    I’m honestly glad we’re getting rid of white/black list. I personally couldn’t give a shit the racial element (which wasn’t what they ever meant anyway), but I never have to stop and think about it for a half second to figure out which I need. Allow/deny list are just outright better names.

      Blacklist and whitelist are intuitive to me. It’s the black/red/white -pill stuff I never even try to remember

        I’ve dealt with them a lot but they never really stuck for some reason. Allow/block is much clearer IMO
