   I think what bothers me most about #TheBadSpace discourse is how disingenuous the response to the criticism has been. Blocklists propagate too quickly and universally lack proper vetting. They're too often a tool to silence queer and kink-positive voices. In the case of our server, we've been on blocklists simply because of our name, despite the first paragraph of our About page clarifying what types of content we allow. Yet, without any vetting, we were blocked (and continue to be blocked) by other instances that used a blocklist.

   TheBadSpace uses instances that we're blocked by due to the admins being extremely kink-averse, yet they look at those instances as trusted sources.

   Ad hoc moderation has universally not been an issue for servers to do. Blocklists are simply oppressive tools wielded by people who want to police everyone else.
