How was white and black descriptive?
I remember making a Minecraft server in 2009 and not understanding what whitelist and blacklist meant.
Allow/Block makes sense. White/Black doesn’t.
Insufferable FOSS/Linux nerds are ruining Lemmy.

Or we can be happy they changed it to something easier to understand.
If you’re angry about a word change, when it makes it easier to understand, you’re probably racist.
I’m glad it’s easier to understand, and has the added benefit of PoC feeling more inclusive.
You’re angry because… idk? You’re racist? There’s no other reason to be outraged.
I think calling a block list “black” and an allow list “white” makes no sense.
Allow/block makes sense. White/black makes no sense. Words have meaning, let’s use them properly.
If you’re upset about changing the words to better explain what they do, you’re racist. There’s literally no reason to oppose a word change when it makes it easier to understand.
They have a successful channel and are known for speaking out about whatever they have issues with.
It’s the only channel on YouTube where you’ll find a 3 hour video ranting about how a tea kettle works.
You mean Apple changed it to a water gun and everyone followed suite as to not have an issue?
Thanks, America, and your mass shootings.
Antisocial people.
It was the same on Reddit. All of the people who despised emojis were often posting in really cringe and incel related subs.
My use of emojis sky rocketed after I started dating. They are fun and convey emotion really well.
Why do Lemmy users spread lies?
Tangerine used to have 4-6 digit PIN (no password) to access your online-only account.
Not sure if they still do. I believe so, though.
YouTube isn’t suffering. Lemmy has an active userbase of just over 30K. Given the fact a lot of people have multiple accounts (I do), that’s less than 30K active users.
On top of that, probably less than half of Lemmy users actually cry about YouTube.
Even if we are generous, and say the entirety of Lemmy, and each user is unique, 30K is nothing lol.
They just moved it. It’s still in place. Thanks for proving me right.
Didn’t realize correcting false information is boot licking.
Enjoy living in your own reality where you tell yourself whatever makes you feel better.
It was changed a long while ago because of race. Grow up. Stop being outraged and melodramatic over a fucking word change to be more inclusive.
Blacklist = blocked
Whitelist = allowed
Calling things slave/master
Not to mention allow list and block list just make sense.
Racists angry over 1 simple word change that better describes the function of said list.
I’m not embarrassed. I’m just tired of being insulted.
It’s funny because it seems like everyone who attacks my code has nothing to show for themselves. Too busy telling others the “right” way to do things lol.
Go back to your broken Linux and PeerTube lmao
Having a discussion about paying for things isn’t garbage. You’re just poor and salty.
Except they didn’t drop it.
And remember… don’t be evil, and if you see something that you think isn’t right – speak up!
No they didn’t. Please stop spreading this false rumour.

Whatever you’re putting in the allow list is being allowed.
Usernames, IPs, etc.
Whatever you’re putting in the block list is being… blocked.
English is easy. Fuck off.
