That's not to say shared blocklists are a flawed project that should be torn down altogether: they're useful for all kinds of reasons. But I think anyone who's read "Seeing Like a State" will see in this example a system which--to obtain centralized legibility of a rhizomatic network--necessarily makes compromises which distort its view. It's not necessarily obvious to someone browsing these lists that a single-user instance was weighted identically to one with eight thousand MAUs.
