I ain't reading all that. Free Palestine.

This is the deranged ranting of a person who thinks they are a James Bond villain going off on a monologue.

The dude is trying to run a game of becoming a widely used piece of technology indispensable to the ecosystem and then using that position to impose a default experience on the entire thing that shuts out whatever he sees fit to shut out. His goal is literally positioning himself in the position of reddit Admin.

This is literally the reason everyone left reddit and started using decentralised software, and his goal is to re-centralise everything behind his software under the guise of "toxic" filters.

This is an op. I know this is an op because game knows game and I've run a few ops in my time.

Just don't hard code your personal grievances into your software. How fucking hard can that be? The diehard tankie communists of Lemmy managed to do that. All of those values could've been loaded from a config file. But instead he writes "I hate these users in particular" into his git history and gets upset when those users call him out for doing it.

All these fediverse libs exist in the highest form of liberal paternalism.

And might I add that not one person complained until db0 went internet Karen with his hissy fit because I took his toy away from him. I’d warned him several times over the last couple of years that his instance was becoming problematic, and when it reached a point I no longer wanted it associated with me or my project, I exercised my rights to disassociate.

The most scooby doo villain vibes of the whole post

"And I Would Have Gotten Away With It Too, If It Weren't For You Meddling Kids"

1. Advocacy of, incitement of, or ANY calls to violence.

This only ever applies to leftists or people in the global south. Argue in favor of invading Iran? Support Israel? Support banning abortion? Want to make homelessness a crime? These are all totally neutral opinions that totally don't involve the use of violence.

Say "It's really funny Charlie Kirk got clipped after he stated a few gun deaths (resulting from rightwing terrorists shooting up an elementary school) each year is the price of freedom" and it's "OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE THE HEXBEANIS ADVOCATES VIOLENCE!!!!!"

2. Racism, Xenophobia, Transphobia, Homophobia, Bigotry, et al

Fucking coward lmaoooo

Foxes and wolves...it's always foxes and wolves.

Letting the users of the whole Fediverse decide for themselves if they want to engage with certain instances would've been the better choice. But why choose the easy way when you can piss everyone off and then play the victim?

I'm completely clueless about who this is and why they're crashing out. I didn't even know any of this existed until the slop skimmers delivered it to our trough a day or two ago

Tesseract is an experience more than a client

I'm not reading the rest of that.

So in conclusion

another 600 words

To be blunt: Tesseract is designed to attract and retain normies. The Fediverse is stuck in a bit of a chicken and egg situation right now. It needs new people, but anyone in their right mind isn’t going to want to stick around because the loudest bunch here are just so off-putting to normal, well-adjusted people. I’ve attempted to resolve this catch-22 situation and am trying, perhaps hamfistedly, to save the Fediverse from itself.

I gotta ask who these mysterious level headed normies who'd be driven away by the fediverse community are given some of the things that list blocks. Like, for example one of the blocked communities is called "Wholesome Yuri". Who's being scared away by lesbians? and why would they be a better, less toxic community than the fediverse's existing one?

If you read this whole thing you need to log off

Does that leave blind spots for mods and admins?

A: No. The filtering is disarmed completely for admins and for mods in their communities.

Well then, now you know why it went by undetected for so long.

Dude basically made a list of active fediverse leftists. Looking at it, its basically a list of just active users.

Tldr? I'm too old

edit: asked a chinese llm to summarize this in one sentence from a communist perspective

TL;DR: An individual platform owner exercises bourgeois censorship by unilaterally deciding what speech is acceptable while claiming to protect "normies," revealing how digital feudalism allows private owners to control discourse in the name of community safety.

To disable them (referred to as enabling Toxic Mode in the settings), it’s as simple as:

Settings -> Advanced -> Click the "I feel like some content is missing. What's up?" text at the bottom -> Enable Toxic Mode

Didn't the admin's investigation show that "Toxic Mode" specifically DOESN'T disable the secret hidden filtering?

Holy shit just go touch grass OOP it isn't that serious. This is just a fourth of the link's embed lmao

I can't believe I didn't end up on the list

and then it degrades from there usually ending with them calling the other person a Nazi

Funny coincidence how people who get called Nazis a lot are usually Nazis.

The CIA is still not bringing their best to embrace-extend-extinguish Lemmy

God this guy sucks

So you equated China and Russia to the very clear genocide being committed by the US and Israel? You deserved it and your bullying is tantamount to genocide denial you ducking deserved the ban..

This thread is pretty fun too: https://lemmy.world/post/49844940
