@[email protected] @timbray I gave up on crowdsourced blacklists long ago. My experience, in the context of email spam, is that eventually the admin has a tantrum and ends up blocking all of AWS or some shit.

Hmm interesting. Given the structure of the Fediverse, with thousands of instances, and the fact that brand-new troll instances pop up regularly, it'd be nice to have some sort of shared-block capability.

@timbray @jwz @lwndow the two places I’d look for ideas are, what did Usenet do for that kind of blocking, and what does @nova do (or anticipate doing) with/for Hachyderm?
