“allow list” and “block list” are so easy to understand
Hilariously it looks like ziq (who runs raddle), and emma (who develops it) are the main ones in that thread arguing for keeping terms like blacklist and master branch.
I don’t see why anyone would bother dying on this hill. It’s just so easy to swap words. “Oh some people find this a problem? Fair enough, we will use this instead.” simple and done.
There are many things that we all go back and forth on here but this one is just so fucking easy.
Ziq’s main objection seems to be that banning microaggressions is a slippery slope that results in wrecking campaigns which nearly destroy the site. Sounds less like a policy problem and more like a moderation problem.
