This is amazing! ❤️

It is quite naive to think that nobody has thought of a sollution like that though. It was probably not implemented like that for a reason.

I don’t really know if I was blocked nor do I really care. I’m just explaning why people were upset/making memes about it. It’s shocking once one finds out about the blocklist, but kind of funny in retrospect.

Well yeah, people are changing frontends and warned others that Tesseract has that kind of blocklist and they don’t support it. If people that used the tool didn’t find out until now, it’s mostly a communication issue from the dev. And to the user that knows none the wiser, opinions that they would’ve accessed if not for using Tesseract are essentialy not available. The option to turn it off is essentially hidden, and the user can’t find out that information is being blocked (as seen by the reaction it caused in the threadiverse). It’s censorship by omission of information. Even if they had good intentions, the way they went about it failed to communicate what the blocklist was about, and that information was being blocked in the first place.

It’s also just kind of a silly thing to implement in a client. That’s the perspective the memes are coming from. Usually, blocklists should be left to the instance administrators or users. The client should only easily allow such a list to be available.

That’s not the issue. Admins running the UI and other users didn’t know this was in it.

I could run that on my laptop 😎

(barely…)

The paragraph relating to the middle class was really well put! I had an argument with a relative on how owning stuff (talking about private property, in this case, landlords) is a way to not only allow some to extract from others, but gives the illusion that the workers are able to escape their plight whilst in the capitalist system.

I miss bone hurting juice

Naw the sky cannot turn yellow when I have a cough 😭

Add me too!

What did you mean by that?

Shouldn’t have scrolled while drinking now it’s all over the place

Hesitating on staying hydrated…

Strangely enough, antidepressants help for being able to actually feel hungry.

Because they all have Lemmy accounts, of course?

Naw I’m just gonna show this convo to my brothers and sisters who have dealt with generations of trauma due to American policies lmfao this is crazy.

Whitewashing US crimes is very tolerant, apparently.

And when you compared the atrocities comited, it doesn’t even scale close to everything the US has done and is currently doing.

Also tell me who’s the one that profits from the slavery in Saudi-Arabia and supports it fully?

You seriously think I just considered what the US did without comparing it to the other countries you mentioned?

You people are seriously disgusting. No wonder minorities don’t feel safe in the Fediverse.

Go tell that to the black people living there that have been brutalized for generations. Or maybe to people living in countries that was destabilized by it. This pales in comparison to the contries you named, combined.

Hell, go see what they did in North Korea during the war.

Edit: And how could I forget. Go tell that to the indigenous
