    I am not advocating for ban lists

    It wasn’t politically motivated tho it was ‘toxic people’

    I don’t know, you seem rather supportive for someone who doesn’t advocate it.

    In any case there is a world of difference between ban lists of instances and ban lists of an app. The latter is something one step shy of a centralized ban list for fediverse. Also ban lists in instances at least try to revolve around a set of rules (whether or not they succeed is another issue and will change from instance to instance), where as this one is just single person’s “don’t like this person because he didn’t agree with me” list imposed without any information or whatsoever on end users. It also doesn’t help with the optics that it looks hand curated…

      Yes, you don’t.

      It is evidently not politically motivated it is “toxicity”. Yes that is subjective to the individual but you don’t have a problem with “be awesome or else” being used to maintain your safe space do you? And yea shadow banning people is part of the game here you are benefitting from it right now.

      The fact that one facist tribe wacked another facist tribe with their goofy censor stick is just comedy.

        Someone with a very distorted view of toxicity calls it the list of toxic people doesn’t make it in reality not politically motivated. It has the same rationale as a kid getting angry and starting to throw a tantrum after losing a game in the playground. I think this person’s farewell message with an embedded ddos attack pretty much sums it up.

        Apps shouldn’t assume the role of all seeing moderators for the whole fediverse. I don’t think I will again comment on difference of ban lists for instances vs apps, let alone an extensive one hand curated by a single individual.

        I don’t even see what your comment about awesomeness eludes to. You seem to be trying to point at a particular message without actually doing it. Care to elaborate?
