We will eventually post a federation policy on our /about and on docs.lubbock.social.

If you have any comments, opinions, or suggestions and would like to help inform this policy, feel free to reply to us or send a private mention.

Good afternoon, Lubbock.social!

We just finished importing a massive list of almost 500 domain blocks. This will not disrupt any existing relationships.

All the instances blocked were from a unified list of very common blocks across the Fediverse - this list entirely consisted of instances frequently flagged for bigotry, hate speech, harassment, spam, porn, gore, CSAM, and pedophilia.

As always, please use the Report feature if you encounter any harmful content, harassment, or spam.
