Adding "Ye" to my list of blocked words
Ye of little faith
I want to but I think the Thunder filter feature is a bit aggressive. I blocked the word "US" but I realized a long while later that it was also blocking all links to my instance sh.itjust.works. I'm afraid I'll lose all titles with "yesterday" or "yes".
I’m working on my own lemmy app. It would be cool to have settings for your filters like containers, starts with, ends with, word, part of word. But I also need to strike a balance between average users and power users. Maybe an advanced filter setting would be cool.
Can't you filter " Ye " or something like that?
I would assume that the filters are case insensitive and filter whitespace but I don't know for sure. I should test some stuff out.
"contains" filters are so fickle. They are the filters you want to use the most but they are very unreliable
*NazYe
Far be it from me to know of someone, anyone, even a celebrity, by using a reverse initialism or, worst, and I don't say this lightly, an apheresis.
If you see someone wearing that shirt, it is only right to deck them in the temple
This stick? I carry it for walking.
He knows he's black, right?
And mentally ill
This must be proof that equality has been reached. Now he can be a rich bigot too! Welcome!
He's "one of the good ones" and rich so he's all good.
That's always worked out in the past.
He sounds dumber every time he tries to become relevant again. Does Kim have sile custody? Because I would go after it now.

Sad to see that the dude's in this state. He clearly needs psychiatric care, not a platform from which to yell his absurdities.
His account was closed
Does this mean whatever payment processing center is used for his site is also pro, whatever this is?
It's shopify, which requires an account to report. So if anyone has a shopify account, please do the needful. Can probably be considered a threat of violence or terrorist organization, or both.
I have an account.
When I tried to report it as terrorist organization, the form gets stuck in a redirect loop. It's broken.
Threat of violence worked but I needed to provide my full name, phone number and address which felt pretty shit.
And yet I bet if you tried to set up a storefront with a certain sibling of Mario, you’d get shut down instantly.

I couldn't have taken enough drugs to write this timeline 20 years ago. WTF is happening? Maybe CERN did break the universe with the LHC

You must have been really optimistic to expect something different out of these morons, to me it's more surprising they managed to keep quiet until now
Harambee was our anchor being. Everything's been fraying at the edges since that day.
We had a second chance with Peanut the Squirrel. We fucked it up again.
The world really ended in 2012. We're living through the blooper reel.

Oh stop it you stupid leftys. Maybe he just like the design of it. Maybe he's autistic. Anyway no need to start calling everyone nazis.
/s **** it's a joke**** please everyone be aware that I'm joking** Sorry but I need this to be crystal clear, it's a long story. This feels like something a hexbear user would say in a serious way. (Replace lefties with liberals)
What's insane is that FOX allowed this commercial to air in the first place. I'm sure someone at FOX will say "We had no idea he would put this on his site", which we'll all know is bullshit because they scrutinize the fuck out of every Super Bowl ad before it gets to air. There is a 0% chance that nobody knew about this beforehand.
The commercial itself didn’t feature the shirt or any nazi imagery. It was a 30 second clip of Kanye in a dentists chair telling you to visit his website. It only aired in LA.
I don’t understand this timeline.
At least the next Superbowl halftime show is going to be interesting:

ADL easily calls out this symbol as one “adopted by Hitler as the primary emblem of the Nazis,” but can’t say the same about an extremely recognizable salute also adopted by Hitler as a primary symbol of the Nazis.

And I was wrong about who was the dumbest person on Earth.
And suddenly Chappelle's blind black man KKK member is truth.
