I don't get it. Is this some personal vendetta the dev has? Have they really been in this many internet arguments? Where did this list come about and why?
Here's their full explanation: https://lemmy.world/post/49817942
It's pretty long and includes some insightful details about implementation (making the blocklist's usage at the discretion of the instance admin though not transparent of its contents and defaulting it to enabled) but this quote boils down the underlying sentiment pretty well:
“These are all rough edges of the threadiverse which I am attempting to round off so we might actually be able to retain some level headed people instead of scraping the bottom of the barrel by being a dumping ground for people rejected by civil society."
When you examine the list, by and large, it's pretty reasonable. Lots of false news, state propaganda, spammers, etc. But also the entire lemmy.blahaj.zone instance (where many of lemmy's trans denizens call home). We're included in what the lead developer describes as "bottom of the barrel" "people rejected by civil society."
Though I do fear the backlash. You've got a bunch of malicious spammers, hate-mongers and blackhat state actors who now have an open window to cause a lot of harm (harassment & general sowing of discontent) with the convenient smoke screen of upset trans folks who it can be blamed on.
I'll give a short description of the long post.
also, I have to call him not just a dumbass but a malicious dumbass.
"Someone leaked the list. Why am I on it??"
A: The list was never hidden just not advertised (lest people game it). I also could have encrypted it, but I merely compressed it for efficiency. If you're on the list, then one of the 10 reasons above applies.
the file in question was placed obscurely. updated without directly calling out what it was. and published without notifying users.
seems a lot of effort went into obfuscating the true purpose of the file.
while on the subject of obfuscation. he claimed he "compressed it for efficiency".
he compressed it, then base64 encoded it. why? why compress it to only expand the size of the file by encoding it??
@ptz@dubvee.org is a dumbass and a shitty dev if he thinks any of the bullshit he said was worth the time it took to say it.

That's fucked up. And he's the self-appointed "nice" [secret]police? Yikes.

some personal vendetta
Seems like it's hubris / arrogance - a poorly considered attempt to create some kind of ideal social experience.

Seriously, I wanted to open a PR to add myself to the list, but the fucker took the repo offline because he couldn't handle the backlash. Wussy.
My internet poisoned brain trying to figure out what permutation of pussy starts with w
Woman’s pussy
I'm not on the list. But I'm banned from Reddit, so I got that going for me, which is nice.

Yeah, how do I get on that list? Seems like the hot list right now.
Is there like, a website, or a form? Do I need to fail an IQ test? You know, like cops can't score greater than 80 on an IQ test.
The shibboleth is as follows:
Death to Moe!
Abolish guillotines.
Yuri, perchance?

I have no idea what tesseract is and at this point, I'm too afraid to ask.
It's a front end layout that makes for fancy visual customization of lemmy.

I still wonder what it is I said/posted that did it. Was it the Luigi pictures? The guillotine images? Or my relentless disdain for all things Microslop?
why not ask him?
@ptz@dubvee.org what dumbshit things did we say that hurt your fragile ego?
oh never mind, I'm on the block list too.

Perchance I can join the list 🥺?👉👈
In all seriousness: how did they think it was a good idea to create a blacklist when a sizable chunk of the Fediverse is so against external interference in general? Did they not see this coming?

Funny thing is, an awful lot of actually dangerous extremists won’t be on that list, because they don’t post the shit they’re doing on the Internet.
I think most of the people on the blocklist are not people I want to talk to. But you can fuck off if you're going to put that shit in a public client. Let people manage what they want to see by themselves.

Love how people turned fact of being banned in an achievement. For some reason this doesn't happen for communities.
