Sonny Blockett 🚫 💯 @blockchain@monsterpit.net

I am the restaurant, you are Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

It's Sonny Blockett's birthday today~! 🎊

Here's to one year of blocking, and hopefully many many more!

And here's to making sure hateful nutjobs and the like can't bullshit around the fediverse with impunity 💚

WE
WILL
NEVER
STOP

Added lists of Manosphere and Alt-Right buzzwords to the resources page! As well as an good summary on neo-reactionaries.

What is Weaponised Activism?

https://medium.com/@melissaryan/what-is-weaponization-836dc8b006b9

This post quickly and effectively points out the differences between alt-right activism and healthy, reasonable activism, and why the former cannot adequately be protected as free speech.

(I mean, this is separated from the bigoted rhetoric itself which is already a perfectly good reason.)

A blog post from Hope Note Hate US that might explain the ultimate question you might have been wondering on the fediverse: 'what's with all the anime stuff?'

Japan and the Alternative Right

Hey, if you like my work exposing hateful little losers on the fediverse and want to support me in some way, consider donating to my custom emoji project (Mutant Standard), which provides inclusivity and joy on the fediverse and elsewhere on the internet - https://mutant.tech/donate

I've migrated a lot more instances over to the new list today!

I've also broken off the resources into it's own page and added some links to lists of neo-nazi symbols and codewords!

More sexualised depictions of minors and harrassment~

I am now adding federation bots to BLOCKchain.

This is probably the only time that I will list individual entities instead of instances.

https://github.com/dzuk-mutant/blockchain/blob/master/list/list.md#federation-bots

You can now submit federation bots to me.

If you are an admin who uses federation bots, I would strongly recommend stopping or changing to a local-only ambassador-style bot that preserves post privacy.

Thoughts on blocklisting and the philosophies of free information.

It's not the best structured piece of writing about this, but feel it's an important thing to address and talk about.

Added a note about how deleted instances work:

https://github.com/dzuk-mutant/blockchain/blob/master/info/deleted_instances.md

It tuns out that my list is getting too long for Telegraph, so content will be migrated out of the Old List quicker than anticipated.

The Old List is still the definitive version for evidence, but you will find more and more links from Telegraph to the instance articles over on the New List to save space and migrate content over.

Added for harassment and illustrated sexualised depictions of children.

https://github.com/dzuk-mutant/blockchain/blob/master/list/instances/youkai_town/youkai_town.md

For illustrated child pornography and harrassment.

Details can be found here: https://github.com/dzuk-mutant/blockchain/blob/master/list/instances/loli_estate/loli_estate.md

(probably less about the government regulation though, although, we've seen it with big social media companies, there is probably not much preventing that happening to instances if this becomes more of a thing)

Jim Sterling mocks the recent public statement by Valve to not actively moderate content on Steam anymore.

This is about games, but is much more widely applicable and basically exemplifies why instances that may have otherwise friendly admins get blocklisted.
