Instance-level Blocks
To provide a pleasant space for the community, we block federation at the instance level with other Mastodon sites known to:
- Present security or privacy risks
- Enable hate speech, violent speech, or other violent/hateful ideologies
- Enable harassment or abuse
- Propagate dangerous conspiracy theories
- Tolerate/host sexualized content that's illegal in the US (or other content illegal in the US)
- Enable spamming
We may also block followbots/federation bots, which passively undermine people's privacy expectations. These blocks are largely based on the list available at github.com/dzuk-mutant/blockchain.
