Additional #FediBlock entries for spam:
*.gab.best*.4chan.icu*.fediversesearch.comFrom the same thread there also seems to be fake masto.host domains flying around, but a domain pattern block would affect legitimate servers.

For now I found and blocked 3 domains that are doing it: fediversesearch.com, gab.best, 4chan.icu
In database I have around 86000 subdomains of each, all looking random like 7gq0ke9560x0.gab.best

#FediBlock chudbuds.lol for run-of-the-mill alt-right content (racism, antisemitism, white supremacy, trolling) #FediBlock
#FediBlock marsey.club for transphobia
Excerpt from the About page:
Avoid creating trans gimmick accounts and "trolling" for (You)'s, we already have 5 and it's not really funny
I don't mind revisiting domain blocks on my server; today I put "poas.t" for reconsideration, within ten seconds their local timeline showed me an antisemitic meme, I guess it's staying on the block list. #FediBlock

#fediblock
Ying-yangs WRITING code to prevent free-speech.
They work to wall off their fedi instances from those that they themselves deem to be "unworthy".
There is no appeal process.
This is JUST LIKE #FACEBOOK & #TWITTER.
... your own instance can be blocked, if you do not block "unworthy" ones.
(They even have a website for the lists of "unworthy" instances.)

per FediUnblock:
"On the other hand, it takes like 10 seconds to pull down their (i.e. Fediblocks') JSON, shove it into a relay.yaml file as a whitelist, and run a relay that allows only the fediblocked instances. So I did that. A perfect inverse of fediblock, that increases the reach of instances that fediblock wants to block. There you have it, the first reason I've had to actually run an FSE relay: relay.freespeechextremist.com, a place for censored ideas."
One thing I really don't get about open social networks is "defederation" craze (on Diaspora it is more known as "shadowbanning") which is when one server blocks communication with another one.
I can get it when it happens as the last resort measure against spam attacks or other malicious interference but why on Earth any user would want it otherwise?
Would someone want cars hardwired not to drive to certain areas at all? Music players with censorship built-in blocking certain types of sounds from being played? E-mail which refuses to deliver messages to certain addresses?
There is damn blocklist (some platforms also have mute and ignore), use these as you like and stop your spreading your #fediblock bullshit. It is plain harmful for the network.
