I am strongly considering switching to a self-hosted Mastodon instance, but apparently everyone who does gets to play whack-a-mole against an army of disgusting bigots for a while until they end up with a big enough list of defederated servers. Or they copy another server's block list as a starting point. Been seeing a lot of smaller server admins mentioning this.

Still mulling over the implications of being out on my own like that.
