This is beyond the pale. I would not trust this developer with anything going forward. Thankfully this does seem to be the only notable project on his github.

This is an interface. This is the human readable layer that exists to show the state of the underlying instance software you're interacting with. Lemmy or piefed instances are the ones that are supposed to do the filtering. An interface adding this kind of blacklist filtering is underhanded and deceptive; sneaking in something malicious through a backdoor.

I am here on blahaj because I agree to let Ada and the rest of the blahaj team implement and manage domain filtering in an appropriate way. I trust their judgement and consent to have my experience shaped by their choices. I have no such trust, nor do I consent to have some random UI designer do the same without even disclosing that they're doing it.

Remove this forever, and blacklist any software that asimons04 has or will ever work on.

I'm only aware of this blacklist because of the recent change, but it has existed since 2024. We should remove this and any other interface that implements similar filtering, regardless of what those filters are designed to remove.
