It is called the toxicity list if you weren’t toxic you don’t go on it I guess. Honestly IDK what the big deal is the mods and admins here love their big ban lists why is this particular one getting so much attention?
Because it was secretly implemented on people who had no means of knowing that their entire fediverse feed was being personally curated by a single individual.
It’s fine to ring fence your own personal instance - that’s the point of federation; but to secretly censor a front end client? Ffs.
It is not the worst possible thing but shadow banning via a client is quite ridiculous, even more so when politically motivated. I won’t even get into how funny it is to have even less of a tolerance for political variety than lemmy.ml.
If you really want to circle jerk, that is what instances are for where what is tolerated and what is not is much more transparent.
It wasn’t politically motivated tho it was ‘toxic people’ that were shadow banned you know “be awesome or else” right? That is how vibe modding works it’s fundamental to the fediverse experience.
This was a small step forward if you only have a problem with this but not all the steps that lead us here then you are pushing an agenda using the perceived political motivations, or you are just dumb.
I love drama because it inevitably brings out people who want to be middle of the road about everything, and you can look back and see how that works in practice for every other opinion.
It’s telling on yourself in a fantastic sort of way.
You thought I was insulting you, no I’m just pointing out what it looks like to be held up by a cylinder of jello that represents what in other people is a backbone!
So if I conform I’ll grow a backbone? That doesn’t make sense.
It’s a real shame that you think someone standing up for their beliefs against the crowd is the one lacking conviction it’s very… fucking sad get help kid

Yea that isn’t how big ban lists work.
Yea that is how shadow banning works.
Mhmmm
Just seems like someone went a slight bit further than everyone else and somehow this is the worst possible thing ever it just doesn’t make sense.

Yes I don’t see the world as black and white instead as grey I am not going to sidestep my morals for a political agenda. Thanks for the compliment.
