Db0 discovering the blocklist https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/72685299

Someone pointed out that the developer of the frontend added an explicit hidden and unmodifiably blacklist which includes any and all instances to the left of Kissinger.

Interesting that he has a secret unmodifiable blacklist for leftist and/or queer instances (blahaj is also on there), and also a Star Trek pic on his github file...

Also, couldn't someone just fork it and remove the blacklist? Just name it free-tesseract or something so that people have a better option and his efforts are negated.

    Might be better to keep the list, but have the frontend tag each user and instance on it as "Blessed by the Reactionary Tesseract Devs" or something instead of censoring them. LOL.
