The Funkwhale music platform is alive and in active development, and they’re working on a feature to filter far-right artists off the network. Some Fediverse self-hosters are divided on letting a third party decide what should be allowed in their library.

I support that fight against Nazi content, but hard-coded blacklists in a open-source Fediverse software? Something is off here.
Hope they find a better way. Make it the default behaviour, include it in all tutorials, defederate.
On the other hand, open-source software enables one to disable or edit those blocklists with a simple patch. It’s just an extreme way of making it the default behavior, and therefore making their political statement stronger.
There might be a better way, but I’m not really concerned with this implementation.
Not just a patch, you also have to set up the build chain to compile it.
Ah yes, I forgot about that (I’ve mostly been using scripting-langage web apps)
Yeah I like being able to opt-in to a specific block list, or having it enabled by default but individual instances can disable it (more to neutralize bad faith arguments from trolls who want to normalize nazism), even though I want it effectively banned.
I thought funkwhale was dead. Well thats neat.
Also I think it’ll be pretty interesting what they deem as alt-right. Lotta country music’s gonna get banned.
i think they’re only banning explicitly nazi and ws shit
So all I have to do to fuck with Funkwhale users is tag some popular artists on a different site?
It’s like 6 or 7 tags that all have the word “nazi” or “white power” in the tag. As long as Sam Hunt tracks are not being encoded that way he should be good.
is it the app like lemmy or the servers moderated by diff people
Servers are hosted and operated by different admins.
