   @ben I do no blocking on my end. Everything is up to the instance admin.

     @freddy @ben It has been merged to Mastodon an option to import block list instance wide https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/20597

     It should be included in the next release and will provide an easier way for admins to auto block based on any list they want.

     @mastohost @ben very true. I’ll look into fediblock first.

     @freddy @mastohost I can also see how expanding into moderation services would be very different in terms of work and cost structure to pure hosting.

     @freddy @mastohost FWIW, I found this resource as a place to start. The malware/exploit servers at the top seem like a slam dunk auto-block to me. But I can see how there could be differences of opinion on some servers.

     @mastohost @ben did you consider offering this as part of your service? There could be separate lists for spam protection and abusive behavior.
