Aww i am not on it :(
I think I'm out of the loop here, but what is tesseract?
fascist client that blocks everything non fascist
had blocklist made public
Holy shit, I hadn't bothered to look the blocklist up because I figured I wasn't THAT radical, but I'm in bby!

Edit. Only one from my instance. I'm the black sheep in the family!
Awesome, but curious how did I end up on the list?
Thanks for posting this. This was the first link to it I found and the first to confirm that my unimportant ass is actually listed. Noice.
I got excited, how do I get the list?
have basic human empathy and atleast a month old acc I think
It's a bit more than that. I have basic empathy and have been a user here for about 3 years, but I'm not on the list.
But I don't understand the rationale for inclusion. I skimmed through the list and recognizes quite a few usernames. Most are just regular, reasonable people. Some are more left-wing firebrands, and a few are right-wing trolls. There's no rhyme or reason from what I can see.
oh you meant the list not on the list
srry
lmao ([0-9]+)?
Almost like the guy is some kind of idiot
if someone made an alt, they wouldnt name it
[MainUsername]1
That's another layer of headscratching, yeah. The thing I meant to snark at is how stupidly the "any number" match is written: "make a pointless new group that contains at least one digit - oh, and that group may not exist", instead of just * which is simply "zero or more of the thing"
Vibecoded regex, yay
I'm so happy to be on the list!

I’m truly honored
Man, I gotta step up my game.
I think i made it on? The lack of a number trips me up.

Oh wow, I'm on it, and I'm not even very active!
I'm not on the list, and I've spent all evening and all morning looking at myself in the mirror like "Am... am I a Nazi? I don't feel like one... but maybe they don't feel like one either..."
What am I looking at?
Where can in find this list?
The one I saw is at https://github.com/asimons04/tesseract/blob/main/src/lib/blacklists.ts but it hasn't been updated in over a month.
That’s a URL blacklist, not the username blacklist.
Dang, you're right, and the user list is deliberately hidden. I tried posting the code to view it, but for some reason my comment was rejected. :(
edit:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/asimons04/tesseract/master/static/data/policy.dat | base64 -d | gunzip | jq .
Currently shows 539 banned users and 2218 bannded user regexes.
Codeberg has the list
nice. there's a github repo that has it too, but seeing it directly from the source is a more honest, direct way to show people what is going on. the least hand-wavy way.
Edit: Acutally the link you posted is more stragithtforward than the GH one, showing the instructions on how to generate the list in the README.md. Very cool.

The list is unsorted, and I assume it grew organically. What's the flex now? Our position on the list?
What does it say about me when I'm one of the dbzer0 admins but I'm not on the list... 🫠
I'm not sure how the filtering is done, but your entire instance is blocked, so there may be no need for explicit user blocks. The ones that are there may be from before the instance block.
I have to be in, but I'm not gonna take the time to find out.
Just in case,
HEY TESSERACT GUY:
YOU A WHOLE ASS BITCH FR
If some of my past accounts are in there, can I request to be grandfathered in please?
I'm on this list! Gonna wear that like a badge of fucking honor. Fuck Nazis!
I humbly accept this award on behalf of the downtrodden people of our world and those who fight for them.

Hell yeah!

What's the $ mean, though? I usually have only a few of those in real life 🤷🏻
Looks like regex. The ^ means it must begin at the beginning of a line of text, and the $ signifies the end of the line. Putting the username between ^ and $ basically means it must be a perfect match with no extras on the end, so if someone had your username plus something extra on the end or with something in front of it, you won't get a false positive trying to match against your username.
So in other words, it's a (somewhat) thorough "fuck that guy in particular"?
I like that I've irked the censorious bastard enough for that 😄
Pretty much. I suppose the way it's written isn't a fuck you, but the fact it's on the list certainly is. The only way to get more specific is to include your instance. Technically, unless there's something I'm missing about the block list since I don't know much, this would match your username but on any instance, not just specifically you on Lemmy.dbzer0.com
