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.

My understanding is that it’s rather strict. You basically have to explicitly be transphobic, saying shit like “you will never be a woman” or “trans is just a fetish.” They don’t tag someone as harmful unless they actually say harmful things.
I’d be interested in seeing this kind of setup - where volunteers tag others’ speech and account - actually work. So often, nearly all of the time, I’ve seen it used as political tools in small squabbles; totally inappropriate usage, and it’s hard to get those proverbial scarlet letters removed. I can only wish them the best.
IDK, I feel like I still feel like I don’t agree with this approach. In fact, the entire name about “shinigami eyes” makes me think it’s inspired by Death Note, an anime about a guy with a twisted and wrong sense of justice, using shinigami powers to kill people he thinks are bad.
E.g.
I think if we want to change people for the better, than means talking with them, interacting with them, and helping them to change.
Interesting. Saying the truth is harmful sometimes. Would love to have seen Jesus’ tags
He wouldn’t have gotten tagged because he never said anything transphobic online
