Lemmy users are so fucking annoying. All of the shitty people from Reddit moved here.

Because Lemmy is full of insufferable entitled assholes.

Then it sounds like a you problem…

Whatever you’re putting in the allow list is being allowed.

Usernames, IPs, etc.

Whatever you’re putting in the block list is being… blocked.

English is easy. Fuck off.

How was white and black descriptive?

I remember making a Minecraft server in 2009 and not understanding what whitelist and blacklist meant.

Allow/Block makes sense. White/Black doesn’t.

Or we can be happy they changed it to something easier to understand.

If you’re angry about a word change, when it makes it easier to understand, you’re probably racist.

I’m glad it’s easier to understand, and has the added benefit of PoC feeling more inclusive.

You’re angry because… idk? You’re racist? There’s no other reason to be outraged.

I think calling a block list “black” and an allow list “white” makes no sense.

Allow/block makes sense. White/black makes no sense. Words have meaning, let’s use them properly.

If you’re upset about changing the words to better explain what they do, you’re racist. There’s literally no reason to oppose a word change when it makes it easier to understand.

Timbers are shivered.

You mean Apple changed it to a water gun and everyone followed suite as to not have an issue?

Thanks, America, and your mass shootings.

Antisocial people.

It was the same on Reddit. All of the people who despised emojis were often posting in really cringe and incel related subs.

My use of emojis sky rocketed after I started dating. They are fun and convey emotion really well.

Tangerine used to have 4-6 digit PIN (no password) to access your online-only account.

Not sure if they still do. I believe so, though.

YouTube isn’t suffering. Lemmy has an active userbase of just over 30K. Given the fact a lot of people have multiple accounts (I do), that’s less than 30K active users.

On top of that, probably less than half of Lemmy users actually cry about YouTube.

Even if we are generous, and say the entirety of Lemmy, and each user is unique, 30K is nothing lol.

They just moved it. It’s still in place. Thanks for proving me right.

Didn’t realize correcting false information is boot licking.

Enjoy living in your own reality where you tell yourself whatever makes you feel better.

COVID isn’t a flu, and treating it like it isn’t fair when you can be completely asymptomatic and spread it to someone who may have a really bad reaction to it.

The thing about the flu is that it has very obvious symptoms. You’re not getting the seasonal flu without knowing it. Meanwhile you may never know you have COVID, spread it to an immunocompromised person, and they die.

It was changed a long while ago because of race. Grow up. Stop being outraged and melodramatic over a fucking word change to be more inclusive.

Blacklist = blocked

Whitelist = allowed

Calling things slave/master

Not to mention allow list and block list just make sense.

Racists angry over 1 simple word change that better describes the function of said list.
