@TheGoodSpace I would like to point out one more thing, which is this #FSEP proposal created 10th August 2023. In it, the authors propose integrating #TheBadSpace directly into the install flow of Fediverse platforms (Mastodon, Pleroma, etc) as a suggested starting point for block lists.

I feel that this is a critical but overlooked part of the discussion: you will not be able to simply "ignore" the site's existence if its creators continue with their stated goals.
