    This account doesn’t seem to be on the list, but I’m fairly sure an alt might be. So… hooray, maybe.

  • I don’t think I’ve had any dealings with him, but I am on the list

    From what I gather, I should feel pretty pleased with that

  • I’m on the list, does this guy just like, have a little black book of people he hates? Like has this guy been reading all my posts or something? Or did he use a LLM to make it

      AFAIK it’s just him reading others’ comments and when he sees ones he dislikes, he says, “>:•( Well, you’re a poopyface, onto the Poopyface List with you!”

  • I’m on the list!

    I’m a literal nobody… Man, I’m so proud right now… 😁

  • What is going to be blocked, where is this thing running? Does it need to be installed on your instance

      • I think it only displays Potoooooooo some places (maybe only on .world?), but others still see the original name with which I created the account (ivanafterall).

      Some asshat I’ve never heard of created a api with a bunch of hidden blacklists of instances and users. I wasn’t in it and I’m kinda disappointed like many on lemmy. Seems like being on this dipshits shit lists is a nice place to be.

      • Jesus christ, even in a decentralized space people are trying to censor things for others without their knowledge.

        Hidden is a strong word; it’s a file named as such, in plain text, with a GUI button to disable it, and has a bunch of humor throughout. I’m not really sure what the big deal about it is honestly, I think it’s hilarious and harmless

        Edit: apparently I’m totally wrong and the version I saw was a decade fork, maybe? Not entirely sure but I’m sorry for spreading misinformation

        • not in plain text, it was base64+gzip encoded at the source url to thwart discovery

          very not harmless, hidden political censorship is not harmless

          and the dev is forcing it on server admins “users can disable the blocklist (if admins allow it), but there will be no server config option to have “toxic mode” (no blocklist mode) on by default”

  • I honestly don’t know how I made it on the list. I mostly just lurk and occasionally post memes about my cats. I’ll take it though, it’s a badge of honour.

    Well I woz gonna call me account “DaRedGobbo” but the git wot got dere first ain’t even revolushunary enough ta get blocked by the blockiest load of blocks wot ever did block!! Paffetik!

  • Unfortunately, all my lemmy accounts are not on the list, although, I do make a conscious effort to not engage with political issue here.
