Edit: For context, @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com discovered that the developer of Tesseract had discretely banned numerous instances and disguised it as a server error. This included more heavily leftist instances, but also blahaj.zone. More recently, it was discovered that they had also been suppressing individual users, phrases, and communities that criticize power tripping on fedi.

Needless to say, I implore non blahaj.zone users to drop the Tesseract client (support for the client has already been dropped for blahaj). So called “liberals” like this who call out “extremism on both sides” are an insult to the values they claim to be upholding.

    The dev has such a grudge that not only will they block instances, but doubly ban specific users. Like a “eff this person in particular.” They apparently blacklist linktr.ee links? And “🥺?👉👈”. Like there’s actual bots and spam but posts with “Hi, I’m an AI engineer based in Japan” are blacklisted.
