@host Any way of knowing why a specific instance has been blocked? right now the whole ban list is blank, which makes the whole process a bit more difficult to interpret.

The instance in particular here is infosec.exchange (with a bunch of people from there wondering why they can't follow me), but it could apply in a lot of different situations.

@MildaMatildaGames the field didnt always exist, and our block list predate that field by some years.

When we had it, trolls use the info there to harass us or start rumours etc.

For the info sec one, I dont remember, but early days, most of the info sec instance were lacking in the moderation area.

We can look at it again for that instance. We'll need a couple of days to check
