So, one thing I said at #FediMTL yesterday is that Fediverse software should ship with the IFTAS DNI list as the default, minimum blocklist. Ideally, the list should periodically auto-update.

If you *want* to see gore, racist harassment, or transphobia, you can consciously remove those sites from your blocklist. If you want to subscribe to a different blocklist, you should get to do that, too.

Fediverse admins shouldn't have to learn how to find the DNI list and install it the hard way.

@evan WordPress and BridgyFed offer it as a default option, would love to see more platforms educating their admins as to the basic why-you-might-want-a-denylist and offering recommended options.
@evan I also believe platforms that offer a "flagship" server should make /their/ denylist available at install, after all, they know a lot more about what they're seeing on the platform than anyone else. "We block these servers, you might want to, too'
@iftas this should happen this year for Mastodon

@renchap 👀 oooh, I'm very interested in this
