lemmy is federated. this means two people on two different instances can talk to each other as if they were on the same instance.
multiple instances have websites they administer. these admins can install custom user interfaces to make it look/feel different from other instances. one of those custom interfaces is ātesseractā.
the lead developer for tesseract had a file obfuscated and hidden that has a list of communities, instances, and more importantly users. this list would hide/remove content from these communities, instances, and users based entirely on the whims of the lead developer. this means if you were reading my comment from one of these instances that uses tesseract, you wouldnāt see my comment because I am on the list.
the developer in question is @ptz@dubvee.org you can direct any questions to them about it.
@ptz@dubvee.org i am a socialist that hate rich people and condemn your daddy Trump, Epstein and all the crew for raping childrens, i already said fuck the rich? Fuck Israel too and Russia
And centrists donāt exist, Mr enlightened
TL;DR: add me on that shitty list i donāt want your users to see my comments and posts
Do yāall think it will work? Do i have to be more reactionary and maybe add a Kirk meme too?
To add to what others are saying, your instance does not support Tesseract anyway, though if you read your instance sidebar text it points to Photon & Alexandrite frontends as options if you wanted to change the way that Lemmy looks to you (and if you use a browser rather than 3rd-party app).
In short: front end (like, page design) dev added a line in code that would call home for a list of people and instances dev didnāt like so they wonāt appear on the front end to users. Badically a unwanted blacklist of users. Many got there for one reason or another. Some have no clue why.
Imagine upsetting someone so much they feel the need to write a rule to generically match your name and all names that remind them of you. Sounds like a great love story. Enemies to lovers.
My guess is when they have two in the list that match one regex they shorten the list by making a regex block.
So for some users Iāll bet it is to take care of things like
IIIlll vs lllIII showing up and realizing thatās regexa Le and hey letās just get any and all lengths of alternating Is and ls.
And then others are for like
DallasCowboys1985 vs DallasCowboys42069 where Iād bet they figured just do all DallasCowboys with numbers trailing.
Sifting through it it seems so e might be targeting one user with multiple similar accounts, but others are just totally ham-fisted dumb approaches like mine. Like I probably made the list and some other user āfoggyXYZā also did. And now āfoggy-sux-we-hate-himā is blocked too. š
Iām also on the regex list, but oddly I donāt have the trailing $, so if I made an account like, oDojan, thatād not be caught. Iām not alone in not having a $, but a lot of people do.

Say this
Youāll make his list.
I just submitted a PR adding my name to the blacklist
Nice
If you want something done rightā¦
Jokeās on you, the super double secret blocklist isnāt in the repo
Itās only a real shadowban if it comes from the asimons04 region of tesseract. Otherwise, itās just a sparkling ban.
Get out there and say something insanely polarizing, like, ākilling kids isnāt cool, yāall.ā
Perchance
What is this reference? I keep seeing it but I donāt have the context for it
Itās one of the blocked words, for some fucking reason.
My guess is that they have something against Perchance.org because itās an AI website
Perchance.
see here: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/mario-the-idea-vs-mario-the-man
Perchance š§ ššš„¹
Perchance was also censored? Lmao.
As well as the two finger crying emojis
You canāt just say perchance
And I wasnāt invited? Well I just NEVER! š¤
PSA: The Tesseract frontend includes a hardcoded hidden instance blacklist with all leftist and trans-friendly instances.

Aww, Iām not on the list. Is this a personal failing of mine? Am I just too agreeable?
just call out @ptz@dubvee.org and tell him heās a fascist shitlord that deserves to walk 5000 miles across a sea of Legos.
ā disagreeable
ā rude
ā advocating for violence

Maybe something cute about how itās nice that he died doing what he loved; public executions that children should be forced to watch.
Then again, itās been so long since he kirked the bucket, itās kind of nice to just let him remain an unimportant and forgotten thing of the past.
I see your little hunblebrag.
Never saw the list before. Damn. Someone doesnāt like the free marketplace of ideas.

Donāt you forget about me
I just realized thatās Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale in the background
Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale in the background, so hot right now.
I feel like Iāve seen this exact line every time this gets posted on Reddit
Damn sheās fine ā¦
You can see how Aaron Barrett built an entire career out of getting dumped by her.
The blocked me and everyone like me!
Foggy is blocked on the regex list. So no foggy1 or foggyfroggy or nutnin!
Imagine upsetting someone so much they feel the need to write a rule to generically match your name and all names that remind them of you. Sounds like a great love story. Enemies to lovers.
I wonder what earns a place on the regex list versus the other. Did we only medium piss him off?
Given some of the regexes are just like
^example.*$
And others are
^example[0-9]+$
My guess is when they have two in the list that match one regex they shorten the list by making a regex block.

Iām just wondering why Iām on the regex list. I guess leftist and trans is probably enough.
The regex list is to make sure any possible alt accounts on other instances are also caught
Iām also on the regex list, but oddly I donāt have the trailing $, so if I made an account like, oDojan, thatād not be caught. Iām not alone in not having a $, but a lot of people do.
Maybe f0ggy? You can always beat regex if you want it hard enough.
Iām on the list, but Iām not sure if itās on my own merits or because my username is similar to that of a controversial mod of another instance.
sounds like youāre a terrorist!
I can neither confirm nor deny any terror-related activities that I may or may not have engaged in now or at any time in the past.
Iām confused ;_;
Itās simple, @ptz@dubvee.org is a candy ass.
Thanks, since reading lemmy.blahaj.zoneās post on why they removed it, I understand both what is going on and your post, and it made me laugh
Itās like a badge of honour in any community that a mod/developer/etc can ban you from their community just for having an opinion.
I stand by what I say the people in charge in a majority of these places are snowflakes.
If someone is on the list do they get to bring a +1 to also get in too?
I think thatās too late, as Tesseract is now resting in peace. But if you want I can block you and a +1
