It's A BIG Club & You Ain't In It! - George Carlin

Like apparently it's not "leftist" per se (or trans or furry etc.) so much as extremist rhetoric, or even instances turning a blind eye towards same, for the sake of mainstream normies coming here from Reddit.
It would be like blocking pretentious people, then vegetarians decrying unfair/biased treatment.
Note that many leftists are not blocked, like I strongly doubt that slrpnk.net would be, it's primarily the more "militant" varieties.

truly impressive how some people are always the victim even on open platforms they literally can own for free
Well yeah, people are changing frontends and warned others that Tesseract has that kind of blocklist and they don't support it. If people that used the tool didn't find out until now, it's mostly a communication issue from the dev. And to the user that knows none the wiser, opinions that they would've accessed if not for using Tesseract are essentialy not available. The option to turn it off is essentially hidden, and the user can't find out that information is being blocked (as seen by the reaction it caused in the threadiverse). It's censorship by omission of information. Even if they had good intentions, the way they went about it failed to communicate what the blocklist was about, and that information was being blocked in the first place.
It's also just kind of a silly thing to implement in a client. That's the perspective the memes are coming from. Usually, blocklists should be left to the instance administrators or users. The client should only easily allow such a list to be available.

I'm sorry you were blocked but this behavior isn't likely to change that

I don't really know if I was blocked nor do I really care. I'm just explaning why people were upset/making memes about it. It's shocking once one finds out about the blocklist, but kind of funny in retrospect.

it does not shock me at all that someone would make an effort to fix lemmys biggest problem

It is quite naive to think that nobody has thought of a sollution like that though. It was probably not implemented like that for a reason.

Yeah, if only someone could make a hidden block list so people like you can't interact with anyone.

uhhhh you're literally allowed to do that lmao

What's up my homies!
Yo, me too. But not MonkderDritte, so it's relatively recent.

So you should add me to your blocklist on your, what now seems to be closed source, UI @admiralpatrick@lemmy.world otherwise the "normies" might be exposed to my toxicity and violence. Chop chop, get to it!
Oh, but maybe tell the users that you have built in such a feature and let them decide on their own, it is generally considered toxic and dipshittery of the highest order to hide such things even from the admins and try to obfuscate it in the commits.
They're the first virus on Lemmy

I think we all appreciate @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com effort to address administrative and developer abuse, lemmy's biggest problem.

Dude is a grade A pussy. He can have his opinions and make his decisions but to close his eyes and cover his ears and go "lalala" is hilarious.

If I post trans memes monthly and study das kapital every day, will I make it to the list next year? I don't want to un-disappoint my parents!
Just call for guillotine usage. Worked for me.
