Funkwhale is building a new mechanism to filtering out music from Nazis and White Supremacists. In doing so, this opens a can of worms.

The Funkwhale music platform is alive and in active development, and they’re working on a feature to filter far-right artists off the network. Some Fediverse self-hosters are divided on letting a third party decide what should be allowed in their library.

      As a fan of the odd bit of black metal, I would appreciate the 20% being dealt with

        At least most nsbm sucks or have names like “ss wehrwulf division 1488” so it’s usually really easy to avoid.

          But there is a load of really dodge black metal that is much more cryptic, not being blatant but made by Nazis like Deathspell Omega, Mgla, Drudkh and Winterfyllth. I’ve been in the scene a long time and been fooled by some of these.
