My position is that you shouldn't be able to opt out of MRF transparency at all.

If you want to do that, modify the code yourself.
I have been looking at anime girls and porn since I was eight years old, no attainable woman is going to satisfy me.
I don't want to dive into another thread on the mrf change but it got me thinking - assuming there's enough dishonest admins who would actually turn it on the only way to curb that behavior from becoming the norm would be to identify them and shame them (or at least they will get unsolicited messages regarding the choice and not straight up shaming). That might invite more hatemail than disclosing all of your blocks would.

I still don't think very many people will use it, and I don't think it will ever become the norm but its bad because it is enabled to BECOME normal and once it is we might as well not expose blocks at all. As unlikely as it is.

This is it. No more hot takes on this. It's not a big enough deal to justify any more energy. So to summarize:

- I don't think this is a big deal

- I would advise people don't trust the instances that use it

- I don't think admins who enable this respect their users

- this is technically better than servers opting out, even if its not their complete block list

- that last point is entirely conditional on the fact we can tell if they turn the feature on. If that wasn't the case this whole thing is hot garbage

- if enabling this ever becomes the norm, it should be reverted as it makes the data would be so incomplete you could never trust it

- I don't think enough people will use this to make the data too incomplete to trust

Thanks for reading the whole thing, have some complimentary cosplay tiddies for the trouble

Fuck. I just remembered I missed movie night.

If someone sending a (less than savory) message to you is "violence", it's very likely you haven't experienced violence.

The Internet is a scary place, but there is no combination of packets that can be sent to your computer that can physically harm you. Period.

When two left clicks will stop the interaction, it's not violence. Period.

Acting like someone calling you a mean name on the Internet is "violence" is an insult to people who experience real physical violence on a daily basis.
