Alright, kiddos. It’s time to… Kick! That! Beehive!
You may or may not have been following the recent drama involving the Tesseract Lemmy UI. Much hilarity has ensued. I will spare you the synopsis.
What this has to do with 3D printing is, I naturally took it upon myself to run with the suggestion and design an award for anyone cool enough to be on the Tesseract secret ban list.

A physical award, mind you.
You can download it from Printables here.
I included the FreeCAD source file also, which alas includes some rather heavy duty prerendered text for the front part, but perhaps you can mess with it as you see fit anyhow. I realized belatedly I was probably unconsciously inspired quite a bit by that old “winners don’t do drugs” seal that used to appear on arcade machines back in the day. I kind of like the vibe, though, so I’m sticking with it. It’s got wings, a hang tab to dangle it off of a lanyard or zipper pull, it’s got it all.
I would be remiss if I did not mention for them as do not own or have access to a 3D printer that I am also selling these already printed on my shop, under the perhaps misguided assumption that I will neither get crucified here for my crass commercialism nor go broke on postage mailing them out.
I love how a terrible event perpetrated by someone trusted to not inflict prejudice or harm on the community has actually seemed to bring everyone together in a huge meta event.
This is why I’m here. And I need to do better to make the cool (ban) list.
I think it’s the sheer size of the list that makes it comical. It’s hard to feel personally targeted when the dude had half of Lemmy blocked.
Yeah, especially since it included a lot of the more well liked users and communities
I’d make it my profile avatar if I were in there under this name, but it was my prior account which I lost when my instance recently closed down. So if I do it on this account, I’ll probably have to deal with “stolen valor” accusations.
*sigh* I was this close to greatness…
Thank you, I deserve this.
You even made the regex list.
I was bummed out that I didn’t make the personal ban, but only the regex. But I guess that’s even cooler.
I figured the regex was more all encompassing but it does seem like there’s some debate about which list is better to be on.
I vote for mine. It’s clearly superior, despite me being on it!
Im on it! so proud!
Me too, apparently.
I am on the list and am mortified! I am not an extremist and believe in free speech and liberty and normal voting processes. My views mostly align with Northern European liberal political view. How the fucking hell am I on this horrible list? What in the fuck did I do? Fuck these assholes in all their holes for saying this shit about me. I am nice!
There’s also no way, that I know of, to get off this fucking shitcunt list. What the fuck do I need to do to not be on this list?
Awesome, might ask a friend to print this for me. Wonder what got me on the list, must be my charm.
*Edit Ah ha, has to be 9. Shit my last comment in my history was a joke about jerking off to my parents.
9) Accounts that post content an average person off the street would see in the feed and go “What the actual fuck?!”
Kinda hard to quantify this one, but basically people who continuously post stuff that, even allowing for a very open mind, the average person would find offputting.
I sometimes turn on the mainstream news on TV and I go “what the actual fuck is this”.
Doesn’t happen often since it’s so disgusting but sometimes when I’m at hotels or such.
Man, i feel so left out, Why wouldn’t they block me 😭
Wait were individuals blocked or just instances?
Me too. I argue with zionists! Why don’t they notice me 🥺
Is that why I got put on the list, because I don’t support genocide?
Most likely, that’s why most people were.
You just have to be a massive bell end, like I am.
The list is big enough to fall into the “If you meet one asshole, you met an asshole. If everyone you meet is an asshole…” category.
Is it too late to get on the list?
Apparently several people have gotten themselves added since the initial reveal of the list by deliberately razzing Mr. Patrick via private message, among other things. I imagine he is also running automated scraping tools to seek out people for his self-styled version of “non-normie” behavior (i.e. keywords) to block as well.
