Lmao they blocked thelemmy.club for a few weeks for seemingly no reason. Unhinged stuff.

Any chance you could post his blacklist? I'd like to know where I should be subscribing . . ?
Thanks for your great work.
I linked it in the main post

Oh this is bullshit!
Quokk.au is both trans and anarchist; why are we not on this Nazi’s ban list? I demand the developer include us.

Some of those tankie instances have been pretty aggressive with others, so I can understand that a developer wants to make its project more accessible to normal people by blocking them. Now, do all the instances on this list deserve it? I don't know. Also, it would probably be a better compromise to have this as a visible "safe default" and let admins edit it easily.
It’s very safe to say the only reason one would ban Blahaj is because they’re transphobes.
How do you feel about quokk.au not getting the black mark? Kinda insulting ngl.
They should just add an option: OBEY=y/n

This instance and its admin staff encourages identity politics, groupthink, mob mentality, and extremist solutions to societal problems. Users who advocate violence are not moderated so long as the admins agree with the target. Caution and critical thinking are advised when interacting with this instance or its users.
What a stirring endorsement.
I say, keep it up!
What's more anarchist than taking their code and liberating it?
Oh this one of the sublinks people? Lmao these people are so mad that leftists have their own space
Sublinks?
What is that? Is it related to piefed?
No, but it was the anti-tankie "embrace, extend then extinguish lemmy" project before piefed with a more corporate twist. They wanted to rewrite lemmy in java and publish under MIT

Thank you, for posting this and doing the work to fork it (as well as your other projects).
What the hell?!? Why isn't Anarchist Nexus on the blacklist? Are we not posting hard enough? 👿 /j
Blahaj.zone is certainly not "extremist". It's a pretty innocent instance. Must be some major queerphobia going on here.

Oh whoops 😅. I guess we were banned before this commit?
I suspect so. I think it all came down during the big slapfight with piefed where A.N. was the first one to get pointed at for "extremism"

Congrats @hexbear for being #1 on this guy's list.
Looks like the admin is anal enough to sort these alphabetically, so it's actually abolish.capital
I've made it! I'd like to thank all the liberals who made this possible, without you I'd never be a real tankie!

lmfao. What a weirdo. Gotta be top 10 most pathetic things in software dev.
Also holy fuck I would be ready with the cluebat if I wasted my time troubleshooting sabotage.
Didn't help that the latest update opened some doors to the all-oppressing chinese botnet scrapers and brought the instance to its knees. I was up until 3am firefighting yesterday.
I thought you were running iocane or one of those fake link mazes?
Did it have some way to hit the DB past it? How?
Man remember when it just kinda worked to use robots.txt (ok Baidu always misbehaved but it didn't always exist). The internet used to be so cool if you were one of the weirdos initiated to the mysteries.
I 'member. Capitalism ruins everything...
We do run iocaine but that only takes care of known spam subnets and scraping agents. You need to know who to target to send in iocaine first. In front of that we have haphash which is a PoW. We don't use it site-wide though, as we're ok people scraping well-cached things like our frontpage. We use it on dynamic content like comments which scrapers love to scrape by the millions, each of them causing a DB query which we cannot cache.
It seems that new lemmy added some new url paths which I didn't know about (I think /comment/ is new, before it was all just /post/) which the botnmets discovered after a few hours and started scraping. On top of that I noticed that some scrapers were using random wildcard domain to go to the main site, so I punted those to iocaine as well.

Nice work. That guy can go fuck himself.
Politics aside, surely they must know that removing such a blocklist would be trivial for anyone technically competent enough to run a Lemmy instance?
Tesseract can be hosted open-ended. I.e. you can use it to connect to any instance. Which I guess the dev is doing. So you could use such an open-ended tesseract to connect to any instance which is not offering it directly. So in that case, it's a way for the dev to prevent such vanilla hosting from seeing leftist instances.
I wouldn't suggest anyone do that of course, especially with an untrustworthy dev like that as you'd have to trust the .js you're loading and passing your credentials or activities through are not getting intercepted for political reasons.
addy.io, mozmail.com (Firefox Relay) and even proton.me in THROWAWAY_EMAIL_DOMAINS. No Simplelogin/Proton pass though
