Seems to me that any support govts and advocacy groups are able to run up fedi resources to take up the slack and get young kids off toxic platforms and onto public spaces that are public funded and moderated with the sole purpose of keeping kids safe. It’s a no brainer.

Good news! We are now implementing the @iftas CARIAD 66% block list via IFTAS' FediCheck service.

This blocklist combines:

- The IFTAS *Do Not Interact* list, a list of instances that IFTAS highly recommends not to federate with
- A curated list of further domains that a selection high volume instances have defederated from.

There are 80%, 66% and 51% consensus levels available for the curated list. At this point we are syncing with the 66% consensus level.

At the moment we believe 66% is probably the right starting point, though if there's demonstratable value in reducing to 51% we'd consider doing so.

While the FediCheck service will simplify automated blocking of widely recognised offenders, it does not replace our own autonomous blocks based on what we observe and what is reported to us.

I believe the FediCheck service also allows our instance to automatically temporarily limit instances where we're seeing a spam wave or similar, but I need to look into it.

IFTAS have some really good resources, so some further reading if you're interested:
