The extension shinigami eyes is back.

Quick context: the extension allows you to see which profiles are supportive or transphobic and it wasn’t updated for 2 years.

I was worried it was abandoned. Hopefully we can get Ecosia and Lemmy supported and have it expanded it to cover racist/sexist profiles soon. I would like to donate to the developer if I could.

It is my favourite Firefox extension because it would protect you from seeing all the hate online and prevent unintentionally supporting a slimy transphobe😡 and it literally reveals to you people’s true colours.

    I am fine with anyone blocking me. I absolutely agree that doesn’t somehow ‘infringe on my free speech’ or whatever. My concern was about self censorship, social pressures, enforcing taboo within communities that would use tools such as this. I think the real victims of labelling ‘good’ and ‘bad’ people by color will end up being the members of the very communities that embrace this kind of idea. It does absolutely remind me of an episode of Black Mirror. I think it’s a very ‘dark path’ kind of thing, whether people might find that dramatic or not.

    “go meet your neighbors and make some connections that matter” - is pretty condescending. My neighbours are nice. Danish woman and a Polish guy. But then again, I can’t see their ‘color’, so who really knows.

      What self-censorship, social pressures, and taboo enforcement? The kind of person who will install this extension would not have done a transphobia if they weren’t aware of it

      You have a wildly inaccurate idea of what this extension is
