@freemo @BobMastodon @oliphant The block list was imported around 2 weeks ago... The drop in user activity is consistent with a number of servers and has zero to do with the fact we've imported a block list. It was imported because we saw a huge surge in instances posting CSAM and other abusive materials which we recognised to be on the block list.
Please stop stating these things as if you have any real data on this, when you clearly do not.
