    Am I the only one who thinks “Allowlisted” is a seriously stupid term? Why, pray tell, can’t we use name of a colour anymore?

    And no, I won’t Caucasianlist YouTube, ever.

      Eh, I’m not a huge fan of fixing deep societal issues with quick lazy rebranding of words either, but I do admit that AllowList / BlockList is much clearer in intent than Whitelist / Blacklist is.

        GreenList and RedList might also work, but I agree there’s nothing more clear to what you’re blocking or allowing than a BlockList and AllowList. As clunky as it sounds at first.
