Both me and my violent website are on the list… I read his 10 ‘rules’, and they read like they were written by a person who doesn’t like to hear or see things outside of his own bubble.
From his own instance description: “The default UI for DubVee is called Tesseract and is developed by the admins of this instance. We no longer offer Lemmy-UI as the devs have decided to add a giant “donation” banner that cannot be disabled and puts words in the mouths of all instances regarding what content is acceptable.” (emphasis mine)
The audacity.
Yea but he didn’t get the alts.
Congrats! Also, stop gloating. ^.~
Wow just rubbing it in. How do I at people? Admiral Patrick@lemmyworld, do your job and put me on that list!
Me too
What in the iseraeli committed genocide i’m not on the list (╯°□°）╯︵
I’m on the list, I feel so validated. Nazis and zionists, fuck off
So did anyone figure out who was added to the list and why? I saw an account with total of 12 comments and no posts on it. The comments didn’t say anything remotely political. It bans both “Conservative” and “Communist” communities. It just looks like it was trying to ban politics as a whole and maybe used some silly bot detection algorithm to flag users?
Participating in trans spaces too, I think that’s why I’m on it
Could it be based on some subscriptions or maybe voting history on some posts?
I’m there, maybe this is some sort of an ARG and we get some flair beside pur usernames as a trophy?
He also used some broad range of keywords like perchance to put people on that list.
Lmfao “You can’t just say perchance”
Dammit! My ‘try to be kind and supportive’-arc has been WAY too succesfull, I’m not on it :( just a blanket ban association for being in the cool kids crowd (blahaj got instanceblocked)
My instance hosts anti-communism and drone-kill footage communities so I guess we got a pass by default.
lol, what did this person do to receive such hate? 😂
^ghosttree([0-9]+)?$On top of that, [0-9]+ matches one or more digits and ()? matches the contained token zero or one times, so the whole thing combines to zero or more digits, which is just [0-9]*. They’re even bad at regex.
Fucking up regex is a sacred tradition!
No it’s not
OK, this person nailed it on the first try. But besides them, I know nobody who didn’t fuck them up once or twice.
It’s a general approach to names with numbers at the end, the list is full of those. I’m almost more interested in the more specific patterns like
name(69)+, because was there an alt name6969 he wanted to block but an unrelated name67 he wanted to avoid?I know, and I suspect the name came up more than once. But if I implemented some kind of algorithm to add people to the list based on posting behaviour, I wouldn’t put in the effort to have it implement a regex for “this guy and whatever number they added”.
To me this looks like he wrote the list by hand. Which is even weirder.
I love how Lemmy’s biggest scandal to-date involves an open-source app for Lemmy.
Can’t get that on reddit.
Because they pulled the rug out from developers…sure…but that’s besides the point.
(Sent with Boost, Lemmy client for Android…because it was my favorite reddit client)
Is this the biggest scandal? The lemmygrad.ml, the lemmy.ml related ones seemed way bigger
RIP Apollo
Long live Voyager!
Aye!!!
Oh yeah honestly the rapidity with which this took hold and almost everybody agreed FUCK THAT GUY and started working towards a collective fix actually gives me a lot of faith in fedi. I’m kinda hoping this does open up more conversation about open and customizable sorting and filtering algorithms. I feel like there’s space in fedi for more complex and personalized algorithms like you see on mainstream social media but in a way that’s easy for the end user to pop open, examine, and tweak to their needs, and easy to apply templates that are clear about their intentions and publicly auditable.
See, actually, since there are technically multiple lists (this is the large one) and all of them are in files, it would be more correct to say “in the files”.
Aw. Didn’t get my name on there, but my communities sure are there.
“Moe” is in the regex. Buddy really don’t like weebs, huh.
I feel left out 😭😭😭
Well, clearly you’re not left out enough
I see what did there 😂
Everyone not on the list should be ashamed of themselves.
:(((((
