I didn’t make the cut either. 😭
post
I'm the admin of one of the blocked instances. Yay!
Only to find out your an innocent victim of the Scunthorpe problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem
Scun-thorpe if anyone is wondering, Also Penistone a place in England Cockburn a name in the UK And Middlesex and Sussex I might get put on a list 🤣
Lol now people need to hint to what slur is in the link so we can click it
@Theoriginalthon@lemmy.world knew this would happen
Are you saying that you are? In which case, what substring got you blocked? Only thing I can see is maybe "gina" which feels too weak
In all my years this might be the most dumb block list I have ever seen. A sample:

If you make a username "billionaire [ cock | dick ]" it won't be caught by the billionaire cock/dick filter. I find that amusing.
It's even dumber when you take a look at some of the RegEx use. Pretty amateur even for such simple patterns.
In with 115 comments. Weirdest flex.
I've got 5,800 and am not on the list. What the fuck?!
In with 35 at the time of it being revealed
Huh, just looked. I'm on it too. I rarely say anything, let alone political stuff
I thought I got pretty spicy when I was telling people they were being queerphobic but I guess not 😞
Your entire insurance is blocked if I’m not mistaken, so maybe you just didn’t get seen due to said block?
This is my 3,000 comment in a little under 3 years. Still not cool enough for the blocklist. ;_;
It seems like he blocked at lot of left wing and people who stood out, so all this means is you're like a nondescript nazi. Henchmen #62.
Good call, but aren't others able (especially instance admins) to see our subscriptions? I'm on some subs like 196 and some left party ones. And my home instance is .ml!!
3 years, 4077 comments (holy crap?!)
Not on it either!
Maybe I could've written like a whole book with all that effort though lol.
Link to the list? Now I'm curious . . .
Amateur. I've been on for 6.5 months and have nearly 6000 comments.
What the hell is a tesseract list?
Didn't they filter entire instances?
I'm on the list! I have so many people to thank, first trump, then god, then RFK jr's brain worm.
I guess I spent too much time up voting anime titties and not enough time supporting fully automated gay luxury space communism.
That's alright, Cowbee too isn't in the list.
3 yrs 2.1 k comments on this account and probably another thousand scattered between other accounts, and not a single one made the list :(
I’ll have to try harder for the next one, I guess.
Aaaw, I'm not in it either.
Is there an application form I can fill somewhere?
Perchance you should start measuring things in hamburger units, or express your distaste of paywalled articles, or how you want to remove all of the mild everyday annoyances from the reality because, you know, they mildly bug you. Or just talk about the proletariat.
...I dunno, I'm not on the list either because I don't talk about this stuff much, I guess.
If I ever need to show somebody what a cringe loser I am I will name something after a term from a classic work of sci-fi or fantasy — one where I clearly missed the meaning!
I routinely tell people to get fucked but didn't make the list. They must have more stringent criteria than just being rude.
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.
I’m on the list and the only “propaganda” I’ve spread is a willingness to end fascist lives, which hardly seems controversial to me. I mean, typically you shoot fascists, don’t you?
That stuff got me banned on reddit over several accounts. They are vicious.
Depends what you define as fascist? Who's the judge here? In the pre-elon twitter times people would call everything nazi/fascist that didn't match their opinion. Basically you are threatening to murder people for... opinions? Coming from a place without death penalty this is indeed concerning. Especially when targeted at a certain person. TBH be happy you got banned and not jailed.
‘It’s normal to throw people in jail for being willing to kill a fascist before they’ve done anything’ is really wild. That actually happens where you are? Someone just says they’d kill a fascist and they get locked up?
A fascist is a fascist, such a weird argument to have. Why do you have trouble identifying fascists? Pretty suspicious honestly.
Fascist according to Wikipedia, there that's the definition for you. There's not much room for misinterpretation.

You take that back. Beans and jeans with never not be funny
Edit: beans like four posts down my homepage, love to fucking see it
Those are rookie comment numbers!
On the bright side, surely .ML is banned so you catch an indirect inclusion.
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.
Only downside to me switching home instances is that this account isn't on it. My old one was in the top 100 though.
Honestly, I feel like I'm as far left as you can get but I'm not on the list. I've said some intense stuff on here and I'm not on it
