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

“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”
