A reminder for anyone new to mastodon who might not be happy with some of the racist and bad actors out there on other servers... Just import the fediblock list to your personal blocks and you will be safe from the vast majority of bad actors.

I took all the domains from https://fediblock.neocities.org/ block list and put it in a csv file that can be imported so you can block all hateful instances. Download it [here](https://anonfiles.com/0088mcF8y8/blocked_domains_csv) ### How to import - go to settings - click on import & export - click on import - under import select domain blocking list - then select the csv file you downloaded - click upload **Boom** a friendly mastodon & fediverse experience :ablobsmilehappy:

If you oppose hate in all its forms except of course the forms that are considered acceptable by the establishment because those are just and right and good, implement all of fediblock, every last line.
@sj_zero If you know an instance on there that moderates against bad actors and therefore shouldnt be on the list feel free to let me know.
Not at all! The list is eternally incomplete!
@sj_zero It isnt meant to be exhastive, but its a good start if the goal is to get rid of the bulk of the trolls.
@freemo I have imported that, but how do i see the domains blocked in the gui? Nothing shows up anywhere apart from saying 123 domains are imported?
@freemo thanks. (supposing its legit as i haven't personally checked out any of those servers). BTW: that download link - clicking on the download button there simply redirects to a spam survey page - i needed to right click and download to get it to work.

@freemo
I like to give a try to explain for racists that neither science nor religion support racism and racism cause too much problems and tragedies in the world.
@freemo The instructions list a .csv format, but the download is a .vhd format. Is this correct?
@freemo @STORM mstdn.io is on the list for just a single account which has been blocked already πŸ€”

@freemo I like to live dangerously.

I'm mostly liberal when it comes to speech. So I don't mind seeing people being assholes.

Sometimes entertaining, but also can be educative. I like to see how this people think, even if it is just shit.

@freemo i'm not sure promoting a list which is full to the brim with accusations like "Soapbox FE" is good.
@bonifartius I promoted it because its the only list I know of that only adds entries if they have evidence documented... if you know a better list im all ears.
@freemo fair enough! was just surprised as the soapbox shaming of that list is as stupid as the "kiwifarms authored tool" reason :)
@freemo you have enough on your plate of course to do instead of searching for good blacklists for newbies ;)
@bonifartius So i just looked at the list... I do agree the soap box thing is nonsense but as far as I can tell no instances are blocked becaus eof it. In the notes it lists soap box but the reasons listed in each case is not soap box related.

@freemo yeah, maybe i misinterpreted it. still leaves a bit if a foul taste as alex is hated due to him being a "terf" and putting "soapbox fe" into the notes seems to be along the lines of "uses evil terf software".

so i still am no fan of the list as it is heavily over-blocking imo, but i not am forced to use it anyway :)

@bonifartius I would not have mentioned Soapbox if i ran the list... so yea....

@freemo dude your a fucking hero.. the proper way to censor is at the individual level of control !!!

Russians are human to.
so are Ukrainians stop the polorized shit fling among citizens in nations outside of these.

love always.

got a couple interesting things to share with you.

@freemo I wouldn't have a clue how to take that file and make it work. I use a phone. But when the weather warms to above 32 at night I will be going to Branson for an overnighter. I can log in on a computer then.

When I was on Twitter I blocked all the hatemongers. Everything was fine until Russia invaded Ukraine. Then I had a whole set of vatniks to block.

@freemo Why do you trust the people who compiled the list?
