In light of the dev silently blacklisting blahaj.zone, many of its users and several other instances, we have removed tesseract from the available lemmy front ends we offer.

It really roils me because you seem to be one of the most level-headed people in the Fediverse. I love running across your comments in random threads because you always have something of value to add, and you write well, to boot.

As you said yourself, it's not the blocklist that's the issue it's that it's not documented, seems somewhat intentionally hidden (including the apps claim that blocked sites are "incompatible"), and so the people deploying it aren't even aware it's there and don't have the option to disable or change it to suit their needs. It's very, very sketchy behavior on the part of the developer.

I was peeking around on db0's post about it, and somebody mentioned that it's really bad code structure, too. Which is true, hard-coding lists is atrociously hostile to convention and clean habits. It would be like if a chef never washed their hands because they thought it added flavor.

[–] Zarobi@aussie.zone 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Hard coded lists are sometimes ok… but not for something that will change frequently like a ban list of websites

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I mean, in really really really small, personal projects, I suppose. But again with the handwashing/sanitation analogy... It's better to just wash your hands and make THAT the habit.

I feel attacked as someone who doesn't wash their hands, you should be less extremist!

So it's vibe coded?

[–] anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 3 weeks ago

No, it's spite coded.

Well said. Ada works hard to achieve a reasonable balance, and is vastly underappreciated.

Thanks, Ada.
