There is no doubt that pihole works for some people. I'm just giving my honest review: it didn't work for me. It blocked too much. I asked for guidance and got a lecture about privacy. And I did find a solution, just not with you

You can whitelist but it isn't easy for non-technical users and becomes a huge chore. And this story is 100% accurate. I'll try and find it.

I spoke directly with the pihole maintainers. They took a Hardline position that them blocking email from my city was the right thing to do because it used click tracking or some other metric gathering and was deemed a privacy risk. I under

I tried pi-hole but my family couldn't make it work. Pihole blocks a lot of content they want to see, for example, email newsletters from our city gov. I understand why (privacy/tracking concerns) but it was just blocking too much

The upvote is an implicit down vote for other things. I think you need two things. First an upvote/downvote so that users can express their agree/disagree. This value wouldn't necessarily effect the visibility of the content
