It's a block list. There's two main sides that I can see:

On one hand, it's being built by someone who's invested tons of time and energy into making Mastodon safe for marginalized communities. We wouldn't have the tools and communities we do without them.

On the other, lots of people found themselves on said block list and can't find a reason for being there. Lots of people are questioning why certain instances are on it and don't think they should be.

It's an ongoing issue with shared block lists. Anyone can block anyone they want, and we're not entitled to a reason. But if a lot of people adopt a block list without looking at who it's blocking and why, a lot of instances could potentially get blacked out.
