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 likelihood of reaching/harming people on other instances (e.g. spewing toxicity in others' mentions, running block-notification bots, 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. Finally, I take into account controversy; in order for this blocklist to fulfill its purpose of widely defederating the worst actors, no entry on it should be too controversial outside of the parts of Fedi already likely to reach tier-0. + This list is **not comprehensive;** to keep this list small, I excluded many really bad instances.

For this to be possible, **entries must require minimal context.** If a dossier is necessary to understand why it's worth blocking an instance, no matter how bad it is, it's unlikely to reach FediNuke. 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.
