When do you think feminists such as yourself will pick up protesting there aren't enough women coal miners, and that women make up less than 2% of workplace deaths? It seems you're only fighting for cushy jobs, which comes off as quite a bit sexist.

What are you doing to prevent this from being used to blacklist people for wrongthink? What precautions are you taking to prevent people from creating echo chambers using this? How about to prevent people from using it to drown out valid criticisms and from using it as a tool to prevent their ideas from being challenged? What metrics are used to determine actual trolling/harassment versus something a user just "doesn't like" because it goes against their current beliefs?

"Harassment" as a word barely means anything anymore, people who have your specific ideological stance (E.G. anti-male at the very least) tend to use it in an attempt to silence critics and prevent their ideas from being challenged so they can continue to live in their filter bubble/echo chamber. I'm very interested to hear how you intend to prevent all these issues.

we do not use shared allow/deny lists though users have been asking for being able to share lists, similar to the way blocktogether worked - we're considering it.

You possibly inadvertently answered my question,

What are you doing to prevent this from being used to blacklist people for wrongthink

In that it seems you're considering basically encouraging it to be used in that manner. I don't want to put words into your mouth, but adding that functionality would enable exactly that. Is this something you've considered or will this just be accepted as a valid use even though it's blatantly discriminatory?

In fact they'll never know you were here at all...

or where you disappeared to.
