The issue isn't who or what was on the list, the issue is that the list was hidden. One of the biggest issues with Reddit is that they can censor people they disagree with even against the will of the users. Tesseract was doing exactly that on a platform specifically designed to prevent it.
Sure, different instances can have their own block lists, and users need to find one that works for them, but those are all clearly listed. This one was hidden, causing people who thought they were getting all the information available to them on this platform to instead be getting a tailored list of only what information was deemed acceptable by some person they don't even know. It's a major problem.
I'd have assumed someone with an @bookworm type server thinger would have picked up on the subtle subtext of beating a dead horse. Of course, maybe you did but were all like "Nah, fuck that, this bitch ass horse deserve some more beatin' on."
Never assume anyone understands anything - if there's something important people need to know, shout it from the rooftops until everyone in the world can recite it in their sleep, and even then don't assume they've truly understood it.
There's no such thing as beating a dead horse on important topics. Not to mention that the thing that's getting beaten is the "I'm on the list lol!" crap - there's been far too little discussion about the censorship issue itself.
