Tesseract is a web client for Lemmy that was found to be secretly and arbitrarily blocking users, communities and even entire instances. You can see if you're one of the kool kidz by running

curl -s https://tesseract.dubvee.org/tesseract/api/system/policy | base64 -d | gunzip > policy.json

and grepping your name / instance. Further details can be found in this post.

The poem above is adapted from Bertolt Brecht's The Burning of the Books, which can be read here. If you would rather read it in the original German, go here.

It makes no sense because some A+ comrades are not blocked but I am? It must be the veganism.

Edit: oh darn, another comment says it's likely because I have the same username on different instances. I thought that was the least shady way to do things?

Some of us don't know how to use computers and didn't realize how the fediverse worked at first 🥲

Same here and all if my accounts are easily regex-able so the hard coded blocks definitely have something to do w your ability to be received by the normies.
