Edit: For context, @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com discovered that the developer of Tesseract had discretely banned numerous instances and disguised it as a server error. This included more heavily leftist instances, but also blahaj.zone. More recently, it was discovered that they had also been suppressing individual users, phrases, and communities that criticize power tripping on fedi.

Needless to say, I implore non blahaj.zone users to drop the Tesseract client (support for the client has already been dropped for blahaj). So called “liberals” like this who call out “extremism on both sides” are an insult to the values they claim to be upholding.

    It’s weird.

    Violet08 is banned while femcelmemes is not. Blahaj is banned while TotallyNotJessica is not.

    Do they have inverted criteria for communities and users? What are the criterias? Will someone please tell me how do I get on this list!?

      Oh, and if you want to get banned, you must:

      • Go to the comms the dev does;
      • Say something they might consider “too extremist” (either to the left or to the right, from what I gathered) or “too group thinking”.

      I don’t see much benefit in doing this, but have fun.

      EDIT: I forgot to say that you should also avoid any of the keywords in the blacklist, otherwise your post/comment might not show up at all in the dev’s feed.

      I believe the dev isn’t actively looking for things to ban. They probably just ban things whenever they find them at their feed. TotallyNotJessica admits she doesn’t post much outside of blåhaj zone, so it’s not unlikely that she never appeared on their feed.
