@jsit was talking about this the other day, and I keep feeling like I shot this idea down too soon...

...but maybe that would be a good plan for some of these new and small instances, especially the ones that are trying to be safe spaces for minority groups. Get some momentum going, get some connections with other servers, get some contact with other server staffs, maybe eventually open it up.

Yeah, I think a federated whitelist would be a good idea.

Still, I'm looking at how many of these groups making block lists purport to be going after bigotry and harassment or whatever, but then you see them blocking a bunch of queer instances or black instances or something, and I wonder who might actually be trusted with this sort of thing. I can even imagine TechHub and Infosec showing up because someone with list access doesn't like the "techbros" or whatever...
