   We use the CARIAD list from IFTAS, and it works great. I cannot remember the last time I saw harassment, grossout photos, or other terrible stuff.

   You can also set a Mastodon server to allow-list mode, which might be better for this kind of thing.

     @evan Qualified no. I think most open federation / blocklist servers cannot be locked down adequately to protect (inexperienced) users from seeing horrifying things, receiving harassment, and other age-inappropriate stuff. So if I interpret this as inviting your children to your existing server, I think this is generally a bad idea.

     I think that island networks / allowlist servers have potential for easing children onto the Fediverse, which is one reason I'd like one for my friends and family.
