I’m the admin of one of the blocked instances. Yay!
Only to find out your an innocent victim of the Scunthorpe problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem
clbuttic mistake
Scun-thorpe if anyone is wondering, Also Penistone a place in England Cockburn a name in the UK And Middlesex and Sussex I might get put on a list 🤣
Honestly if someone is literally asking to get put on a list of toxic users I see no reason they shouldn’t be accomodated, it will be doing a favor to those of us who appreciate having the feature.
list of toxic users
Oops! You accepted the premise of someone who shipped a hidden filter list in FOSS. Someone acting dishonestly shouldn’t be taken at face value.
you dont know me
I do know you, and that’s why you’re getting blocked. Bye!
hey wait thought blocklists were evil
The situation would be the same if he also could block you for other users and instances without telling them.
Personally blocking a user on your account is fine Personally blocking a user from your admin is fine
Both those things use Lemmy tools and the modlog. Banning people with a secret shadowban malware list and distributing this malware to other instances is unethical.
I’m fairly certain this user is Admiral Patrick’s alt. He is in every thread not only defending but straight up lying.
I highly urge everyone to go take a look at the list. There’s lgbt communities and instances, small news orgs and even a word ban so your comment doesn’t show if it has “Epstein class” in it for example.
The app only showed you half the ban list, it hid the LGBTQ bans, users and comment stuff from what I understand.
I don’t consider an optional ui used by optional instances with an optional and clearly labeled feature that enables an optional GUI toggle that allows users to control a filter that does not actually ban anyone to be “malware”
clearly labeled
Clear as mud. You knew adding the entire Blahaj instance on a “toxicity” filter would cause an uproar, that’s why you went out of your way to hide it.
