All I'm doing is here is saying that there's nothing inherently bad about someone deciding they don't want a particular symbol to randomly show up in their generated QR codes.
The pushback I'm getting for expressing that opinion is bizarre.
- Razengan 3mo agoThe pushback is against the situation that a fewer people want to suppress a symbol THEY co-opted, while other, possibly a majority of people prefer the freedom to continue using it. Imagine banning "Allah Akbar" after 9/11 or banning the Christian cross because of the atrocities committed during the Crusades
- simonw 3mo agoA software library that omits specific randomly generated patterns from a QR code is not "banning" anything.
