Ability to block Polycentric users #788

Open ProgrammerWhoPrograms opened 9 months ago

ProgrammerWhoPrograms commented 9 months ago

I've seen people calling for "TND" and other genocide. As well as other bullshit.

I want this for the Polycentric webapp as well as Grayjay but I can't make an account on the FUTO Gitlab where it is hosted so I can make an issue for it where it belongs instead of here.

Thanks for the feedback, we tried to resolve this by making comments which are downvoted a lot faded and be on the bottom of the list so they don't get as much exposure.

Was this the case for these comments? Maybe we can add an option where we allow such comments to be fully hidden as a setting?

I'd prefer a blocklist or something like it. I don't want to engage with hateful/negative content so I block it.

I've just came here from a video with comments blown up by an individual with a bunch of racist slurs.

Proposed a blocklist internally and it will come. I just don't have a timeline yet.

Thank you, Koen. I would also prefer blocking functionality to the current feature, which I have disabled because I don't want it to be a popularity contest whether I can see something or not. Also, if I don't like something that much, I don't want to see it at all. I don't want it just "grayed out" and put at the bottom.

Can it also be an entirely local feature that doesn't send any data over the network (possibly unless you specifically opt to do that)?

Also, do you do anything to defend the current system against Sybil attacks?

ProgrammerWhoPrograms commented 9 months ago

Thank you for deleting those comments. GitHub really needs blocking/muting functionality too.

ProgrammerWhoPrograms commented 9 months ago

Or even just hiding.

A blocklist with regex support would be great. I don't think lowering comment visibility is the correct response as it would promote downvote spamming from others.

A perfect example of a solid regex filter implementstiom would be KurobaEx or the 4chanX extension.
