I am on that list for some reason. I have no idea what Tesseract is, I have no interest in Tesseract or its creator and I don't give a shit about any of this.

But when it was brought to my attention that I am on this rando's shit list, I took a minute to go to his community - hosted on his own instance apparently - and left a comment on his thread about the blacklist to tell him he's just not that important. And now I'm banned from his instance altogether apparently.

And you know what? Strangely enough, I still don't give a shit 🙂

But I will say this: what a sad, empty life this poor man must lead to feel the need to curate a Fediverse blacklist.

    I was looking forward to reading it but I'm only getting "Not found."

    Am I the only one or did it just go down?

    Man, I agree with your comment you left there; he needs to get over himself.

    While I didn't read his whole rant, I read a good bit of it. He does have a point, in that he's not obliged to accommodate users, and nor are we obliged to use his client.

    This is basically history repeating itself again with the Beehaw defederation. Fitting with the motifs associated with history repeating itself, the repeat is a temu knock off of the original.

    In both cases it seems pretty immature, at least in approach, but structure isn't necessarily bad and it's a big ocean.

    I've been around the fediverse longer than the age of my account would suggest, but I missed the drama around Beehaw somehow - what was the story there?

    I do not forgive you. Everyone should be talking about the things I find interesting, and/or setting me up to make lame, tasteless jokes.

    Okay, not to be weird, but I looked at your history to see what you find interesting and contribute but...

    "Man dies after being shot by Madison Police Department officer"
    "Student pilot successfully lands plane after instructor jumps to death mid-flight"

    I don't want to talk about your things :(

    I just happened to stumble on to those and then notice no one has posted them here yet. I also like drinking cough syrup too transform into a pirate, and ghost alien robots.

    It was on an old webcomic. I think it was Any Day Happy Day.

    There are so many ways to do it. You have an alien robot who dies, then comes back as a ghost. Or an Alien Ghost in the Machine. Or a ghost alien has sex with a robot and their child is half ghost alien, half robot. Or an alien... fuck, I'm getting dizzy. Need to go huff more cough medicine.

    Idk, but when I do something and my number for that thing gets big it helps me forget what a failure I am for a few seconds. So it works the same as reddit karma.

    I really appreciate it. I'll probably just sell it for drugs, though.

    Then what makes you such a failure, in your mind? If you want to share, of course.

    ADHD and a primary coping mechanism of avoidance, which can lead to not opening mail because it might be something bad and then feeling awful about it endlessly. Not just the mail, but the mountain of things that should be tiny that seem to build up every few hours until I eat a but of chemicals, forget it all exists, and sometimes think I'm a crocodile for a few hours or get lost in an endless series of corridors in my shower because I turned the light off and got turned around.

    Just the usual.

    Oh, that? 🙃

    Hey, you having ADHD and avoidance issues isn't your fault.

    I can relate. When things pile up, I can easily become apathetic and fold into a spiral of not wanting to deal with shit, which leads to nothing getting done and the pile growing.

    What helps me is making lists. Lists of things to do. One big list of everything I need to remember. Every day I drag stuff to the "today" list, where I do only those things today, that are either the most pressing, or the easiest to do. That way I get some dopamine from doing easy chores, to have a running start into doing something more intense like paying bills or contacting someone on the phone perhaps.

    I even add stuff like "take a shower", or "eat breakfast", sometimes. It feels like I accomplished something, and the good hit of checking something off the list helps you feel productive, even it's an everyday thing. It gives you motivation to keep going, and checking off more shit.

    I hope this might be a tool you can use. It also helps in keeping track of what I was supposed to do, because I forget so quickly and easily. I could have something important to remember to do, and if I don't write it down within sometimes ten seconds, it'll be gone. It's happened.

    Anyway, have a good day today!

    The issue isn't who or what was on the list, the issue is that the list was hidden. One of the biggest issues with Reddit is that they can censor people they disagree with even against the will of the users. Tesseract was doing exactly that on a platform specifically designed to prevent it.

    Sure, different instances can have their own block lists, and users need to find one that works for them, but those are all clearly listed. This one was hidden, causing people who thought they were getting all the information available to them on this platform to instead be getting a tailored list of only what information was deemed acceptable by some person they don't even know. It's a major problem.

    I'd have assumed someone with an @bookworm type server thinger would have picked up on the subtle subtext of beating a dead horse. Of course, maybe you did but were all like "Nah, fuck that, this bitch ass horse deserve some more beatin' on."

    Never assume anyone understands anything - if there's something important people need to know, shout it from the rooftops until everyone in the world can recite it in their sleep, and even then don't assume they've truly understood it.

    There's no such thing as beating a dead horse on important topics. Not to mention that the thing that's getting beaten is the "I'm on the list lol!" crap - there's been far too little discussion about the censorship issue itself.

    I'm just so tired, man. Such a fucking reddit-esque drama it is. Bunch of dudes getting obnoxiously excited about a nothingburger, repeating over and over how it feels great to be on some list and that they sooo don't give a fuck about it. They less they give a fuck, the more they post about it.

    Look here, kid. We both never heard of tesseract before. I've never heard of you before. You're just a username to me. I don't give a fuck you yield a search result on some fucking github repo.

    You're not even real people, just random sentences and voices in my head. Sometimes you get too quiet to hear so I have to hold this black mirror up to my eyes to see what you're saying.
