Made a silly little Web page for fact-checking things, using the best possible method: https://keithhacks.cyou/etc/adachi-cube.php

@puniko@mk.absturztau.be @Erpel@hai.z0ne.social Yeah - but it should also just flag the song for review or something. otherwise the moment it acts on a false positive and deletes a song or mangles its metadata (from what i can tell it also removes blacklisted artists from song credits metadata??) it's just going to get disabled entirely by the admin lol

@puniko@mk.absturztau.be @Erpel@hai.z0ne.social Yeah. I think there's a possibility they'll rethink this decision and implement it in a better way (optional and/or flagging to admins instead of outright rejecting content w/o oversight) if there's enough backlash, but OTOH they've been kinda dismissive so far... Still, might be worth a shot to leave a comment on the issue tracker.

@icedquinn@blob.cat this isn't the same thing though. this is hardcoded, completely out of the server admin's control. if it was optional i wouldn't have a problem with it

@icedquinn@blob.cat i mean the kind of people who care enough to actually self-host a funkwhale instance instead of just using [insert music streaming disservice here] probably wouldn't take kindly to their software suddenly ripping control away from them and treating them like an enemy that needs to be distrusted and policed

@icedquinn@blob.cat yeah. i don't see this decision doing anything other than completely killing trust in the project lmao

PSA: Uninstall Funkwhale NOW.

Funkwhale has gone off the deep end and is now trying to add a hardcoded music blocklist which will apply to songs in your personal music library - not just instances that host far-right podcasts, or the like. Because nothing is more anti-fascist than... not allowing people to listen to their own music on their own computers??? (What in the performative dictatorial nonsense?!)

This is an incredibly dangerous idea - not only is it a centralised blocklist that applies to your personal media collection and cannot be opted out of, it's also AUTO-GENERATED FROM FUCKING WIKIDATA(!) (The dev insists that outsourcing to Wikidata makes it decentralised and immune to problems, btw...)
