Whatever I did, I wish I did it harder.
The main thing this has taught me is that I am too bland.
i tell myself that i was only spared because blahaj.zone is already instance banned
Blahaj.zone is where like half of all good content comes from.
I didn’t make the ban list, do I even matter?
It’s okay, we all start somewhere. I believe you can make it onto that list, but you need to believe in yourself too.
What is going on and how can I help? (Some innuendo.)
But seriously what is this tesseract thing that’s popping up in my feed?
I had to Google it. I’m not in the ban list either. :(
What’s this Dev’s username? I want to DM them “trans rights are human rights” until I make the list.
Federation has always been a double edged sword. It makes total absolute censorship impossible, but also enables niche censorship like this.
Something special about this case is it’s not an instance censoring but the frontend itself. No one likes when basic infrastructure starts blocking things from you without even telling you.
Like this is literally what instances are for. If he just made a Tesseract instance with his block list and set that as the default for his “normie” target audience, I doubt anyone would have batted an eye.
Subterfuge*
Being an anarchist, earns you lots of subterfuges from saboteurs, inadvertent & intentional.
