None of this is in the source code. It’s downloaded at runtime from a file nobody has ever looked at.
diabolical, thanks for all your work with this
Yeahhhh, that’s pretty much malware at this point
absolutely is, true! they can change that file at any time to include anything they wanted
I looked at the block list and I’m not in it.
I think my conservative community gets filtered out though.
They didn’t block SatansMaggotyCumFart? Maybe your name is “straight” enough for them hahahaha
I think it’s mostly because I’m known for well-thought out contributions to the communities I post in.
Take my upvote, you deserve it for the sheer gall of this one.
I am very glad my coworkers can’t hear me laugh, would not want to explain why I laughed at this.
What’s so funny?
I mean, I can’t deny that the comments you post are well thought out, and are amazing at encouraging participation and engagement within the fediverse.
Wait I feel like you’re saying something without actually saying that thing.

I’d give you a pat on the back. Thank you for your continuing contributions!
That’s true, though I don’t expect bigots to take the time to think through many things like that lol
Name fits!

Is this that cesspit of a community which is basically just squatting the name out of petty spite
I love it!
I think I got banned from there
Some megamod mass banned me from a bunch of random communities which is annoying, basically reddit behaviour
Or… Tesseract behavior! Amirite?
Isn’t tesseract a frontend for lemmy?
Apparently a private, racist one
I’m on the list!!! Does that mean I’m not racist?

Some megamod mass banned me from a bunch of random communities which is annoying
Same.
Especially because from my instance, I can’t conveniently block communities that I’m banned from. The block button disappears when banned. I have to go into my settings and manually add the name of the community to my blocklist.
So, yeah, it’s pretty annoying when a community I’ve never even heard of before pops up in my feed and I’m already banned from it, so then I have to open up the manual block list settings…
I’ve been banned from unrelated communities for having an opinion one of their mods didn’t like. I’d understand if it was because I posted in that community. At this point people are banning me because my mod log has allegations of transphobia and stuff (the admin of my instance I believe is trans, we’ve discussed things, they’ve helped me speak about certain subjects in a gentle manner, I don’t have any ill will towards transgender people, it’s just terminology I used was seen as offensive) which is just a weird cycle of being banned because I have a “mark” on me from what was likely a misunderstanding or overzealous mod years ago, or me discussing things from a theological perspective and it wasn’t actually what I believed politically either.
I’ve (apparently) got on one power mod’s bad side just by downvoting a few of their AI slop posts.
Face it laddie, you’re part of the woke mob now.
I ain’t woke I sleep.
I don’t understand, what instance uses this? If they filter the listed words does that mean posts containing them won’t show? That would make conversations on Lemmy incoherent with gaps and wipe out probably 50% of the content?
it’s a frontend. like an app client, but used in a browser.
I’m still not clear <snip>Edit: nevermind, I see now. This thread helped.
Any instance can run any number of UI frontends. E.g. Lemmy.world offers a choice of several of them. Afaiu one can also run a frontend on their own computer or server and connect to an instance.
Dbzero seems to use Tesseract, which is how they discovered the problem originally, and have since forked it to remove filtering.
I made the list! I’m famous!
What an asshole
I wonder if im on the blocklist (I hope im important enough to be :3)
At least one of your alts did. Sad that I didnt make it ☹️
Damn 😔
Lemmy people try not to censor people you disagree with challenge (impossible)
I can’t believe I missed my chance at the mad mod ban list EGOT 😥
This meme is a work of art. I love this comm so much lol
I feel like I’m not in some super cool private group of people.
A lot of that domain list is real spam defence. It filters conservatism as well as communism. “It targets the left” doesn’t survive the data and I’m not going to pretend it does.
Based retraction. Credit where it’s due. (Not that you can read this, ironically).
