Blocklists and allowlist only became ‘bad’ when Black and Brown folks started sharing ours to make our spaces a bit harder to antagonize and harass.

Digital community curation is as old as the web itself.

The negativity against it is an expression of the bizarre entitlement white people, and their tokens, have about online spaces and their need to be included in places not for them.

@are0h The disproportionate amount of hate TBS and black allowlisting projects receive is a tell.

White folks making blocklists: Oh thank you for making the fedi safer! Black folks making blocklists: This destroys the web, you're creating a ghetto, you're self-segregating, this will destroy everything. ....Uh huh.
