This was the first struggle session I remember.

It was absolutely bonkers watching the raddle king make false equivalencies between the terms “blacklist” and “brown-nose”.
Love seeing a tagline that spawned from a thread I was part of lol.
is blacklist racist?
The term is used to describe a list of things that are disallowed. So the connotation is a bit racist. “Allow list” serves the same purpose without and is being widely adopted in the software industry.
Meanwhile brown-nosing is like kowtowing or kissing up too. The connotation of that is that your nose is up their ass and you got shit on it.
Outside of programming, "blocklist" would probably make more sense for most normal uses of the word (blocking people out of credit/rent/employment/etc).
allow is the more descriptive replacement for whitelist, dunno why op switched from blacklist -> blocklist, they serve similar purposes but the inversion of the default is pretty important
