Luckyyyyyyy. I wish my mom would get me regex blocked, but she said we have block lists at home. I tried to tell her it’s not the same, but she just kept saying It’s all about who you know.
They don’t ban you. The UI automatically hides certain instances, communities, users and posts. This is not officially documented and can’t be configured or turned off.
There are some legitimate blocks in there to my understanding, the problem is they were/are mixed in with all the random “this hurts my feelings” blocks so it taints the whole thing
If there were opt in ‘spammers’ and ‘trolls’ lists it would be fine. The main problem is it being opt out and hidden, with it being a combination of those things plus ‘people I don’t like’ being secondary.
As far as I‘ve understood, „toxic mode“ only turns off some of the filters, not all.
Also:
The dev‘s definition of toxic is far from my own
Filtering belongs in the backend, not the fronted and should be configured by the instance admin and the individual user. We already have that in the form of moderation tools and blocks. If we wanted arbitrary third parties to dictate what we can see, we could have stayed on reddit.
The GitHub page links to a live demo page if you want to check it out. I even see your post on there!
But you won’t see my comment! I’m regex blocked babyyyy

Did they revert it? I can see your post there
Its a clean looking UI but how do they ban you for using it? Are they monitoring your comments?
For me I like the Lemmy old UI, simple and compact.

You can turn ‘toxic mode’ on and enable all the hidden posts, comments and users.
What a shitty name for not blocking content.
It should also be the default.

It has more than just list of users, it also has random regex for message contents.
And they’re still adding to it.

Also:
Toxic as defined by one person
Brittney is the only one allowed to define it.
Just checked and you’re on the list via regx
Most be new.
Congratulations on landing on the right side of history
Ah now I understand, its filtering. I bet it doesn’t warn you about that when you install it… *sigh
One more UI to ignore, thank you for the clarification.
one MORE ui to ignore? what else happened?
