My point isn’t that harassment isn’t a reason for the blocking anti-feature, but that Rimu’s anti-communism is also likely having an impact on making stronger censorship tools. Again, you’re reading absolutes when I’m talking about influence.
This again is completely baseless. You have not spoken to Rimu regarding this and have zero idea of his motives. I see zero connection here. I can easily imagine a hypothetical communist social space designing a block system to work in the same way.
No reason to say they have zero relation. If we consider it a scale of relation between 0 and 100, it’s just as unreasonable to say it has 0 relation as it is to say that they are fully related. My point is that it has some influence.
I already have, Rimu opposes the widespread communist presence on Lemmy and is making tools that make it easier to censor views admins deem unsavory. I even gave you an example of it in practice.
I understand that anyone can block, it’s almost like you’re intentionally missing my point. By deliberately fostering an environment where liberalism is the default, and creating tools to make it easier to shut out minority views entirely, these tools reinforce the dominant viewpoint.

But we aren’t talking about hypotheticals, we are talking about real views and someone who allows those views to influence their development of FOSS.
Again, no reason to connect Rimus anti-communist position with his stance on how blocking should work. They have zero relation.

Explain to me how they could be connected please.

The blocking tool is not an admin-level tool. Anyone can block.
Would you argue that the anti-AI checks on Piefed constitute an attempt to try to censor communists?
