My first worry: will this be a distraction from the maintenance and enhancement of the core Thunderbird product.

Asking as a long-suffering Firefox user.

Possibly a milking barn?

I will be watching for this. If so, I am NOT impressed. The admins from my instance are still dealing with the recent storm, so I will not ask them now.

What you are saying is similar to why it's almost impossible to run your own mail server because of how easy it is to be caught up in a spam block list.

@pawlicker @mattblaze @Shatter242
I just checked, defcon.social does list the their "moderated" list. Are you suggesting that the list is incomplete? How would you know?

@Shatter242 @mattblaze I don't, in general, like the idea of blocking a whole instance. Doing too much of it will likely be the end of the Fediverse.

Blocking a whole instance should be reserved for instances which by policy or (in)action are abhorrent. Please be selective.
