Review Summary

Shinigami Eyes initially served as a helpful tool to identify and avoid transphobic and unsafe online spaces. However, multiple user reviews reveal growing problems with false flagging, where transmasculine, intersex, and nonbinary individuals are wrongly marked as unsafe. Moderation has become unreliable, allowing harmful accounts to be marked safe, and there is no clear appeal process. The extension's recent bias and systemic issues have led to concerns about its fairness and effectiveness, causing some users to warn against continued use until improvements are made.

Pros

  • Initially, the extension was useful for identifying transphobic or unsafe spaces.
  • It accurately flagged obvious transphobic or hateful accounts.
  • The tool helped users find radical feminist accounts for following.
  • User participation allows tagging and reporting to improve accuracy.

Cons

  • The extension falsely flags transmasculine, intersex, and nonbinary people as unsafe (red), misclassifying legitimate advocates.
  • Moderation issues lead to frequent false positives and unreliable tagging.
  • Radical feminist and transmedicalist accounts that are abusive sometimes get tagged as safe (green).
  • There is no effective appeal system for false flagging, making misuse harmful.
  • The extension perpetuates intersexism and transmisandry, undermining its purpose.
