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.

    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.
