head's up, all of those sites you've blocked are on the gardenfence block list we use:

gardenfence.github.io/

Not involved but we avoid the worst of the worst by blocking those. Was checking them to see if maybe we'd missed some but no, those are known bad actors.

if you're going to block servers like this put them on your darkmoon.social/about page so the rest of the network can see what parts of the network you are blocked from communicating with

If you have to block people, I'd recommend blocking individuals over entire servers. I've written a post about Fediverse censorship and how it breaks everything:

also, there's no need to announce you're blocking someone. That's intentionally making a statement no one cares about. Just block and move on.

then it makes * no sense whatsoever * for you to not disclose which servers you are blocking on darkmoon.social/about

either you're giving other responsible admins a heads up (by disclosing them) or you aren't -- pick one

"nice" crew, muchinga and evening zoo are known troll instances. poast has a lot of legit users but it's sus. possibly a fed honeypot for nazis. the admin defedrated me for not enjoying his satanism, cannibalism and incest fetishes. clew.lol i don't think is a troll instance though. i haven't had any issues with that one. you'll figure all this stuff out in due time...

Furthermore, announcing which domains I'm blocking gives other responsible admins a heads-up about problem instances.


I can tell you're new here man. No, it really doesn't. No one really cares. It's an unnecessary signaling and honestly perpetuates a false sense of relevance. You are one tiny instance in a sea of thousands. I've been here for over eight years. That censorship will come back around to you eventually.

But whatever man. You're free to do as you wish. 🍻
