Define “acceptable.” I don’t think communist views are deplorable, nor do I think opposing racism is deplorable. If someone expresses deplorable right-wing views, then that itself is bad, not simply having views.
The filter system isn’t even active anywhere to my knowledge. It’s a tool some instance admins could use if they wanted to. Tbh, I don’t see the problem in theory if they wanted to block people from slurring (for example).
Slurs can be filtered without needing to block the entire comment. Mods and admins can remove egregious content.

No, if someone opposed communism - they’d be justified, in their mind, to consider the lemmy devs as “deplorable”, right?

This is part of the issue here - these tools are designed on the understanding that at some point admin tools will need to scale up to deal with much more activity.

Anti-communism is itself deplorable. If someone was a Flat Earther, that doesn’t justify hating us round-Earthers, it just explains their hatred. I don’t think anti-communism is genuinely justifiable, certainly not the racist degree Rimu takes it to.

Blocking comments outright for phrases, rather than filtering them, is pretty extreme.
I didn’t say they hated you. I assume you don’t personally hate capitalists, yet you consider it “deplorable” - right? I am saying would someone, if they despise communism - be justified in considering the Lemmy devs “deplorable” for it?
Again, this function isn’t used right now. It could be to mitigate people hurling slurs in the future though if deemed necessary.
I do hate capital owners, yes, for the most part. I also think liberals have deplorable views as well. I don’t think Flat-Earthers are justified in their views just like I don’t think liberals are justified in theirs. I can understand why they have their views, just like Flat Earthers, but that doesn’t justify them.
I do think nutomic’s transphobia is deplorable too, but I know that dessalines isn’t transphobic and Lemmy is a safe haven for queer people like myself.
The fact that the tools aren’t used right now doesn’t mean they won’t be, and I don’t see why slurs don’t just need to be filtered instead of blocking the comment outright. Abusers can be banned.
I don’t think views are justified simply by being from a certain perspective. Racism, for example, is never justified, even if we can understand where it came from.
I’m not against automation, slur filters are automated and work well.
Yes, from your perspective. You are a communist and so endorse communism. Liberals obviously hold a fundamentally different perspective and might refuse to either use Lemmy, donate to Lemmy or use or interact on certain lemmy instances because of it.
Then what’s the problem here? It’s just a unused word filter that blocks posts or comments if enabled.
From a racist’s perspective, they obviously think lesser of other ethnicities. Do you consider this “justified?” That’s my point, I don’t consider liberalism justifiable, but just like racism I can logically follow how these views form.
As for the blocking of entire comments feature, my issue is that I don’t see it fixing anything that the slur filter doesn’t already fix, and is far more abuseable.

Okay, but we are talking about from their perspective. How you feel about liberals is how many liberals feel about communists.
Because of administration by scale. Are you against any kind of automation when it comes to moderating, administration and content curation?
