Hunches and gut feelings. Dreams in waking life.

I organize the Eurovision Song Contest, but exclusive to Lemmy, it’s called Lemmyvision !

Coucou tout le monde!

Petit post pour discuter ensemble des tenants et aboutissants de la loi adoptée par le Sénat et l’Assemblée Nationale hier, quelques liens pour celleux qui n’ont pas l’info:

Nos pouvoirs législatifs étant ce qu’ils sont, c’est évidemment très flou sur comment l’appliquer, qui est concerné, etc…

En fait je ne suis pas sûr que Lemmy en général sera impacté (de par sa nature décentralisée déjà, les utilisateurs peuvent s’inscrire sur une instance hébergée dans un pays qui ne reconnaît pas l’interdiction, et intéragir avec jlailu).

Il faut attendre les modalités d’application (Conseil d’État, CNIL?) pour en savoir plus, mais il est possible que, outre le fait que ça va être compliqué à mettre en oeuvre, nous passions également entre les mailles du filet selon la définition de réseaux sociaux par la loi (pas d’algorithme si c’est un critère, par exemple).

I discovered this after upgrading our instance yesterday, which also upgraded all frontends to their latest versions as well. After I did, our Tesseract frontend stopped working and I noticed immediately as it’s been my primary for a while. Initially I thought it was an API version mismatch, but no, it was much worse.

Someone pointed out that the developer of the frontend added an explicit hidden and unmodifiably blacklist which includes any and all instances to the left of Kissinger. There’s a commit which also explains their specious reasoning about our instance specifically, as it seems we’ve been on their shit list for a bit longer than that.

This instance and its admin staff encourages identity politics, groupthink, mob mentality, and extremist solutions to societal problems. Users who advocate violence are not moderated so long as the admins agree with the target. Caution and critical thinking are advised when interacting with this instance or its users.

When you use tesseract to connect to one blacklisted such instance , you just get a message informing you that Tesseract is “incompatible with that instance” which leads one to think of a technical issue, like an API mismatch, rather than the dev being an opinionated coward.

Isn’t it funny how all the software developed by turbolibs, like Piefed and Tesseract, end up with hidden control mechanisms from developers who think they know better than everyone else? That they don’t just think they deserve to tell you what you should think, but they should manipulate you to think it? Isn’t it funny how libs go on about how bad it is to support lemmy due to the ideology of the devs behind it, and yet lemmy has 0 opinions as a software? It does make one think…

Anyway, I forked - it as one does - and disabled the blacklist, but since this is a massively ideologically compromised software, I’ll doubt I’ll keep this frontend up after Lemmy 1.0. I think we’ll bring up mlmym again now that someone’s maintaining it again.

Hey everyone, first of all, thank you for participating, whether you organized with your community to submit a song, voted for your favourite, or just sent words of encouragement, it’s awesome to see the fediverse come together and share music!!
