      cat abuseeee!!

      grep can take a list of files to search in, saves you a process call and some syscalls.

        Or they just love using the pipe operator cause it makes them feel like a real programmer. I honestly am so used to piping to grep I forget you can pass it file paths.

    We should award everyone on the list with a badge next to their username the same way new users show up with a chick next to theirs.

    (I am not currently on the list and I am slightly salty about it)

      It’s not computers, it’s the latest drama here in the Fediverse.

      Big frontend called Tessarect did a sneaky.

      They made a hidden shadow-ban list of instances, users, and phrases, keeping it secret from users and admins by not including it in the open source code and instead loading it at runtime, and added in there all non-centrist (instances, users, and phrases) they could think of. They also lied about it, by claiming it to be a technical issue, when any user looked for the banned instances from the front-end, instead of calling it what it is, a targeted exclusion.

      Essentially, hidden censorship, and sliminess.

      To the degree that some people, (like OP here), have taken it as a badge of honor, that they are among the ones banned by name, in that list.

      And some other people, are definitely not jealous.

              Which are only blocked if the admin specifically asks for them to be.

              In other words not hard-coded at all.

              PieFed is quite opinionated, and the instance picker even more so, but the “hard-coded” arguments have long since been debunked (though last I checked, without being acknowledged by those who initially spread the story).

              Also the flagship instance PieFed.social does block a lot, but that’s as different as an instance is from software. Btw Lemmy.ml rather famously blocks a lot of content as well.

              Whatever software you use, pick good instance admins that you feel reflect your values (or even self-host your own), and you’ll enjoy your experience on the Threadiverse much better than being at odds with them.

    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!

    I am both glad and sad I’m not on the list. UwU

    From the looks of the list, basically nobody I can recognize, the people behind the list ( if it wasn’t just the dev alone ) really has a hard on for a lot of people.

    Same thing for website as well. A lot of sites that have either some genAI features or are about genAI/genAI tools or are genAI slop coded to the extreme. Actually fine with that because fuck genAI. But also gumroad, bit(dot)ly, wixsite, ceilingsanddryliningsupplies(dot)co(dot)uk ( literally looks like a completely innocent businesses website ), another innocent looking store ( distinctive Chesterfields ( furniture ) ), linktree, google forms & gemeni, and a lot more are also on the list.

    The list feels all over the place and as nutty as can be.

      There’s a popular frontend for Lemmy called “Tesseract”. About a week ago the dev pushed an apparently malicious update with a block list which contains lots of leftist (as in even slightly left leaning) communities and users.

      OP searched for and found his username in that block list.

      The file OP searched in is “policy.json”, which doesn’t exist in the source code. The command pulls the content of the url decodes it from base64, unzips it and puts the content in policy.json. Which means the source code obfuscates the file by default.

      (the only file called “policy” I could find in the source code is a .dat file which has the encoded data).

        lots of leftist

        Apparently they just blocked whoever didn’t agree with the devs, it’s mainly leftists but there are some rightist too, they blocked the word “Enlightened centrist” so the devs are for sure enlightened centrists and blocked whoever isn’t

        The author explains himself here: https://lemmy.world/post/49817942.

        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.

          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.
