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.

    They are strict now, the slippery slope argument is that it won’t stay that way. We’ve seen mod tools similar to this make mistakes. Twitch, Tumblr, YouTube, Facebook, etc all have algorithm analysis for moderation purposes and all of them have messed up and require additional human review.

      From their website:

      Is there a mechanism in place to prevent malicious/fake reports?

      Yes. While your overrides are immediately visible to you, changes are included in the publicly visible dataset only if they pass some trustworthiness criteria (including human validation).

      I see no reason to believe that the human review criteria is going anywhere
