@anarchiv @GreenandBlack@sunbeam.city gab has a third-party commenting thing, so you can leave nazi comments on something but they're stored on gab's server.
The dev had no ethical problems with implementing that into invidious, only reason it's not in yet is because the gab-thing has bad specifications
@f0x I barely understand this but it sounds bad @GreenandBlack
@anarchiv @GreenandBlack@sunbeam.city it's so Invidious can display gab-comments on videos instead of comments coming from youtube
@f0x what the actual fuck
@GreenandBlack
@f0x The way I read this, Invidious's dev, @omarroth, has vetoed the request.
They've also avoided a potential minefiled by giving technical rather than political reasons for the veto. Sometimes that's a lower-energy path to a desired result born from experience or awareness.
The outcome is what you wanted. You're unhappy with the rationale. IMO you shouldn't be.
And you owe omarroth an apology.
@dredmorbius @omarroth@mastodon.social @anarchiv @GreenandBlack@sunbeam.city from the issue "To be clear: I am not opposed to adding this as a feature. I would rather see questions or issues about implementation, not the quality of Dissenter discussion or character of people involved."
They have no moral obligations against implementing this, and the rationale certainly matters here.
@f0x The test is simple: if they CONSISTENTLY find non-political reasons to deny some faction or suggestion, they're doing The Right Thing.
If not, they aren't.
I'm inclined to advance the benefit of doubt. Flies, honey, vinegar, etc.
@f0x oof, in what way? @GreenandBlack
