EDIT the repository has moved so all previous links are broken unless you update the root of the URL to https://github.com/paulo-roger/tesseract

Lol, you have to look at the commit history: https://github.com/paulo-roger/tesseract/commit/84c1b14c0606b6659d42faf3f47ff5705e2a0072

Shadow banning users, blocking archive sites, it's a gold mine of liberal authoritarian brain worms.

I'm just now realizing the user shadow bans have reasons, and some of them are so petty!

Wait, why is !cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works an extremist community?

    Embargoed lmao what's with the fed language. Idk what's sadder, cosplaying as an online psy-operative or actually being a fed and not being able to pass for a normal person.

    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.

    This seems like something 90% of people would oppose, which I guess is why they're hiding it. Not difficult to message admins of any tesseract using instances and inform them though, most will migrate to something else because admins choosing to run decentralised communities don't tend to like the thought of a developer sticking their nose in and meddling at the software level.

    Good way to kill your project tbh.

    Kinda a thing on Voyager too, hexbear isn't on the instances list and only lets you login/create account if you explicitly type hexbear.net

    These projects all die off when they cut off such significant portions of the userbase.

    Y'all are shit-talking this, but I just found a bunch of new, fun instances to start checking out. Thanks for your bone-headed support, tesseract!
