     the problem with so many of these blocklists is that they're full of instances that shouldn't be there and are more reflective of vendettas between certain fedi cliques than anything else
     
     haven't heard of this "FSEP" though so i wish them the bes—

     four entities, two of which i've never heard of, one of which is a guy who is notorious among experienced fedi users as an unhinged crank with an axe to grind, and the last one's recently been in an ongoing drama where he defamed and threw one of his own users under the bus on the advice of another person who's notorious among, etc..
     
     yeah no i wouldn't consider myself safe with these people

     Part 1 (give us admins a simple setting to subscribe to an auto-updating blocklist of the "worst of the worst) is the goal of FSEP:

     https://nivenly.org/docs/papers/fsep/

     Part 2 (Programmatically verify that instances for new users have done at least this minimum level for ensuring user safety):

     This one isn't at proposal stage yet. Soon...

     2 things can make this better.

     1) Imagine if as an admin, during Mastodon server setup time (or any time after!), you could just click a checkbox and subscribe to an auto-updating denylist that blocks all the CSAM, violent racism and transphobia, etc. The worst of the worst.

     2) Imagine if Joinmastodon listed multiple instances again. But it only listed instances that it *programmatically verified* blocked the worst of the worst.

     @thatandromeda @mekkaokereke @wolleysegap @staidwinnow @Jorsh of course not, sadly.

     @MarcBrillault @mekkaokereke @wolleysegap @staidwinnow @Jorsh yes and yes, but this doesn’t solve the problem of new users not knowing how to find good servers.

     @mekkaokereke @wolleysegap @staidwinnow @Jorsh is there a maintained list of such servers that allow abuse? Can server admins use this list to defederate these servers?
