   i think blocklists should be made publicly available so users-soon-to-be can check them out and make a decision whether they want to join your instance or they're going to lose a half of their contacts during migration
   
   I just joined a themed instance to make an english-speaking alt and when I tried following people from other instances I found out most of instances with people I wanted to follow are suspended. they suspended even Absturztaube and Snowdin Town, pretty decent and comfy instances. I didn't count but the blocklist probably contained hundreds of instances, malicious and decent alike
   
   the blocklist wasn't available before I signed up
   yes, you can just delete your account if you review the list right away after signing up but what if you've run the migration proccess and lost most of your followers due to defederation?
   
   yes I'm aware you risk being defederated for not having defederated someone but you handle the same risk if your blocklist isn't available because some admins may think you aren't blocking anyone

     @ajsilu@lamp.leemoon.network I personally wouldn't join an instance with a private blocklist in the first place.
     
     Already sets a very really bad first impression on the whole transparency thing.
