So, one thing I said at #FediMTL yesterday is that Fediverse software should ship with the IFTAS DNI list as the default, minimum blocklist. Ideally, the list should periodically auto-update.
If you *want* to see gore, racist harassment, or transphobia, you can consciously remove those sites from your blocklist. If you want to subscribe to a different blocklist, you should get to do that, too.
Fediverse admins shouldn't have to learn how to find the DNI list and install it the hard way.
IFTAS is *Independent* Federated Trust And Safety. It is a non-profit dedicated to improving user safety in the Fediverse and supporting the work of Fediverse moderators.
DNI is the "do not interact" blocklist maintained by IFTAS. It's a "worst of the worst" list that prevents interaction with, among other things, dedicated instances for racist, transphobic and homophobic trolls.
If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://cosocial.ca/users/evan/statuses/116131908583093897 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
