Extremist dev of the Tesseract front end for Lemmy coded in a secret blacklist full of thousands of users, communities, and instances. Further adding to the duplicity was that Instead of displaying a note that anything was banned, it returned a generic error message as if to make users think there was only a technical issue.
anything that might scare of the “normies” was considered bannable. Luigiposting for instance. That was the stated aim of the project to make it a safe-space for the most fragile group on the internet, the normies.
In addition to providing powerful tools for mods and admins, Tesseract is designed first and foremost for “normies”.
Can someone please explain in great detail what’s happening

How were the users identified and why am I on that list?
