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.

        He seems in complete denial about the lack of transparency

        That’s a bit cryptic, but I wasn’t really hiding that Tesseract had decided to do things differently from here on out.

        while at the same time admitting doing stuff that will obviously have the effect of avoiding eyes on the full extent of it

        A: No. The filtering is disarmed completely for admins and for mods in their communities.

        There’s even a “you meddling kids” trope line in there

        And might I add that not one person complained until db0 went internet Karen with his hissy fit

        All in all a very entertaining read
