Screenshot of DM conversation
User with blue bubble: "Hello!
"I just wanted to ask if it is possible to implement support for the Firefox extension Shinigami Eyes onto Lemmy with activity pub as it works for mastodon. (reverse engineering might be necessary as the creator updates the add-on once every few months and does not communicate much with the user base)
"It would be a great tool to have for moderators as it allows the community to quickly identify transphobes to root them out."
Neutomic: "Hi, were are these "transphobes" and why do they need to be "rooted out"?
Blue: "I have seen a few as Lemmy is pretty good on moderation.
"I thought it would be a great idea as having another method for the moderator toolkit to hold those who make our communities less safe and inclusive accountable to the rules.
"It's the bourgeoisie pushing the transphobia to distract from the economic issues in the capitalist system from the proletariat especially in anglophones countries."
Neutomic: "That's interesting. The transgender topic is clearly promoted by the bourgeoisie, going as far as putting lgbt flags on government buildings, or allowing biological men to compete in women's sports at the Olympics. Yet the same bourgeoisie is secretly pushing transphobia too? Seems rather far fetched to me.
"Anyway you were talking about a Firefox plugin. Not sure why you message me, there is no approval needed to develop for Lemmy. So go ahead, I'm sure with a bit of effort you can get it working!"
TIL about Shinigami Eyes
