The problem with a blanket Pleroma blocklist because "bad people" use it, is there are a lot of left-wing instances and hobby based instances that run it. Sure many of them moved to Akkoma, but a lot run vanilla Pleroma and the thing is, the developers of Pleroma are definitely not Nazis (see the Alex Gleason feud). I know for a fact most of the devs are LGBT and at least one former Pleroma dev was transgender. The same goes with soapbox, I know a trans person runs ap.maladaptive.art and it's blocked for being problematic just because of running Soapbox. The admin doesn't agree with Alexes views, but likes the UI of Soapbox and feels that it overcomes a barrier to fedi adoption.
Put it this way, this instance of mine that I don't use that often on a SPARC box (for a month long challenge of using old hardware) is now on that list because they just scraped all Pleroma instances.
