I had never even heard of it before this, but that dev has given me immense Lemmy street-cred now. I was on the list!!

MODERATORS
It's like if people took that thanos snap thing that subreddit did really seriously. People seem to actually care about whether they were saved or snapped.
That's what it looks like from my chair.
some might be that way, I'd say the majority of people are upset that thanos snapped at all. who gave him the right to snap? not me, that's for sure.
It's a four-dimensional hypercube, but that's not whats important right now.
I was going to make the same joke, but putting it in an Airplane/Naked Gun reference is perfect.
I dunno if you're lucky or not to see this drama right when joining. When I joined there were so many posts about beans.
When I joined it was just people upset over the death of third party reddit apps. I felt right at home.
You must've just missed the beans, because I was leaving reddit for the same reason.
Beans and denim baby, tough times!
No love for lamp?
Wasn't it also saddam hussein?
It's a dildo that opens a portal to a better timeline than the one we are subjected to.
It's an alternative front end for lemmy. Lots of instances that make alternative front ends available to their users offer it as an option
so it’s like a winamp skin for our losers-only internet?
Except it’s one of those lazy skins that’s just a jpg downloaded as the background and somehow it only lets you listen to Christian Rock.
The GitHub page links to a live demo page if you want to check it out. I even see your post on there!
But you won't see my comment! I'm regex blocked babyyyy
Luckyyyyyyy. I wish my mom would get me regex blocked, but she said we have block lists at home. I tried to tell her it’s not the same, but she just kept saying It’s all about who you know.
Its a clean looking UI but how do they ban you for using it? Are they monitoring your comments?
For me I like the Lemmy old UI, simple and compact.
They don’t ban you. The UI automatically hides certain instances, communities, users and posts. This is not officially documented and can’t be configured or turned off.
You can turn ‘toxic mode’ on and enable all the hidden posts, comments and users.
As far as I‘ve understood, „toxic mode“ only turns off some of the filters, not all.
Also:
- The dev‘s definition of toxic is far from my own
- Filtering belongs in the backend, not the fronted and should be configured by the instance admin and the individual user. We already have that in the form of moderation tools and blocks. If we wanted arbitrary third parties to dictate what we can see, we could have stayed on reddit.
What a shitty name for not blocking content.
It should also be the default.
There are some legitimate blocks in there to my understanding, the problem is they were/are mixed in with all the random "this hurts my feelings" blocks so it taints the whole thing
If there were opt in 'spammers' and 'trolls' lists it would be fine. The main problem is it being opt out and hidden, with it being a combination of those things plus 'people I don't like' being secondary.
It has more than just list of users, it also has random regex for message contents.
Toxic as defined by one person
Brittney is the only one allowed to define it.
Just checked and you’re on the list via regx
Most be new.
Ah now I understand, its filtering. I bet it doesn't warn you about that when you install it... *sigh
One more UI to ignore, thank you for the clarification.
One more UI to ignore
one MORE ui to ignore? what else happened?
I do not understand why everyone is using the name of the codebase "tesseract" - which is in conflict with the absolutely wonderful concept of a tesseract - that is a four dimensional hyper cube. Why shame this beautiful word instead of shaming the name of the developer behind the fuckup? Save the word tesseract and shame the dev behind the frontend instead. Anybody care to explain their frivolity?
Indeed. Tesseract is also the name of an open-source OCR library. When I first saw posts about Tesseract filtering things I was really confused.
Laughs in Lemmy Sync
Heads up: sometime after Lemmy v1.0 when legacy API support is dropped Sync will stop working. It already has several serious bugs that have been unfixed for like two years.
I switched to Summit a long time ago and couldn't be happier.
Aww man. I've been using sync too.
I used reddit sync originally and the creator saying "fuck you" to reddit, and that they were going to make one for lemmy, is his I even found out about it.
So did I, but eventually I couldn't live with the unfixed bugs anymore. And continuing to accept (quite expensive) paid subscriptions while not working on the app anymore left a bad taste in me too.
Didn't that get abandoned? I switched to Connect after Sync.
I've been using Boost since the abandoning.
The question is already answered, but if you are curious your instance sidebar says that the alternative front-ends that are available to you on it are: Photon, Alexandrite, Old (as in looks like old-Reddit), and Blorp. Tesseract is not one of them.
