There's a popular frontend for Lemmy called "Tesseract". About a week ago the dev pushed an apparently malicious update with a block list which contains lots of leftist (as in even slightly left leaning) communities and users.
OP searched for and found his username in that block list.
The file OP searched in is "policy.json", which doesn't exist in the source code. The command pulls the content of the url decodes it from base64, unzips it and puts the content in policy.json. Which means the source code obfuscates the file by default.
(the only file called "policy" I could find in the source code is a .dat file which has the encoded data).
lol and they just closed sourced it.
are they breaking licensing laws now?
@ptz@dubvee.org if you're going to shit on the community, at least have the decency to stand by your work.
Apparently they just blocked whoever didn't agree with the devs, it's mainly leftists but there are some rightist too, they blocked the word "Enlightened centrist" so the devs are for sure enlightened centrists and blocked whoever isn't
