Absolutely correct. We’re still not allowed to use “whitelist” and “blacklist” because it’s somehow racism. We have linters which bar us from checking in code

Absolutely correct.
We’re still not allowed to use “whitelist” and “blacklist” because it’s somehow racism.
We have linters which bar us from checking in code with these words and a bot which scolds us publicly in chats.
Now the same people who applauded that policing of speech suddenly are offended when their explicit political speech is being removed.
It’s just simply hypocrisy.
- _DeadFred_ 2y agoWay to 'what about' speech policing. Yay to normalizing less freedoms because 'someone else did something too'.
- Dig1t 2y agoI’m not trying to what about anything, I’m actually a fairly extreme free speech absolutist. I’m just pointing out the hypocrisy, the people complaining the loudest are the same people who exuberantly censor people they disagree with. These type of people have lost moral authority.
- nom 2y ago> and a bot which scolds us publicly in chats. that is quite disturbing to me
- yibg 2y agoThat's ridiculous. I use whitelist and blacklist just fine and have for the last decade plus. No one in the government told me it wasn't allowed.
- EdwardDiego 2y agoYou're really offended by these linters huh.
- Dig1t 2y agoI resent others trying to police my language, especially when the language is not offensive. People who do this obviously get joy out of bossing other people around and pretending they are being virtuous.
