The Funkwhale music platform is alive and in active development, and they're working on a feature to filter far-right artists off the network. Some Fediverse self-hosters are divided on letting a third party decide what should be allowed in their library.

On the other hand, open-source software enables one to disable or edit those blocklists with a simple patch. It's just an extreme way of making it the default behavior, and therefore making their political statement stronger.

There might be a better way, but I'm not really concerned with this implementation.

Not just a patch, you also have to set up the build chain to compile it.

Ah yes, I forgot about that (I've mostly been using scripting-langage web apps)
