract front end for Lemmy coded in a secret blacklist full of thousands of users, communities, and instances. Further adding to the duplicity was that Instead of displaying a note that anything was banned, it returned a generic error message as if to make users think there was only a technical issue.
Can someone please explain in great detail what’s happening

How were the users identified and why am I on that list?
