  This has nothing to do with that. This has to do with someone who develops a piece of software sneakily trying to enforce their own megalomania. Without making that fact sufficiently clear. And to be clear no matter what side of the political Spectrum you stand. This was unequivocally absurd the way it was done and handled once it was found out.

  If you want to be in a status quo cocoon. That is your choice. But it should be your choice and not something forced on you. Quite frankly I feel that these types that want to avoid all politics aren’t very bright. Life is politics politics is life. There is no escaping it until you die. And even then people may still try to use you.

    I’ve never met a single one that wasn’t an utter, drooling moron.

    I'm sorry, I don't think we're going to end up agreeing on this. I don't see that it's been forced on anyone. Maybe users of that instance, or people who use the software. But the list is there.

      The blocklist wasn’t in the publicly viewable repo, but on a server owned by the dev. This also means users can’t change it or switch it off. Luckily someone forked the repo and disabled the blocklist.

        Then the Fediverse and FOSS have succeeded.
