Tesseract includes some..."creative" definitions of extremism that will drive away "normies"

Number of stars on that repo fell faster than SpaceX stock value.

I thought that this network was supposed to be ban free as that's why people fled Reddit. Seems to be a lot of banning

Not ban-free, just easier to not care if you get banned by an idiot as you can make your own community with the same name on a different instance if you think a moderator is being dumb, and can move your account to a different instance if an admin is being dumb. If other people think you're doing a better job, then your new community will outgrow the older one.

With reddit, there's only one community with each name, one set of admins, and one way to access things, so if something like this incident happened there, anyone affected would be totally fucked.

After having a look at the user regex list: Dude should just use .* next time.

Not wrong, I didn't even know Lemmy had that many users lmao.

Not to mention all the archive domains and sites for removing paywalls. How is someone pro-paywall??

I took it to mean all the comments to posts that say nothing except like the singular word "paywalled", essentially blaming OP for not doing the work to set up an alternative option for them (which rises to a special height of irony when multiple such options exist in the post body that such commenters obviously did not read).

Edit: but here I was talking about the keyword "paywalled", although are you saying that archive sites are also filtered? The archive.is site has been caught altering the content of supposedly "archived" content, so that one in particular I could see being filtered for non-technical newbies who don't know that.

Archive sites as well as others like removepaywalls.

Oh wow that's a lot of them too. Thanks for sharing this list!:-)

No prob. Everyone should be aware of what they're getting if they use tesseract.

Hard agree - transparency is important.

Fortunately, this entire filter list can be turned off by the users at any time, for those who want a more unfiltered experience (although atm it's all-or-nothing iirc).

(Though reportedly the OTHER, smaller instance hard-coded list cannot be disabled now except by using db0's fork of the codebase.)

I really need you to know that my admiration of you has grown to actually picturing you as your pfp in my head complete with the explosion in the background

Hah while I'm delighted to hear that, please don't put me on a pedestal. I'm only human. 😅

That block list is an absolute fever dream and the post explaining the rationale sounds as toxic and vitriol-filled as anything it's claiming to protect the normies from. What a fucking mess.

Which post? Seems like a fun read :D

Ada can we enable downvotes on lemmy.blahaj.zone for 1 day so I can downvote this post? đŸ„ș

if you want to make a AN account just to downvote it, I will make sure you get approved 😂

"This isn't censorship. So anyway, here is why I'm doing censorship."

What a pathetic loser

Yeah, I found it eventually. This guy is insane.

Absolutely bonkers off his rocker. But we can have some fun with it. As a treat.

He now uses his dubvee account (https://feddit.org/u/ptz@dubvee.org) and replaced all of his pics with this.

You can't just say perchance!

https://github.com/asimons04/tesseract

Damn he deleted the Github repo. I wonder if he plans to host the code somewhere else or if this has become a de facto closed source project.

https://github.com/paulo-roger/tesseract

Didn't delete it. Just renamed it and rebased the git history to 2023 so that I can't sync any future changes to my fork and that my commits telling him to eat shit aren't visible in the repo diff

Would be funny to fork again lol

What a fucking asshole omg I’d rather they deleted it

(I should have forked it when I had the chance dangnagit)

You can fork from mine

Your fork is up to date as of yesterday before the rebase????

That's so petty what the hell.

Petty is the perfect description for this entire situation.

I couldn't find the user portion of the blocklist last night and now it's gone. I'll never know if I pissed off a neocon shitlib "moderate" now...

That's not the full list. There's a separate (and much longer) section of userRegexes to block people who use the same username on multiple instances.

Also, you are in the Users list on the file I downloaded. Not sure where you got the comment you pasted, but it's not accurate at all.

I credited who I got it from in my comment. Thanks!

At the surface level I understand where he's coming from and the motivation, but he's clearly gone off on the deep end here. Maybe just join and promote https://beehaw.org/?

wait is perchance actually one of the terms

https://bin.disroot.org/?74d13a8db046d859#2tEwviTK1THmM7da1VRNdTTX6hmLgPU5wuethGLfjQhW

Here's the full list

Also "goofed" for some reason?

That's actually a software they've blocked. No idea what it is though

Yes!

There is a mildly active community around perchance.org, an AI text and image generator. Perchance this is the subject of the ban?

How fuckin dare people engage with an active community

perchance

Banned 😠

LMAO waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

im dying loll whyyyyy hahaha

i mean you can't just ban perchance

You can't just say "perchance"

No fucking way, I have a feeling the dev is a schizo

Let’s not be ableist.

The dev is just a terrible person. They don’t seem to be aware of the “if you meet assholes all day” wisdom.

Yaaaay I finally made a list

Oh, and here I thought Tesseract was an OCR engine! Talk about unfortunate naming, on top of enforcing political views via software....

I’m assuming he doesn’t like my photography, which is why I’m explicitly called out on row 106. Otherwise, I’d have to think he doesn’t want to see Steve Bannon swing.

Otherwise, I’d have to think he doesn’t want to see Steve Bannon swing.

They don’t “tolerate violence!”

Unless it is fascist violence. That kind of violence is fine. But if you question, resist, or oppose fascist violence and demand accountability, then it is you who are the violent one!

However, I want to see Trump live until precisely January 21, ‘27, at 0:01.

After that, let the cholesterol take him, I just wanna rob couch fucker of an extra term.

I like your photography.

Banned! 😠

Thank you so much!

Thank you for sharing it with us.

The issue isn't even primarily the bundling of a personal blocklist with the software. It's that it's not only on by default, but actively obscured and throwing misleading errors to prevent users an admins from understanding what is happening.

Nah, the issue is people who after being clearly told to leave someone else alone, chose to escalate.

You know the blocklist is not obscured, it's clearly labeled with explanations in a public repo. You just want to be a victim.

It's just so glaringly obvious that none of you respect that "no means no". I'm not surprised that someone would put you all on a blocklist.

Then you'll gladly help me figure out why I'm on the list, because as far as I can tell, I never interacted with the person

no sorry

So it's not clearly labeled. Gotcha

no I don't think you do

Then block those people yourself instead of complaining about them.

good advice is there a ui i could use that does that automatically?

Do you consider queer people and minorities to be annoying?

No just folks that intentionally misconstrue words

But those people is what tesseract blocks. Without telling you about it

I don't suppose you have evidence to back up your claim?

Take a look into the block file

You’d have to use software made by a pathetic chud. So if you’re into that sort of self embarrassment, then I guess it’s fine?

yep it's fine

How embarrassing for you

Yes
