based on the list of instances made by @[email protected] here - Thank you again for that work, it’s highly appreciated.

This is a preventive measure against massive amounts of accounts being created for botting purposes. Most instances banned appear to be 1 user instances so we don’t think this will have a great effect on anyone’s usage of Beehaw. If you are an admin of one of those instances, feel free to contact us at [email protected]

    There are a few different things I’d like to mention:

    • I don’t think, that there is such a thing as a massively defederated instance exists right now. The most blocked instance is blocked by about 11% of the instances, followed by two instances at 6%
    • Even if the die hard scene users would know their instances, not every random troll or spammer would.
    • This doesn’t address the possible legal issues of publicly announcing where someone could find illegal content
    • If “small queer instance” refers to beehaw… That’s the second largest instance there is as of today according to https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances

    And lastly: If you’re new to the fediverse you maybe shouldn’t run your own instance in first place. Helping reckless people pull reckless stunts is a bad reason to promote a feature.
