Wait, wasn’t Tesseract a front end for mods to ignore problem users?
I’m on the list and I just assumed it was a “users who can be extra work to deal with”… type list.
But yeah, big reacts are never that great… And I can understand someone feeling targeted by online outrage.
The problem is that he added a secret, undocumented list that was only added when you were running the program that only he maintained.
If you were on an affected server, it gave an incompatible server message. If you were an affected user, it just hid you completely.
He went to extreme lengths to try and avoid this being discovered.
He seriously compromised the fundamental nature and trust of the entire activitypub project sphere.
Wow, what a cunt. Glad he rage quit.
He’s on his alts defending himself in the 3rd person. He came back last time evidently, he’ll come back this time, if he ever leaves that is
You know the turd is a lurkin and jerkin to his own image. People like this never fuck off.

nope, it was frontend for anyone/everyone.
If you were on the list then anyone using it never saw your posts. You were basically shadowbanned without knowing you were banned.

Ahh I see. Thanks.
Looks like it was pitched as an option that had "better moderation tools* that might have just become reddit style hide lists.

Better moderation tools sure sounds like tools for moderators and not shadowbanning people who criticize me.
