I would appear asimon04 changed their name to paulo-roger. It appears they are trying to remove some of their repo from public view. But git doesn't remove data just because it's orphaned.

Here are some updated links, these might be good for another week before git does GC.

link in title: https://github.com/paulo-roger/tesseract/blob/e70e3a3cef739c59288ec78f0bbb4f0e1b4fa194/src/lib/blacklists.ts#L2270

    The author of tesseract hardcoded blacklists that targeted communities, moderator and phrases that were progressive or anti-conservative. These blacklists weren't editable by a user, not publicised, and not documented.

    Users then starting posting how it explained why they weren't seeing that content as much. Then some users cried themselves to sleep because they weren't special enough to be in included in the lists. 😭

    So they got called out for supporting fascists, took their toys home, and left a boobie trap on their website while crying to sleep at home alone, or maybe on the streets. I don't know or really care where they are crying.
