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.

While that is funny and certainly deserved. Normally I would say that its not their place to decide that but fuck right wingers they deserve to be purged out of every single space they have.

I'm a bit torn on the idea, myself. On one hand, fuck fascists, don't let 'em have an inch. But on the other hand, this does kinda take away a users' freedoms with the software.

Honestly, I think it's fine if it's a plugin or something that you can install at your own discretion or something. Or if it's baked-in, it should be an opt-in setting. I'm of the opinion that the actual software, itself, should be apolitical. It's something I can respect the Lemmy devs for, after all; even though I disagree with their politics, the actual Lemmy code is politically agnostic, and I think that's for the best.

I'm sure people are still free to take the code and make the necessary adjustments if they really need to host a Nazi-friendly instance.

A fork is desirable. Then we can have antifa hacktivists contributing to that source with malware to scare them out of their dumb political views.
