@clacke I don't know about that particular set, but most of the blocklists going around are poorly researched. If an admin is going to be diligent, those lists' quality is too low.
For example, they include sites that have never federated, sites whose "offense" is refusing to follow someone's call to block a third site, sites that have been closed for years, and sites where people from the blocklister's own site instigated trouble.
As an example, one recent list has "top 100" listed as a reason to block some sites.
Some of the vilest instances in the whole network (nearly equal in vileness to poa.st, nicecrew, beefyboys, and chud whatever) have admins and users that are among the most vocal #blockwars advocates.
