Raddle goes to war with itself over the site's usage of racist terminology
[POLICY] Can the word for having an account approved to do things not be crackerlisted anymore?
Crackerlist is unironically a masterstroke, I want this to be a thing now
Added to Crackerlist
Reason: posted too passionately about casserole
masterstroke

Honestly I find whitelists to be an... odd way of phrasing it. There's a reason most programmers have moved to block and allow lists. Don't really care about crackerlist, but I find it odd that they'd still use the naming conventions of white and black lists. Changing white to cracker doesn't make whitelists any less weird.
No idea how they give two shits about the word cracker when there is obviously a bigger issue.
9/10 crackers do not ruminate in fear and dehumanization when they’re called that because there is no policy - historical or present - to oppress them as a group of people. Rarely do people say it with complete malice and desire for violence - it’s often said lightheartedly because everyone knows that the dynamics are just completely imbalanced. At worst they’ll be annoyed for 30 seconds and forget about it.
Hell, I’d argue honkey and redneck are more “offensive” because it’s a slur for poor white people, and this subgroup has and is still being targeted by the state today. But crackers don’t want to talk about class, even when it’s them who’s suffering.
Literally nobody but racist crackers care about "slurs" for white people, it doesn't hurt and may in fact help in the most minuscule of ways because it's funny watching white identitarians malding about make-believe oppression
I won't use it and I'm not white.
Looking for a pat on the head or somethin?
If being called cracker makes someone disinterested in socialist policy then they weren't open to changing their views in the first place
Fam I learned recently that rednecks eat at a place called Cracker Barrel. Only the most baby of petit bourgeois would be angry about it, and their class interests do not align with socialism
Nah it's pretty funny, everyone should say it.
We'd have to stop using any terms that include colors: redfaced (ashamed), red with rage, blackballed, black humour, black magic, black eye, black sheep, yellow journalist, red line, yellow card, red card, brown-noser, brown thumb, black-and-white thinking, black out, black as night, etc.

That's amazing we should start crackerlisting so we can crackerlist people becaus someone would get SO MAD and then we could point at them and laugh
"allow list" and "block list" are so easy to understand
Hilariously it looks like ziq (who runs raddle), and emma (who develops it) are the main ones in that thread arguing for keeping terms like blacklist and master branch.
Folks, are colors by definition racist?
And yet you have a purple avatar.
racist terminology
Raddle goes to war with itself
Isn't this, by definition, all arguments ziq has with themselves on Raddle?
Okay, change it to honkeylist.
HI Ziq! Hope you're doing well. I know you're lurking.
Don't forget to say hello to all their alts as well
The struggle of those of us who are eternally online
🤦♂️
Wtf is a Raddle
the lemmy so good that it's not actually a lemmy
This is so funny lmao. Out of all the things to fight about
I think white/black offends too few categories. For example, women aren't referenced at all. My suggestion is yinlist and yanglist.
Please rename right and left to Dexter and anti-dexter to be more inclusive.
(After I wrote this joke, I decided to check what Esperanto does, it's literally the same)
Broke: whitelist
Woke: allowlist
Bespoke: crackerlist
the real bespoke is to make crackerlist the banlist/denylist
Please don't do the same for blacklist
