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.

    I support that fight against Nazi content, but hard-coded blacklists in a open-source Fediverse software? Something is off here.

    Hope they find a better way. Make it the default behaviour, include it in all tutorials, defederate.
