@ -17,7 +17,11 @@ A much smaller semi-curated subset of pleroma.envs.net suitable for the majority
=> https://seirdy.one/pb/FediNuke.txt FediNuke.txt
A curated subset of tier0.csv, containing what I deem the "worse half" of it. This contains instances I really do recommend most people block, or at least avoid. I try to make it a suitable candidate for a "default blocklist", and use it as reference when I evaluate the quality of other blocklists. This list is not comprehensive; to keep this list small, I excluded many really bad instances. I take into account not just severity, but also notoriety and liklihood of reaching/harming people on other instances (e.g. spewing toxicity in others' mentions, running blockbots, etc). Bad instances that mostly keep to themselves are less likely to cause problems for a new admin, and therefore less likely to get included in this minimal list.

Criteria are not set in stone. Instances well-known for causing significant problems for many other instances, particularly for instances run by and for marginalized groups, may be added.
Some of these lists are also sources for the Oliphant blocklists:

@ -21,7 +21,11 @@ I maintain three blocklists for the Fediverse:
: A much smaller semi-curated subset of `pleroma.envs.net` suitable for the majority of instances wishing to uphold the Mastodon Covenant's moderation standards. I hope to make it a good starting point for your instance's blocklist, with wiggle room for your own adjustments. Regularly importing `tier0.csv` won't account for retractions; [a sibling blocklist for tier-0 retractions](https://seirdy.one/pb/tier0-retractions.csv) exists for [FediBlockHole](https://github.com/eigenmagic/fediblockhole) users. Note that this list is larger than the bare-minimum I recommend; that'd be FediNuke.
