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.

    Wait, I just learned that the original Tesseract dev, paulo-roger, left the project many years ago. Here’s the reason he gave:

    I’m tired of dealing with the arrogant, tone-deaf Lemmy developers and their utter disdain for moderators and anyone else working within the ecosystem. To that end, development of and support for Tesseract for Lemmy has ceased.

    Hmm, I wonder who paulo-roger was talking about 💀💀
    (I’ve mistook who paulo-roger was talking about… Thanks, TotallynotJessica!)

        Oooooh, that makes so much more sense! I thought he was talking about Lemmy app developers when he wrote “Lemmy developers”, because I forgot that Lemmy itself is maintained by developers… 🤦 Thanks!
