Not sure if you're calling me out for blocking words you disapprove of, or for me misspelling them.
(On Mastodon, at least, "leftis" as a not-whole-word keyword blocks "leftist", "leftism", and "leftists"; along with "anti-leftist", etc etc etc)
Was only pointing out the misspellings, but "leftis" is a clever way to hit all of those, I agree. Still, "white house" is not one word, and "Ukraine" has an "e" at the end (though, I suspect that follows the "leftis" formula). Downvote all you want, though. 😅
Honestly , your comment felt more like a "why you're blocking these keywords. You must not block them " or "look he's blocking leftist and Ukraine he must be right winger " attitude, which isn't outlandish if you see some of the responses to his comment.
Honestly, I put as many right-winger-blocking terms as I could think of in the list, too. But the fact is, they tend not to rear their ugly heads in any of the nerdy tech or gaming stuff I follow.
There's also my separate racist/etc blocklist that I simply don't want to post here and have those terms show up next to my username in searches anywhere...
Sorry, chief. Wasn't me...
