Inclusive language

Open imsys opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Consider using "trust this channel" or "disable for this channel" instead of "whitelist". There is also reference for it in the settings.

Some reference and guides for inclusive language:

"channel overrides" will be clearest once that is implemented for per-category channel options

In DeArrow I ended up calling it "Allowlist" even though it's really an override because I realized people would not realize it can be used like that. So, it's probably fine to change it here to just use allowlist as well
