Family members of Uvalde school shooting victims also said they're filing lawsuits against dozens of Texas Department of Public Safety officers and Uvalde's school district.
It gets misused ala reddit block list which seemed like a good idea but was co-opted to mean, anyone a small set of users disagreed with. Auto ban from half the sub reddits.
Do you know what I was talking about? No. This is a block list that was shared so you could (what’s the word?) automatically fill your blocklist with a disapproved group of people. This is basically letting someone defederate for you.
That may be what YOU were talking about. That is not what WE, the rest of the people in this comment thread, were talking about.
Eezyville@sh.itjust.works - I think having a tagging functionality would also be good for Lemmy.

You brought a “block list” into this convo where we were discussing user made tags that only the user who made the tag can see and aren’t shared and spread to others…
You don’t get it. You didn’t experience it on reddit, I get that.
Listen, people shared their blocklists (tagging if you want to use that word) and it lead to entirely innocent people being muted by hundreds. You with me now?
OK I think I understand what you are trying to say. User A made a list of other users that they believe should be ignored using this tagging system. They then shared this list somehow with User B and User B was a mod. The mod then blocked the people in this list made from User A’s tags and User B then shared this same list to Users C, D, etc who are also mods.
So it’s a feature of the app you’re using and not Lemmy itself? I think having a tagging functionality would also be good for Lemmy.

…no? We’re talking about personal tagging, only you the user can see those tags

That’s it.
