This makes me ๐Ÿ˜ญ

UPDATE: Thanks @[email protected] for this update: The issue has now been commented on and was closed by the maintainer, where they explained why those blocks would be nonsense. But it appears the OP wants to still talk with maintainer privately about it.

Damn, that guy's fucking dumb lmao

But also, is 7c/fakefilter even popular? It seems to barely have a following on GitHub to begin with. Seems pretty over the top to claim that PM and SL (and any other provider on that list) will get blocked from registering on websites.

And reading the project description the domains aren't even added manually. So the whole issue isn't needed at all. Might explain why it's been there since October.

The npm package has about 4000 weekly downloads. I don't know what that means in terms of popularity.

Less than left-pad. JavaScript devs are wild.

I know it probably predates String.prototype.padStart(), but it boggles my mind that people aren't just using the standard one.
