I don’t really recommend using it, it has a lot of false positives. Also seems to be biased in a lot of their views. It also seems to miss a lot of stuff which is blatantly transphobic and I marked stuff while using it but it was never approved despite being blatantly not okay. So I really don’t recommend it. If you do use it, take every rating with a grain of salt, or the whole salt shaker.
Glad I’m not the only one.
As a transmasc demiboy I’m getting gender envy from the first guy.
Is anyone else getting inexplicable gender envy from the first guy or is it just me?
It should be noted that Lemmy’s blocking function is more for “things you don’t want to see” and is next to useless for users that are actually harmful because it does not restrict access to the person it is used on, it only hides their content from you (great for people who you “disagree with” but insufficient for legitimately/objectively harmful users).
Instances like Hexbear post large amounts of spam and spread objectively harmful ideology and misinformation. They aren’t merely “things you don’t want to see”. Their defederation should be done to maintain the health and safety of the instance due to the severity of some of their offenses.
Yeah their approval process seems to be very flawed, I’ve marked stuff which was blatantly transphobic (used slurs) and it never showed up anywhere else, but I also marked things which were pro-trans and a couple never were added but some ended up being marked red afterwards. So I definitely think their system is broken in some way and possibly also personally biased.
