Lately we’ve seen some people coming here after being banned from lemmy for wrong think.
We welcome you. Your opinion is allowed here, no matter what it is.
No one should be turned away because their way of life is some how less than a site admin believes is ok.
This is the attitude that has lead to the corporate big tech Oligarchs to believe they can rule over the masses. Tell them which opinion is ok.
Wolfballs is about destroying power not claiming more of it. We will only get more free as time goes on not less.
The goal of wolfballs is to become truly independent so we have no fear of retaliation from outside forces.
There is still a ways to go before we get there. Some things may be hidden from the front page if you aren’t subscribed but other than that we generally allow all legal content.
Bans generally come from trying to trick admins not from opinions and are often reversed.
Welcome everyone, and I mean everyone.
i was asking for a lemmy fork since i saw the rules and who made lemmy i like the concept but not the people making it because there idiots banning people for stupid shit like offensive user names when it was just funny. and the stupid slur filter but i heard they removed that not sure if they did but its just indication what kind off people that are making the software so if someone can take out the stupid shit and keep the good that’s a good thing.
I original forked the code to remove the hard coded slur filter. But one of the devs contacted me and said they would remove it and make it configurable .I don’t think They want forks so we all contribute to the same code and all benefit. There was a pretty popular fork called hex bear. Still mostly communist and woke folk but it has probably more users than Lemmy and it just fragmented the community.
One of the Devs is nice and practical the other is a little to dogmatic. They are both willing to work with me on improving the code so I will not fork and contribute as long as that is the case.
These are still early days I believe. The tech hasn’t really caught on much. I believe it will as all the other solutions don’t have a good tech reason to exist.
It integrates with mastodon so you can use wolf balls with mastodon to have a large feed of content.
that is good. i think software should be neutral it should just work well. giving people options is always better.
Wait they haven’t removed the word filter yet? I was told that they had, but didn’t check.
Its no longer hard coded
Ah so it’s configurable now? That’s dope.
A wordlist filter actually isn’t so bad if it’s configurable, it can actually be a good thing.
I had white privilege in there as a joke. Took it out eventually. The whole idea is stupid because you can just insert a picture of the banned word or replace A’s with @ , E’s with 3s and so on.
