Sounds like a fantastic plan.

The handwringing about if we're being nice enough to the alt right is directly contributing to why we have so much mess we're now having to deal with. The approach seems sane to find music that's very specifically nazi rock, so they're being extremely limited in response, imo.

Screw em, kick them out of anywhere you find them, and then nail the door they used to get in shut.

Horrible idea. Let people share what they want and give the means for individuals to hide content they don't want to see.

We shouldn't be deciding for other people what they are allowed to see.

The next generation of internet users should really look into the Streisand Effect. You're only going to drive more people away from your cause when you try to control what they get to say and what they're allowed to see.

I'm already abandoning the left as quickly as possible because I'm sick of yall's censorship and propaganda tactics; this is just another one of them.

For me it's independent or bust. You can thank all the brow-beaters, tantrum-throwers, useful idiots, and mod-abusers for why I'm no longer loyal to their side. These kids need to grow up if they want more adults to take them seriously.

While that is funny and certainly deserved. Normally I would say that its not their place to decide that but fuck right wingers they deserve to be purged out of every single space they have.

You can decide what music you listen to. Anyway a band being too politcal won't make bad music, you don't have to agree to their ideas to appreciate the music

The intent sounds fine, but as @deadsuperhero@lemmy.world points out, it offloads the actual responsibility of filtering on MusicBrainz and WikiData.

It's not hard to imagine MusicBrainz being flooded by users trying to circumvent bans by editing tags. Or incorrectly tagging bands they don't like or agree with to get them banned.

Funkwhale probably isn't big enough in itself to make a huge splash, but this proposed ban does add another target to the extreme right's hit list. It seems a little iffy to me to make an open project like MusicBrainz that target?

Lame.

They have benefitted from and encouraged 'but if you do that you're no diffrent from-' spinelessness.

Their entire gameplan has been to whine and sob and play victim while demanding 'we' march to where they are, while they take two more steps back and whine and sob more at how we're extremists.

So. Fuck 'em.

Their 'compromise' is 'we give them everything, and get nothing in return.'

Show them that they are not welcome or wanted.

I fail to see how it's even possible for an open source project to dictate what content is acceptable. Also, the entire idea is contrary to rms' FOSS goals (for any purpose), other than being completely ineffective. I can understand the need for agency and contribution to whatever resistance can be mustered, but this is larping.

What exactly is funkwhale? It looks like a federated music platform of some sort?
