list of 500 most defederated fediverse instances

⚠️ this is not a verbatim block list. do not use it as such.

masterdon users really showing their true colours of banning everything they dont like

If admins are blocking instances which do not post content which is illegal, but only post things they do not like, the Fediverse will never be free. The only possibility is that everyone is creating his own instance (which will never happen).

Unfortunately many admins are using such lists exactly that way: They block these instances ....

Instance admins who are using this as a blocklist are terrible admins.

Please add my instance akm.longyap.name.my into the list, thanks

Such is their right, to use the internet as they see fit. More users should take control of what they choose to see and hear. I don't force other people to listen to me, they shouldn't force me to listen to them. That's the beauty of decentralization and operating your own server.

this is a list of instances which are blocked, if your instance is not publically blocked by other instances it is not on the list.

Would be ok for me, if users are blocking. It is not ok for me if servers are blocking for all their users. Users should make their own decisions

I understand this position and sympathize, but it could be a problem for admins if hateful or illegal content is hosted or cached on their servers (depending on where they reside in the world), as well as their own moral convictions (which are valid, like it or not). Find a server that meets as many of your values as possible — they are out there, if you're willing to look.

I take the listing here with pride and feel honored. ;-)

Joke aside. When I see such lists, I check entries individually, to be sure that what they claim is real and not fabricated or framed.

I am running my own server :-) I agree that, if an instance is hosting illegal content, the instance should/could be blocked to make sure that such content is not federated into your server. However, often instances are blocking servers even if there is no illegal content and there is no content which is against their (published) server rules, just because they are blocking everything which is on a certain blocklist.

Sure they can do whatever they want on their servers. However, that is not what the Fediverse should be. A place where everyone can say his opinion even if I do not have the same opinion or do not like it. If we do not play it that way, then the Fediverse is just a place with several bubbles and the people have not chance to see / to discuss things outside of their bubble.

However, that is not what the Fediverse should be.

I'm not going to argue with you, but this is just your opinion, and it's not what anyone else has to follow. Server admins have every right to block spammers, pornography, hate speech, holocaust denial, crypto-schemers, CP, harassing trolls, or any other actor they deem a negative to their community. You can't control them, and thank goodness for that.

You do not need to argue. You just need to accept that my opinion is my opinion and that I have the right to communicate it.

hey guys, just thought I'd let you know that this post represents my opinion

thanks

My server is built like this, if you disagree with someone just block them. Anything illegal (the European definition of illegal) will be handled by mods. It's that simple.
