I have a short explainer here, with links. https://lemmy.world/comment/24932006

If you are on the list, it’s a sign that you probably aren’t a horrible person. Keep up the good work, comrade.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 23 points 14 hours ago

I’m kinda sad that I’m not on the list. I guess I need to up my anti-fash game.

[–] CorrectAlias@piefed.blahaj.zone 16 points 13 hours ago

My whole instance is on the list 😁

[–] Blibly@lemmy.world 8 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Very proud of being on that list thank you very much

[–] kata1yst@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago

I really wish I knew what I posted to make the list, seems a good litmus test for my future posting...

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 14 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Thanks for your explainer. Gotta love how fragile small communities are.

Look mom Im famous! :-D

[–] phoenixarise@lemmy.world 10 points 12 hours ago

Haha he actually posted each user that he has a problem with. Peak dork.

[–] Captainautism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 hours ago

It’s SO STUPID!

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 5 points 14 hours ago

I'm doing my part!

[–] Zonetrooper@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Something weird is going on with that link too. I can't see any comments, even when I try to show all comments.

[–] tburkhol@slrpnk.net 1 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Does anyone know if this is a widely used app? All the stats I see on github or lemmyapps make it look very small.

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 hours ago

Here are the stats from our last census

https://fedecan.ca/en/announcements/2026-04-03_censusResults#_3-1-08-when-using-the-instance-through-a-web-browser-which-interfaces-do-you-use

Blorp was brand new at the time, and it has likely moved up in popularity since then

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 8 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

It’s a web frontend that has been deployed to a large number of instances.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 8 points 12 hours ago

And now it's being very rapidly undeployed

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 1 points 3 hours ago

How am I not on it? I literally mod !twnw@fedia.io and it's just about taxing the rich and billionaires. Guess I need to be more active there.

looks at list

I'm not, and lemmy.today isn't either, but litter.catbox.moe is listed, and that seems like a bad idea.

Catbox.moe is a popular free place to host files shared by users here, things like video clips, as it has permissive policy on things like filesize compared to the image-rs setup on a lot of Lemmy instances. Litter is for files where the poster only needs them to have a short lifespan, lets catbox.moe delete them and free up space (and also has a somewhat-larger filesize cap).

Maybe if someone just didn't like catbox.moe at all


which I don't agree with, but okay, at least I get that some people are going to object to some content on a filehosting server where anyone can post whatever they want. But blacklisting litter.catbox.moe but not blacklisting catbox.moe seems bizarre. In terms of content policy, the two are the same.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 10 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

Also, *.itch.io is on there. That's a popular site for hosting and selling indie games. Seems like an odd thing to blacklist.

There are some pornographic games on itch.io, and maybe the list publisher has an issue with that, but nexusmods.com and loverslab.com and a number of other major mod sites that host pornographic mods are not on there.

All communities ending in "Moe" are blocked, so that's presumably aimed at stopping sexed-up underage manga stuff.

Politically, a lot of auth-left (tankie) stuff is on there, but so is conservative stuff, communist stuff, libertarian (probably right-libertarian), and anarchist stuff.

4chan is blocked.

The (controversial) archive.today family of sites, which are mostly used to bypass paywalls, is blocked.

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 1 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

And all of it under a hidden "advanced" setting you only get to by clicking on a question about why content seems to be missing (which you would never know because it does so silently and invisibly)... To enable "Toxic Mode".

It's one of those things where this could have been done fairly well, by educating users about it... Instead great pains were taken to hide it, make it invisible, and if they were caught have a hidden toggle no one would notice but they could point to as an excuse.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Makes sense to me. You don't want your content to disappear after a week.

[–] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 5 points 13 hours ago

Well, my old ID from a now-closed instance is there. I'm apparently in with the cool kids for once.

[–] arcterus@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 13 hours ago

Lmao beyond the instance/user bans, I just noticed the shitty community regex bans include GirlsFrontline for some reason. Looking at it, it's seemingly pretty much empty too.

[–] greatwhitebuffalo41@slrpnk.net 1 points 9 hours ago

Well I guess I need to up my game, not on the list lol

It's not this app, I think it's a Moderation tool for servers and admins though I might be wrong.

Edit: apparently I did the one switcheroo and you are right, it is the Lemmy frontend you linked.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 14 points 12 hours ago

Nope. It's literally the front end. That's why everyone is so pissed off. It's hidden secret policing. It's like fucking outlook deciding you shouldn't get emails from your Queer friends any more so it /dev/nulls them without even telling you they ever existed.

They saw something free and human and decided it needed to be caged and twisted to their personal preferences

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 13 hours ago

You are wrong, it is that app!

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 3 points 14 hours ago

User interface

[–] lena@gregtech.eu 2 points 14 hours ago

it is tesseract

[–] Fishy@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

I seem to be on it and I’m supposed to be happy?

If what I’ve written here is enough to get on the list, very little is needed it seems.

[–] Blibly@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

Fascists are quite easily offended. The little snowflake fucks

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

And I’m not.

Gotta up my game.

[–] stumu415@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

As Jericho used to say 'You just made the list'. It's better than a Reddit award.

To be fair, Tesseract users apparently never had to deal with any of my bullshit, so I guess it’s not a total loss for them.

[–] sudoMakeUser@sh.itjust.works 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

What is Tesseract? The only thing I can find online is for Tesseract OCR. I assume it's some sort of Lemmy frontend?

[–] asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev 1 points 13 hours ago

yes, it was a pretty good frontend before the project died.

[–] rimu@piefed.social 1 points 12 hours ago

FYI it looks like today's edition of this saga is mostly at https://lemmy.world/post/49851193
