That’s correct. The regex based blocking will block the username on any instance

Oh no, a fascist is seeing that everyone despises them for their actions they tried to hide :(

You don’t understand, clearly secret blacklists are the way to keep normies! It’s not like creating your own blocklists is a core feature of the fediverse or anything

The crashout is been real. It’s nice to see pretty much everyone joining together to say secret blacklists are unacceptable

This is very upsetting. I could see an argument if it was made a user toggle for a “more friendly experience” or something like that (Like the enable toxic mode toggle), but hiding the blacklist and then an opaque error message is cowardly. Having it be pulled every time from another website instead of built into the software is also a very clear accountability dodge.

Also reading over the file, I think it’s biased, especially towards unfairly heavy moderation.

Edit: Just noticed I’m on the blocklist. What he said fuck me for?

Jordanlund does not moderate in good faith. Instead of letting the community decide what sources they will believe and debate openly, he uses biased sources to squash sources critical of his viewpoints. See the whole MBFC debacle and his lies that the lemmy.world Admins forced it.
