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.

Are they blocking illegal content (such as content that promotes violence or issues threats) and content against the terms of service (like hateful, trolling, or disrespectful content)?

Or are they banning people based on their political beliefs or who they voted for, even if their content is not political in any way whatsoever?

And how are they defining alt right? A literal Neo Nazi? Or someone who voted Republican?

Why repeat yourself?

Because despite the insistence for years, those are not the same thing. Full stop.
