The dev included an optional toggle to enable “toxic mode” which basically gives you posts and comments from all users and instances. A lot of folks on the “toxic” instances are choosing to interpret this as an attack.
The irony is that throwing tantrums is how they ended up on the “toxic” list in the first place.
Reputedly, THIS list is able to be disabled, trivially easily too. This is the second, hidden, much larger one containing usernames.
It is the OTHER list - the first, smaller, instance-level one - that seems to not be able to be disabled.
So Kirk is not lying.
Neither were made very clear to people though, that’s accurate. If db0 hadn’t been forced into digging deep to find out why the interface was broken, this might have gone under the radar for many more months.

Not optional, and not made clear to anybody. Hence the backlash. You’re lying.
