   I've been working on this for a few months now. I want to take more time on it before I say it's truly ready, but some of the things on the #FediBlock and #InstanceBlock tags lately have made me decide to rush this out now: I'm seeing people talk about servers we've had blocked for over a year now, where #admins harass minorities, promote terrorism, and trade #CSAM.

   I'm convinced this needs to be available sooner rather than later.

   This is a #blocklist from an older, block-averse instance, with servers we've seen absolutely unacceptable content from over the years.

   I encourage you to look over the reasons before you import, but be warned, many of these have CSAM and/or terrorism on the main timeline.

   View the servers themselves at your own risk.

   THIS IS NEW: If y'all see anything that shouldn't be on there, respond and I'll recheck.

     Of the tens of thousands of servers on the fediverse, there are about 200 or so which have administrations which actively support Naziism, Pedophilia, Terrorism, and other serious issues which #Moderation on mainstream Fedi blocks on sight.

     TechHub only blocks instances we see as a serious threat to our timeline / users, but we are old and I am thorough, and thus, we've accumulated a considerably large (200+) list of the WORST instances. I publish a curated and annotated version of this list so that #Staff / #FediAdmin s can see it, and potentially import all or part of our blocks.

     You can find it at...
     https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H6TljzFoEtZ23QE_vaGlJUl6bC7J1I4J/

     In light that moderation issues will increase as we near the US Election, I have just pushed another update. I HIGHLY recommend every admin look at this, and consider importing all or part of it.

     @Raccoon the "Hate Speech / Harassment" label is doing a lot of heavy lifting. There are multiple instances that do not deserve to be on this list but only exist because these instances host a few annoying edgelord users that could be individually blocked.
     
     The list of CP/pedo instances is appreciated though because I'd really prefer to not have to deal with the cops if they manage to get posts federated to my servers...

     UPDATE:
     Vetted and added a few more instances, mostly what was missing from Binbows' PediKill list.

     New list is at the same URL as the old one, can be imported on top of existing lists, see above post for details...

     https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H6TljzFoEtZ23QE_vaGlJUl6bC7J1I4J

     Reminder that this list is representative of instances where we have seen EXTREME behavior, beyond a single account: racial slurs, pedophilia, terrorism, CSAM, etc.

     This list is not exhaustive: it is everything WE have seen direct cases of behavior we would block over, and we try to block sparingly. Instances may have slipped through the cracks. Not being on this list is not an endorsement.

     This list is NEW. If anyone sees anything on this list that they feel was inappropriate, feel free to tell me, and I will go recheck it.

     Releasing a minor update to TechHub's public #Blocklist: added a couple things, fixed a couple issues. Making this available to other Fedi admins.

     Link is still the same...
     https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H6TljzFoEtZ23QE_vaGlJUl6bC7J1I4J/

     We recommend servers block these instances because they are known bad actors, where we have seen direct evidence of extreme levels of bigotry, harassment, and pedophilia.

     While you should look into every list you import, and I definitely encourage anyone importing this to skim the list and pay attention to the given reasons, I do not encourage going to the instances in question, as many contain illegal content such as terrorism and #CSAM.

     I release this list in the hopes of helping servers which are new or have less moderator-time get the known-offender instances off their timelines, especially ones which continually appear on the #FediBlock and #InstanceBlock tags.

     @feld
     Part of why I laid out the reasons that way is so you can easily have your spreadsheet sort them, and take or leave what you want. It's intended that you could easily pick out only specific kinds and go after them.

     As for the ones that do not deserve to be on this list, please tell me which ones, and I will remove them immediately and re-check them at a later date. You can do this in a DM if you want.

     Same goes to anyone else who thinks a server is on here mistakenly.

     @Raccoon That's a super admirable of you. Not many people would offer to do this. Everyone on fedi is so tribal, so I really respect that.
     
     I'll probably DM you tomorrow.
     
     Have a good night

     This is helpful. I've been looking for something like this so I can block all the p0rnz instead of having to find them one by one.
     
     Anyone else having recommendations please share.

     Zergling,
     
     Now I have one more instance to add to my own blocklist--yours. Thank you for the help.

     @octade @Raccoon lmao mastodongs are at it again
     https://blog.freespeechextremist.com/blog/fediunblock.html
     
     Probably half of the list is just "waaah I don't like you saying the nigger word", as usual.
     If you do want to block for that sort of reason (or any other particular reason), https://fba.ryona.agency [maybe down currently] may be of use, though I've never tried the second search. Or http://demo.fedilist.com/, with some good keywords.
     
     Alternately, attached is a list that I have saved (for later perusal, which I still haven't actually done) as "spambots", but IIRC it was intended to be a list of porn-posting bots, specifically... I think I got it from @jeffcliff?

     Zergling,
     
     Your injection of a pointless racial slur is the digital equivalent of standing in front of a packed auditorium and farting into the microphone. You deserve the stinky microphone award.
     
     Your anti-melanist joke is not edgy or cool. It is just dumb. But you obviously don't care, as long as you can broker attention from it.
     
     There is a better way to live; common courtesy; the golden rule. Look into that.
     
     P.S. You need Jesus.
