The extension shinigami eyes is back.

Quick context: the extension allows you to see which profiles are supportive or transphobic and it wasn’t updated for 2 years.

I was worried it was abandoned. Hopefully we can get Ecosia and Lemmy supported and have it expanded it to cover racist/sexist profiles soon. I would like to donate to the developer if I could.

It is my favourite Firefox extension because it would protect you from seeing all the hate online and prevent unintentionally supporting a slimy transphobe😡 and it literally reveals to you people’s true colours.

ITT people worry their hate speech won't be seen

L take, only because you have people like u/awkwardtheturtle who like to brand anyone who disagrees with them as the public enemy. I haven't read up on this extension in a couple years, but last I checked there was no safeguard from one user just going in and falsely flagging accounts. If they have something in place to reasonably prevent this, then my point might be mute. But if they don't, then fuck em.

Seems like you didn't really read up on it considering the website says

Is there a mechanism in place to prevent malicious/fake reports?

Yes. While your overrides are immediately visible to you, changes are included in the publicly visible dataset only if they pass some trustworthiness criteria (including human validation).

Yeah free speech absolutists suck! Try criticizing their right wing ideas and watch them become hypocritical.

Hate speech needs to be punished because it is the first step of dehumanization.

i don't think it even rises to the bar of a free speech issue, honestly. it's akin to throwing a tantrum because someone took your jerkass note off the corkboard, it was a courtesy to let it stay there in the first place.
