**Hello all Fedi Admins who have problems with spam!** # The Mute List 2.2.2 I have been updating the spam list and found ~104 additional instances that continued spamming! I, with lots of help of other Fedi Admins, have compiled the instances into a list which mutes them, and does **not** defederate from them! I'd highly appreciate a [small donation here](https://mastodon.de/@MastodonDE/110808633497349326) as I've worked really hard and long on creating this, which given my current schedule I can hardly justify! **Thanks!** There is a new type of spam, the same instances are affected as before. Those responsible in Japan are said to have been arrested. [Download the list here](https://github.com/Mastodon-DE/blocklists/blob/main/spam/2024-02-15/2024-02-15-spam-domain_mutes-erik-uden.csv). [Instructions and Explanation of the List](https://github.com/Mastodon-DE/blocklists/blob/main/spam/2024-02-15/2024-02-15-spam-mute-list.md). Once this list is imported, most of the spam is gone. The whole thing is easy for you, with just one click! In addition, no instance is blocked forever, no followers etc. are destroyed or unfollowed, only muted. You can simply import this list by going to `https://yourinstance.tld/admin/export_domain_blocks/new` and replacing `yourinstance.tld` with the domain of the instance you are the administrator of! Alternatively, you can also click on `Settings => Moderation => Federation => Import` to import this list. Note that although all instances can be imported with one click, these instances must be removed individually when the spam is over. Also note that it only makes sense to import this list and mute the spam instances if you have blocked your spam locally and permanently, as described [here](https://mastodon.de/@ErikUden/111940301222380638).
