Until someone has an alternative tool that protects Black fedizens just as well or better than fediblock, TBS, allowlist, etc I don't care how they feel about them.
Instance level blocks and curated blocklists are a non negotiable for us to exist on this network and they still aren't enough. BQL would not have lasted a week without them and yet despite these tools look at all the abuse I've had to endure over the past year and change. I don't care how many nonblack people get upset about it because I know the alternative is no Black folks being here.
So until you've got something that actually protects us and allows us to exist here with zero harassment, miss me with the complaints. I don't care.

<Mastodon> Everybody should be able to curate their feeds.
<Black Folks> Great, we made a tool so we can curate our feeds together!
<Mastodon> NO NOT LIKE THAT
