Yeah no worries, stuff happens lol

Unless you're talking about a different account, .world was never at any point federated with hexbear due to "preemptively defederating them as a last resort"

It's actually a fun coincidence, the Mali TLD used to be free, so they picked it, but it's not free anymore

How about how it says literally nothing about steam

Hexbear was never federated with world, to paraphrase worlds words they were "preemptively defederated as a last resort"

Like Charles said this is just the direct bans, there's a whole regex section that goes one step further

"it being forced on all users" and it being "HARD-CODED" are one and the same thing, that's what hard-coding means.

That's what I was saying after I was being a little hyperbolic, I used a definition and your exaggerated capitalization of hard-coded interchangeably

But OpenStars! You're commenting using the HARD-CODED frontend that talks to the HARD-CODED backend!!!

How disingenuous can you be?? People are clearly upset about the combination of it being a personal blocklist/vendetta/whatever and it being forced on all users, not solely the fact that omg it's HARD-CODED. While some people may have disagreed with the slur filter it didn't ultimately prevent interaction, enabled or not; unlike this.

Ah yes, a slur filter to prevent people from saying particularly messed up stuff, definitely the same as "I'll block all of my enemies for everyone"

Not good but what the hell does this have to do with what the rest of this thread was about? Seems to me like you want to just deflect away from being wrong

What do you mean by this? Do you mean Mare is a "tankie"? If that's the case I don't think you know what people mean when they say that (pejorative for leftist that does stuff), if you mean ragebait intended for "tankies" then sure I guess?

Oh is he a chaser? lol
