The beans posts were already lame as shit.

Taking a dead Reddit meme and trying to make it the platform's signature is some crazy ex shit..

I wish more important stuff happened here so that an optional frontend going to shit wasn't this big of a deal.

Silently silencing the biggest queer and leftist voices for a bunch of users is quite disturbing the more one thinks about it. What if other frontends secretly do the same thing? What if other open source devs secretly want to control your opinions and speech, influencing you without your knowledge or consent? This is a terrible precedent for the fediverse, and something we absolutely cannot tolerate unless we want it to happen again.

I mean I get it, but I kinda feel like the ghost has been busted and the cat has left the bag. Hell, I shared it on Mastodon myself when I heard about it. We'll all be paying far more attention to blocklists from here on out, assuredly.

I don't think it's a conspiracy, I just think many users have the same desire to avoid unpleasant feelings as the dev. Unfortunately, that just means they sit back and do nothing as most of the queer people are silenced.

It's actually really upsetting and disgusting, but if I made a post fully expressing my frustration, they wouldn't listen. They'd see it as too whiny, preachy, and rude. Then again, if that dev has added me to the list like I asked, they probably won't see this post in the first place.

Probably the same folks that get mad when the patriarchy gets criticized or when people cheer on nazis and other intolerable assholes getting the crap beaten out of them.

Of course! It has left me quite distraught and left me with a crushing sense of FOMO. I hope this situation is rectified soon, bless my soul.
