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.

    You do realize by virtue of having a blahaj account, admiral considers you one of these violent extremist leftists he shadowbans, right? You're literally going to bat for your own oppressor right now.

    Fascists won't consider you one of the "good ones" no matter how much you defend them, just some food for thought.

    I disagree with the actions of the person discussed, but i am not going to call them fascist because of something that maybe possibly kinda could make them transphobic, but has multiple possible explanations

    A transphobic fascist wouldnt mention that they prohibit transphobia, at best "forget" to mention it

    Not everything that is bad is fascist

    Completely agree. There's plenty of issues everywhere, but they're not all fascist and fascism isn't the cause of every issue. To ascribe everything to fascism is simultaneously boiling things down to black and white thinking and dilutes the meaning of fascism.

    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.

    There's a really good reason why the fediverse is designed with public mod logs, and I imagine the motivation for creating these tools for blocking/hiding/burying content on the frontend is to get around the accountability that public moderation logs enable.

    I imagine that is also why some of the first communities AP blocked were mod abuse forums.

    As ever, scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.

    My discussions since joining Lemmy & dbzer0 specifically are so much higher quality than when I used Reddit. People aren't calling each other stupid, and real discussions seem to be had from both sides of different topics. Maybe the instance I'm in is just well-moderated but I can't see how this community could be considered toxic or put on a blacklist by anyone other than those who are ignorant and judge books by their covers.

    You might have missed the troubles, a period when squid was still active and being anti Zionist could and would get you banned across whole instances where pointing out that Joe Biden was clearly losing in their race to be president would result in a several week ban for some of the most important and critical members of the community.

    It does raise the question of what's left once you're done scouring out all the shit you don't like.

    In my experience, once you get rid of all the people who are willing to voice a unique opinion, the people who are left are the ones make superficial one-liner puns. One of the great things about Lemmy is it's usually a discussion, not just an upvote race like Reddit is.

    yeah, when i started using lemmy i started blocking every chungus i disagreed with. then i realized i'm a pretty big chungus myself on a bad day, and there's like a hundred of us who use this regularly. if i block someone who's just having a bad day that's diminishes the experience here, but if i block someone who's always having a bad day (i'm not naming names, but there are a few) it improves the experience.

    i think i might have fifty users total blocked (mostly bots and trolls i hope), and i've added maybe ten in the last year. 3k is just stupid.

    It doesn't matter to you in the sense that Tesseract is a web browser frontend and if you use Voyager you are not personally affected by the block list in your consumption of content.

    It may or may not matter to you in the sense that your posts and comments might be silently shadowbanned and hidden from a lot of the people who do use the Tesseract frontend. And if you are not personally on the list, some people whose content you care about may be.

    It also may or may not matter to you as a matter of principle, in the sense that you may care about the issue of silent censorship.

    There's also the fact that he wrapped up his "Toxic content" list into the security layer of the system that is there to keep a lid on spam and bots. So your choice is either to have an open forum on your instance and deal with spam and bots using your instance as a playground, or having security and blocking a whole mess of people that you don't actually want to block.

    And all of this on top of him not bothering to tell anybody who exactly he was blocking with that list or why.

    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.
