I've been using the fedi-block-api for some time now. It's been a really helpful tool for me in determining which instances of federated platforms I want to make accounts on by making it easy to see what an instance blocks compared to who it is blocked by.

While the fedi-block-api is open source, I very much do not like the people behind it. Reasons being that the source code was initially hosted on KiwiFarms of all places, and the source code license containing a racial slur.

Thanks in advance for any help given.

Fediseer. Its a chain of trust system where instance admins rate other instance admins

That way the block list isn't maintained by one person. You decide who you trust and you can follow who they trust and blcok all the instances censured by anyone along that chain

what's "dark fedi"?

Basically the union of all the "freeze peach" bigotry-tolerant instances.

AKA if 4chan ran a part of the Fediverse

4chan culture with reddit formatting sounds like actual hell

These instances are mostly built on Pleroma/Misskey, not exactly like Reddit, but still.

Its a tool made by the community around poa.st and the old kiwifarms fedi instance

I am quite enjoying this website though, shout out to lol.lamp.wtf which is an instance which seems to exist only to block all other instances

The reason given is also great.
