Also, to any new Fedi admins spinning up instances, remember, DO NOT import blocklists blindly without doing your due diligence.

The most widely used blocklist is by Oliphant, who has been proven time and time again to add to the blocklist for personal reasons and lie within the list.

Obviously this is harmful to those who do nothing wrong and end up on the list because of a personal beef.

    @BeAware@social.beaware.live Just got a report from @mastodon.online@mastodon.online against @pixelworld_ai@aipub.social simply reporting J’s entire recent messages. It’s:

    1. Weird
    2. Baseless
    3. Hiding behind a bot (but Mastodon does this defaultly, letting their users hide behind bots to other instances; why?)

      @shanie@tails.ch @pixelworld_ai@aipub.social it’s probably not a specific bot, just that a mastodon.online user reported them for some dumb reason and mastodon doesn’t show the reporters username for privacy, so every report would show like that.

      People are fucking weird.😒

        @BeAware@social.beaware.live Yeah I just realized that’s what’s going on, but that ‘privacy’ just makes it Oh! Exploitable! (And honestly if that’s how it’s going to be, that bot is best banned because I don’t want to deal with Mr. Big Server’s reports).

        @BeAware@social.beaware.live @shanie@tails.ch its funny how people think the entire fediverse is like old twitter where if they scream loud enough they can make someone disappear off the platform altogether, god I love the fediverse :pedro:
