In a matter of hours, I experienced the overwhelming intensity of hate speech full of racism, homophobia, nazifascism and antisemitism coming from poa.st, also from admins like @graf@poa.st. Defederating this kindergarten tolerating sociopathic behaviour on a systematic basis was the only logical thing to do in self-defence from these wannabe Illinois nazis. #fediblock#mastoadmin@admin@mastodon.bida.im@nebbia@admin@mastodon.cisti.org@ed@filippodb
If you do it that way, your users are going to see a whole load of disturbing shit. Oliphant has a set of blocklists you could look at, the bare minimum one gets the worst.
@fediblock this is exactly my problem. Out of respect for the users of any community I tried to ground my defederating decisions on direct experience in my community and not on lists of other admins. All this situation started from a discussion around a blocklist published here: https://social.platypush.tech/@blacklight/110173216606550825
Some people reacted with verbal violence to that list and that was the cue for me to defederate their instance, but any advice for a more effective process will be appreciated. 🤗
@gubi This is one of the best-known harassment sites. You will probably want to look in my pinned posts for links to lists of more, rather than waiting for them to find you.
@Stoat@gubi There's only fifty or so sites on the bare-minimum list... if you are so distrustful of other admins that you don't want to import it, it's not too onerous to look at them all first. (Turn off image retrieval on your browser first, as some of them may have child porn.)
