Line 1312! ACAB babayyyyy!!!
I’m truly honored
damn… EWJ, those were the days
I think i made it on? The lack of a number trips me up.
Pretty sure that’s regex, so yeah, you’re kinda on the list. If you made a new account with a different number on the end, you’d still trigger the block. If it ended with $ on top of starting with ^, though, then it would need to be an exact match.
The list is unsorted, and I assume it grew organically. What’s the flex now? Our position on the list?
the regexes are alphabetical, and I think being on the regex is a higher award because anyone containing your user in their user gets blacklisted
I asked nicely and I got added!!
Where can in find this list?
The one I saw is at https://github.com/asimons04/tesseract/blob/main/src/lib/blacklists.ts but it hasn’t been updated in over a month.
That’s a URL blacklist, not the username blacklist.
Dang, you’re right, and the user list is deliberately hidden. I tried posting the code to view it, but for some reason my comment was rejected. :(
edit:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/asimons04/tesseract/master/static/data/policy.dat | base64 -d | gunzip | jq .
Currently shows 539 banned users and 2218 bannded user regexes.
nice. there’s a github repo that has it too, but seeing it directly from the source is a more honest, direct way to show people what is going on. the least hand-wavy way.
Edit: Acutally the link you posted is more stragithtforward than the GH one, showing the instructions on how to generate the list in the README.md. Very cool.
I have to be in, but I’m not gonna take the time to find out.
Just in case,
HEY TESSERACT GUY:
YOU A WHOLE ASS BITCH FR
I’m not worthy enough — I swap accounts faster than you can blocklist me.
😎
Hell yeah!
What’s the $ mean, though? I usually have only a few of those in real life 🤷🏻
Looks like regex. The ^ means it must begin at the beginning of a line of text, and the $ signifies the end of the line. Putting the username between ^ and $ basically means it must be a perfect match with no extras on the end, so if someone had your username plus something extra on the end or with something in front of it, you won’t get a false positive trying to match against your username.
So in other words, it’s a (somewhat) thorough “fuck that guy in particular”?
I like that I’ve irked the censorious bastard enough for that 😄
Pretty much. I suppose the way it’s written isn’t a fuck you, but the fact it’s on the list certainly is. The only way to get more specific is to include your instance. Technically, unless there’s something I’m missing about the block list since I don’t know much, this would match your username but on any instance, not just specifically you on Lemmy.dbzer0.com
That’s the thing, though: though I only use the other two when dbzer0 is glitching and I can’t wait, I have 3 accounts, they’re all called Viking_Hippie, and as far as I know, they’re the ONLY accounts on Lemmy called Viking_Hippie 😄
I’m not on the list…
I humbly accept this award on behalf of the downtrodden people of our world and those who fight for them.
I’m on this list! Gonna wear that like a badge of fucking honor. Fuck Nazis!
I’m also in! Oh happy day!
