Now that far-right figures are back on Twitter, these instance pose a problem. Admins wishing to ban a single Twitter user will need to ban that user across over 100 different Twitter mirrors. Moreover, any interactions with bridged accounts are unseen by the account holder on Twitter. Twitter users may not have consented to such mirroring. Admins wishing to simply ban mass-Twitter-mirroring can import this list. [Bridges](https://seirdy.one/pb/bridges.txt) -: Bridges to other social media platforms, _excluding_ Twitter/X bridges, that aren't opt-in. Bridges to Nostr are common. These are excluded from tier0.csv as they're in a dedicated list. Nostr is especially worth blocking because most bridges don't appear to do significant moderation or delegate to relays that do, effectively requiring moderators to moderate the whole network in its unmoderated form and potentially duplicate their work across multiple Nostr bridges.

Privacy abuse, growth-mindsets, dark patterns, and a history of vendor lock-in are common (but not all universal) themes.

[Spammy subdomains](https://seirdy.one/pb/spammy-subdomains.txt) : These domains are often used for HTTP tunneling or short-lived spin-up-spin-down servers. Fediverse instances running on their subdomains almost certainly aren't in it for the long haul, and very frequently shut down within hours or days without doing a clean self-destruct. Note that this is not to be confused with traditional dynamic-DNS subdomains, which are often used for longer-lived servers (although some admins do understandably block those anyway).
