    I don’t understand, what instance uses this? If they filter the listed words does that mean posts containing them won’t show? That would make conversations on Lemmy incoherent with gaps and wipe out probably 50% of the content?

    None of this is in the source code. It’s downloaded at runtime from a file nobody has ever looked at.

    diabolical, thanks for all your work with this

            Some megamod mass banned me from a bunch of random communities which is annoying

            Same.

            Especially because from my instance, I can’t conveniently block communities that I’m banned from. The block button disappears when banned. I have to go into my settings and manually add the name of the community to my blocklist.

            So, yeah, it’s pretty annoying when a community I’ve never even heard of before pops up in my feed and I’m already banned from it, so then I have to open up the manual block list settings…

              I’ve been banned from unrelated communities for having an opinion one of their mods didn’t like. I’d understand if it was because I posted in that community. At this point people are banning me because my mod log has allegations of transphobia and stuff (the admin of my instance I believe is trans, we’ve discussed things, they’ve helped me speak about certain subjects in a gentle manner, I don’t have any ill will towards transgender people, it’s just terminology I used was seen as offensive) which is just a weird cycle of being banned because I have a “mark” on me from what was likely a misunderstanding or overzealous mod years ago, or me discussing things from a theological perspective and it wasn’t actually what I believed politically either.

                I’ve (apparently) got on one power mod’s bad side just by downvoting a few of their AI slop posts.

    A lot of that domain list is real spam defence. It filters conservatism as well as communism. “It targets the left” doesn’t survive the data and I’m not going to pretend it does.

    Based retraction. Credit where it’s due. (Not that you can read this, ironically).
