        Not to speak for them, but my understanding is they abhor all calls to violence… And paradoxically, supporting Palestinian freedom is maybe a call to violence?

        I don’t want to make claims that don’t exist, but that’s how I could explain them blocking statements like this.

        And to be clear, yes, free Palestine!

        Wasn’t Admiral Patrick one of the devs that got caught upvoting all the Zionist propoganda posts like a year and a half ago? I wished I saved that thread. None of the most egregious Zionists accounts are on the ban list even though they are very abrasive and political extremists. I wouldn’t be surprised if the rest was just a cover for that.

        Using the word Zionist or the Epstein Class hides your comment :/ and I swear every account that’s critical of Israel is on that list.

    Perchance I can join the list 🥺?👉👈

    In all seriousness: how did they think it was a good idea to create a blacklist when a sizable chunk of the Fediverse is so against external interference in general? Did they not see this coming?

      the question mark only means the first emoji is optional. If you explicitly add it the RegExp unfortunately doesn’t match it anymore and you will forever be a rightist or whatever

        Yup, using the Lemmy modding tools so it shows up on the modlog.

        This was done in secret and for other instances without their consent.

    I’m still trying to understand what the hell Tessaract is… I’ve only moved over Lemmy in the last two weeks. Before I was banned on Reddit there was also something everyone was angry about different reddit apps.

    I’ve never understood any of this… I just want to talk to people, read silly shit and annoy everyone.

      It’s basically just a front end. Like a stylesheet. It should do nothing but display the existing data in certain ways.

      At least that’s what they’re supposed to be. This person decided to force their own views on everyone who uses it without disclosing that it’s doing that.

      Bro reddit banned me too. I just decided I’m done this time, not gonna bother creating a new account this time. They can sit there and circlejerk , I’m finally on a good lemmy app and there are no ads.

    Let’s start a new list called the “would have been on the first list if they knew about me” list

    Unless I’m stupid and can’t read it does appear I am infact on the list. Honestly I’m not even surprised given my bloodthirsty, but c’mon I have some good fucken shit post comments sometimes let folks decide if my particular breed of bloodlusted madness is acceptable or not ya fucken weak ass pussies.

    As Jericho used to say ‘You just made the list’. It’s better than a Reddit award.

    Wow. I had no idea this was going on. Well…

    If the author of the code, who was distributing it for free, wants to pick and choose who gets to run said code, then one is welcome to a refund of $0.00, I guess.

    …y’know, I feel like, hypothetically, if I made a list of ‘bad people’ and used it to control access to software made available to the general public, that would put me in a fair bit of hot water. If it doesn’t count as targeted harassment, it still creates a literal set of targeting data that anyone else can pick up and harass.

    But one way or another, i don’t think it’s very constructive for me to to continue to exist within the vicinity of someone who hates me. even vicariously through their code. just kinda stings is all…

        It made me wonder if he didn’t get the list from the largest instance he’s a user on? I’m telling you, they do some curating of the content over there. It happened to me and that’s why I’m SJW.

      It’s not who gets to run it, but who they get to interact with that’s the bad part, without even telling them makes it worse.

      Using software made by people who hate you and are willing to put that hate into their code is a bad idea for sure. If their software seeks to isolate you from communities and people that believe you have a right to exist, what’s left?
