Addressing concerns with Blocklists

The use of blocklists by various groups and factions on Diaspora and similar distributed / decentralised social platforms is increasing. I'm an advocate of the practice.

There are also concerns raised. I have several myself.

I'd like this post to be a forum for discussing concerns and only concerns of blocklists, whether individual, informally shared, or at instance/pod or higher levels.

The purpose of this post is to identify problems, and propose solutions.

Problems would be issues of untended consequences or abuses of blocklisting.

OFF TOPIC are any of the following:

Defences of blocklists. (This post presumes legitimacy, the defence is not necessary.)
Individual appeals concerning profiles to be added/removed from lists.
Any particularly in-the-weeds discussions of viewpoints benefitted or harmed by blocklists. (General class/case mentions may be relevant, long or repeated mentions, discussions, complaints, discussions, etc., are not.)
Disruption, spamming, etc.

This discussion will be moderated with those aims in mind.

Many of those affected by this topic cannot comment here. This is a legitimate problem.

As a partial solution, I'll propose that re-shares or references to this post by blocked profiles can be linked back here in he discussion. Please use the full-qualified long link, including the hostname. There are a few profiles which seem to manage to straddle sufficient communities to be able to do this. I'll try to visit those links and re-share any substantive issues and solutions proposed.

This itself is one of the key problems with blocklists: Once blocked, a profile's access to even an appeals channel is severely limited.

Reshares are obviously encouraged.

It would appear that #theblocklist is only for people who's views are not in accord with the cabal!

Here is plenty of evidence that this is FAKE NEWS AND DISINFORMATION, whuffo@diasp.org does not care about uncomfortable truths.

Back Again The horse paste lovers are a self limiting phenomenon. Not only does it not protect them from Covid, it also causes sterility. It's a two-fer that makes Darwin smile.

I want to be a part of it!

I learn about this list:
https://diasp.eu/posts/ca92ea10ec910139f82b002590d8e506

I am shocked and humiliated.

Dear @Doc Edward Morbius,

After all this work, all these publications, I don't see why shoshin is part of this list and not me, when I have posted as much as her!
It's unfair and humiliating!
I demand to be part of this list as soon as possible.

If you don't do it for me, do it for yourself, for duty done.
Long life to Ivermertine!

Sysad.org seems to be the new NaturalNews disinformation / troll home

If you've seen a recent follow from 999999999@sysad.org, this is a "glue" account that has been trying to reconnect numerous propaganda, disinformation, spam, and troll accounts that were formerly on share.naturalnews.com, which seems to have gone offline as of late August.

From 9's profile page:

We switched D* pods cos the Natural News host server crashed and we jumped over to SysAd on September 5th, 2021. Thanks for having us. Looking forward to interacting here. Cheers!!

I don't have a pod admin contact for Sysad.org, and there's none listed on the site's inforamational page: https://sysad.org/

Pod stats list just under 1,000 montly active users (MAU), and open registrations: https://sysad.org/statistics

Recommendations:

Block 999999999@sysad.org This will prevent it from commenting on your own posts.
Monitor the profile's posts. It's likely new migratees will comment, like, or reshare these.
Get ready to start blocking more sysad.org profiles and deleting comments to your posts.

I'm not convinced Sysad is fully black hat, but it's quite clearly poorly administered. Site-level blocks may be justified if that trend continues.

And if the sysad.org podmin is reading this: Put up some contact information so you can be informed directly of abuse. For your own sake and that of legitimate and good-faith users of your system. Thanks, both from me an on their behalf.
