    Defederation really should be last resort, a lot of admin use it as a first one. (Even dbzer0 censors 187 instances)

      The vast majority of those (on the dbzer0 list) are obviously just copied from someone’s medium-sized mastodon blocklist, which in this case mostly includes instances that definitely deserve it. I recognize only a few dubious choices in there, and none that are completely indefensible.

        The instances in our blocklist are based on the fediseer. It’s mostly CSAM, Bigoted and potentiall spam instances.

          The current fediseer censured list seems much larger and correspondingly more problematic in places. You’ve started out with a good list, hope you exercise due caution in adding to it.

            The fediseer censure list is relative to which instances you’re referencing. There’s no absolute “fediseer censure list”

              Yeah, sorry, I’ve never really looked at it before. But its web UI just shows them all as one big list. I wouldn’t mind seeing a list of those censured by more than 10 instances, or all of a selected group of instances… is that in the API?

                Yes you can do that in the API, as well as filter by tags. You can also select your instance references on the UI
