Context: Admiral Patrick replied and included this gem:
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.
“Not one person complained about my explicitly obfuscated blacklists! Damn internet Karens making a big deal!”

Admiral used Blahaj as an example of a “terrorist” instance in their rant.
This confirms they are just another garden variety fascist trying to sanitize the world around them because they’re too fragile to adapt, and in their psychosis they think everyone else will support their obviously broken mindset.
Yo admiral fash, if you’re here with us go ahead and add me to your walmart brand palantir system. I stand with LGBTQIA, and rest assured I’d have some violence for you for silencing their voices.
Don’t know the situation, but I’m a little confused after reading the linked post. In the link post, the dev says that it was always mentioned in the app’s settings with a “toxic mode” that turned off the filtering, yet everyone here talks about it as if he kept it a secret. What’s going on? Was that text actually in the settings or is the dev lying here? If it was in the settings, why is everyone claiming the dev hid it?
Wow what a cock. He thinks I fit in the category of being a “violent extremist?” Seriously? All I ever do is advocate for peacefully voting assholes out of office. Fuck this guy and his quiet censorship. May he always find a pebble in his shoe.
Weird experience to get labeled as too radioactive for any other social media by someone I haven’t thought about at all before today
not one person complained until db0 went internet Karen with his hissy fit because I took his toy away from him.
Lmao because nobody knew until db0 pointed it out. Do you really think the community at large would’ve taken it well if they had known?
I don’t mean this ironically but this person needs to touch grass. Go offline. Disengage.
I think he should be set on fire, along with all the other people I’m on Lemmy to say should be set on fire.
every day i wake up, log into lemmy, and advocate for setting a select list of people on fire. do people use this platform for something else?
If all that talk of “tesseract is more than a client, it’s an experience that sands off the rough edges of the fediverse” was true wouldn’t that be prominently featured in the readme and UI? All this “toxic mode” and “extremists” buzzwords make it seem like you’re protecting users, but many users of Lemmy are here exactly because of those “rough edges”, fleeing from the sanitized, censored, unfree mainstream websites. Not because we’re terrorists, but because we believe that saying “billionaires should be hanged” shouldn’t be disallowed. Fuck facebookifying my experience by showing boomer memes and hiding real talk.
and the remaining 20% just garden-variety spammers and toxic people who scare the normies away.
Oh man, I’d rather have a list of normies that make the internet slop
Long story short, at some point, the Fediverse stopped growing organically and simply became the dumping ground for all of the people too radioactive to be platformed anywhere else in civil society.
Eh, they’re not wrong about a few of their points. Discovering Lemmy after being banned from Reddit is a very common occurrence. Blocking lemmy.ml also makes using the site a much less abrasive experience.
Defederation, instance/community bans, and personal block lists already manage that. Pretending to curate the user’s experience by using a hidden blacklist that’s mostly decided by the dev’s personal grievances is just power tripping bs.
Not arguing that, I’m just saying I understand some of their motivations.
That post from the creator reads like a 4chan chud who escaped containment and is mad about their stinky diaper. Honestly, having read some of their little hissy fit about being caught, fuck that friendless asshole.
Upset? Everyone who’s on the list sees it as a badge of honour

Fyi, that list doesn’t collapse on some clients and is egregiously long. Hosting it on pastebin or something would probably be better.
Like Charles said this is just the direct bans, there’s a whole regex section that goes one step further
With a blacklist like that, I’m surprised any content appeared at all, the instances listed cover most of what I see on All
This isn’t the full list, some people were on it regardless of instance. I’m on it, but it’s any user who has my name and any numbers after it for some reason
Hahaha thank you!
Making a blacklist for your frontend is one thing.
Not telling users about it is an entirely different, more fucked up thing.
Purposefully disguising block as technical difficulties instead of deliberate blocks is yet another level of different and more fucked up.
A blacklist that users are informed of and therefore (presumably) consent to when using the software, I could understand. I still don’t entirely agree with it, but I understand.
But each of the additional levels of fucked-up-ness turn it from understandable to despicable. Absolutely fuck that dev in every which way.
And the statement that it wasn’t encrypted, just compressed, is an entirely antagonistic reframing.
There were multiple block lists. Some right in the open, and one that was stored as a monolithic .dat (I assume the one he called “compressed”).
The end result is that the second list was obfuscated from not only end-users, but also “admins” hosting it, and developers attempting to work on the project.
The compression decision only holds if all of the filter lists were compressed and this decision was clearly documented.
Plus the circumstantial evidence that the “enable toxic mode” option did not in fact disable the filtering that relied on the .dat file.
I can’t even say that I’m in theory against his openly stated goals of making the fediverse more approachable to normies. But this is not the way to implement it, and it’s not the way to react when called out about it.
The list is pretty self-explanatory except xenophobia. That one seems to get a pass everywhere, but I will not let that one slide. No country is a Planet of Hats, so when you perpetuate harmful or hateful stereotypes or make sweeping derogatory statements about all people of a national origin, you’re only showing how hateful and ignorant you are. Those people are not welcome.
He’s talking about Israel isn’t he
Oh that’s a top tier temper tantrum trying to justify themselves. They got caught and they’re real mad about it.
Genius thought nobody would ever read the source code…
Damn, Admiral Patrick makes so much sense now…
lmfao, that (linked) post. Read four words and almost fell backwards off my chair due to the sheer concentrated dipshittery, it’s like taking a firehose to the face.
Of course they locked the post so you can’t reply
