The question is already answered, but if you are curious your instance sidebar says that the alternative front-ends that are available to you on it are: Photon, Alexandrite, Old (as in looks like old-Reddit), and Blorp. Tesseract is not one of them.

Luckyyyyyyy. I wish my mom would get me regex blocked, but she said we have block lists at home. I tried to tell her it’s not the same, but she just kept saying It’s all about who you know.

I dunno if you're lucky or not to see this drama right when joining. When I joined there were so many posts about beans.

so it’s like a winamp skin for our losers-only internet?

Beans and denim baby, tough times!

Except it’s one of those lazy skins that’s just a jpg downloaded as the background and somehow it only lets you listen to Christian Rock.

I do not understand why everyone is using the name of the codebase "tesseract" - which is in conflict with the absolutely wonderful concept of a tesseract - that is a four dimensional hyper cube. Why shame this beautiful word instead of shaming the name of the developer behind the fuckup? Save the word tesseract and shame the dev behind the frontend instead. Anybody care to explain their frivolity?

It's a dildo that opens a portal to a better timeline than the one we are subjected to.

Brittney is the only one allowed to define it.

I've been using Boost since the abandoning.

It has more than just list of users, it also has random regex for message contents.

As far as I‘ve understood, „toxic mode“ only turns off some of the filters, not all.

Also:

• The dev‘s definition of toxic is far from my own
• Filtering belongs in the backend, not the fronted and should be configured by the instance admin and the individual user. We already have that in the form of moderation tools and blocks. If we wanted arbitrary third parties to dictate what we can see, we could have stayed on reddit.

Heads up: sometime after Lemmy v1.0 when legacy API support is dropped Sync will stop working. It already has several serious bugs that have been unfixed for like two years.

I switched to Summit a long time ago and couldn't be happier.

Indeed. Tesseract is also the name of an open-source OCR library. When I first saw posts about Tesseract filtering things I was really confused.

I had never even heard of it before this, but that dev has given me immense Lemmy street-cred now. I was on the list!!

Wasn't it also saddam hussein?

Aww man. I've been using sync too.

I used reddit sync originally and the creator saying "fuck you" to reddit, and that they were going to make one for lemmy, is his I even found out about it.

It's like if people took that thanos snap thing that subreddit did really seriously. People seem to actually care about whether they were saved or snapped.

That's what it looks like from my chair.
