    I am not advocating for ban lists. It’s that I understand how the fediverse works it’s rife with censorship this is just oh_no_my_tribe these people don’t care about censorship when it is against their enemies.

      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.

        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 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.
