In the section "Manage email addresses", the text reads in part:
You can also blacklist your own email address from the lists.
"Blacklist" is an increasingly disfavored term. I think "block" or "disallow" are both reasonable alternatives.
I'm moving this from -advocacy to -www, since that's a more appropriate list to discuss the change.
There is already work in progress to get this replaced. There are some backend considerations as well which is why it's not just a search/replace (and not fixing those would make it inconsistent), but it's been on the list for a while to get sorted out so it's definitely on people's radar.
