And Admiral Patrick on the instance dubvee.org, but it is regional for the state of West Virginia in the USA (tho he might be willing to share his blocked list?).
I think PieFed gives reputation warning icons for entities it thinks are statistically bad actors.

Not sure how much you’d want to trust his list. During the Luigi incident many users were instance banned simply for supporting Luigi, and the bans stand to this day.

And instantly we arrive at the problem with these kinds of requests: how to exclude certain kinds of people, but only the right certain kinds of people, and preferably with no effort on our part?
I for one have yet to find a way.

they will probably need some kind of filter to allow things like luigi, unless its constantly spammed.

Not sure I like this though. That kinda stuff can just as easily be used to enforce echo chambers and censorship.

I think its good because some users really want that feature. But i think on by default for every user could encourages users to run multiple burner style accounts which is a huge problem for moderation and doesnt solve the problem users try to solve from tagging.
Example you might have me tagged as a Nazi because you dont want to interact or be subtly influenced by my less blatant comments. However if I knew everyone did this then I’d run one account for the blatant stuff and one account for blending in.
Its why I’m kind of against platform banning users instead of having individual blocks. Its better to bad actors known and operating in the open than to have them hiding and avoiding moderation.
