    I didn’t even know what Tesseract was

    I still don’t know.

    My searching tells me iTesseract is open source OCR software, but that doesn’t make sense in the context I’m seeing in these threads.

      This page might help, it explains what alternative UIs are and which ones are available. Some of them can also be used in the mobile web browser.

      https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/threadiverse/alternative-uis

      (It says tesseract is available on lemmy.ca, but that is out of date now)

      This issue with Tesseract affects anyone that was using it. So it is possible that someone did not see a comment or post you made, without knowing why they could not see it. Past that, it likely hasn’t affected you since you said you don’t use it :)

        Thanks so much for sharing this, I couldn’t find an actual screenshot of Tesseract anywhere what with Dubvee redirecting everything to a “goaway” picture.

        It sounds like I might not have known if I was using it or not, depending on how I accessed Lemmy.

          It’s extremely unlikely that you were using it without knowing. Though if you were you’d know now because reloading the page would load Lemmy-UI instead of Tesseract. They don’t look at all alike.

          edit:

          https://photon.lemmy.ca/ looks very similar to tesseract, if you want to see the difference.

        So if i use mobile exclusively via voyager app. Does that mean im not implicated in this mess?

        I have no idea what any of this means, technically. I understand and agree that some shadow ban black list blocking users is bad, and i dont want that, but i dont even know what people are being blocked from

          If you only ever use Voyager (or any other mobile app) you won’t be directly affected by this, other than that you might be on the block list and if so people using teseract wouldn’t ever be able to see your posts or comments.
