I have only been here a few months. When do I get to go on it?
The what?
I’m the admin of one of the blocked instances. Yay!
In with 115 comments. Weirdest flex.
I didn’t make the cut either. 😭
You are obviously not a big enough bell end. I’m a complete twat and I’m on it.
Im… that’s…
OK fine.
I need to step up my twatiness and bell end-itude.
“not gay enough” apparently is a thing now
Same 😔
Aaaw, I’m not in it either.
Is there an application form I can fill somewhere?
Some boss did a github pull request.
🔘I’m in this meme and I don’t like it
the what now?
I’ll try to summarise from memory and my knowledge from a couple of posts, but details might be wrong since I’ve not done a deep dive into this. I’m not going to go looking for links and references, because who has the time?
There was a frontend for Lemmy called Tesseract (a frontend is a different interface for the Lemmy site. For example, I use Alexandtrie and think this is the best interface in browser if you want to see what a frontend looks like). Anyway, it came to light that the dev for Tesseract had covertly added a blacklist to the frontend. He then wrote a long rant about how there’s propoganda and unpleasantness on Lemmy and he’s trying to protect his users from this. In reality he basically described how he wants to block anyone who isn’t agreeable with his opinion, expresses leftist opinions, supports LGBTQ+ rights, etc. So people have taken it as a badge of honour in being on the list and are making it a mockery of Tesseract. The dev has taken down the Github page for Tesseract (although I think someone forked it first and removed the blacklist). So now people are flooding Lemmy with memes about being on the list and hating on Tesseract. It’s all fun and games, but as with all things with social media trends, it will likely start getting boring as you come across a lot of this on your feed.
well now im disappointed that im not on that list
I thought I got pretty spicy when I was telling people they were being queerphobic but I guess not 😞
I routinely tell people to get fucked but didn’t make the list. They must have more stringent criteria than just being rude.
Link to the list? Now I’m curious . . .
Gotta bump those numbers up, I’m at 2.5k comments in 10 months. Just scattershot your political opinions into the void, you’ll make the list.
I don’t post much, but there’s also a chance I get overlooked. 🤫
Didn’t they filter entire instances?
That, too.
Yeah maybe OP just stuck to instances that were mostly blocked. No reason to feel left out.
Am in !!
