Hasn't it been revealed that the devs are tankies who straight up refuse to implement features that they feel would undermine the cause?

For example, they have a hard coded Blocklist. There have been tickets to change this to instance implemented. Every time this comes up, the devs claim that this has already been implemented and lock discussion. However if you actually look at the commit sha the hard coded Blocklist is still in place.

Genuine question: What would be preferable to a hardcoded blocklist?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They already allow instance admins to add to the Blocklist. They could simply remove the hard coded one.

There are people who are automatically blocked by every instance simply by nature of the literal source code?
