Comment on Tesseract Dev (AdmiralPatrick) RageQuits Lemmy with Final Goodbye Message
pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 5 hours agoNo it’s not. If I have an instance that blocks any mention of lgbtq+, or trump, or biden, or whatever, that wouldn’t be cool at all. It would be fine if they told you up front, but not if it’s a secret.

You can’t see the difference between one instance making a decision for themselves and a dev making a secret decision that affects multiple instances?

So you can’t see that shadow banning and curating other’s content is bad?

Yeah, what does context matter?
You should feel bad for all the curation you have done as a moderator by removing comments that broke rules since you think it is bad.

What? If you say that we’re going to block anyone saying slurs and then show that that’s true, cool, do that. If you block people from saying that trump was best friends with epstien and was found guilty in a civil trial of raping Jean Carol, very not fucking cool. So yes, context matters. This is open source, be open about it.
