A place to share and discover Fediverse blocklists

Welcome! This community is for sharing, discovering and discussing blocklists across the Fediverse.

Blocklists can help people shape their own online experience by filtering accounts and communities that don’t align with their interests, preferences or the kind of environment they want to participate in.

An important note: Blocklist subscription and sharing functionality is currently a PyLova-specific feature. This community is therefore particularly useful for PyLova users and instance administrators, although anyone interested in blocklists and content filtering is welcome to participate.

Feel free to share your blocklists, announce updates, discuss ideas, ask questions, exchange experiences or simply introduce something you’ve found useful. Whether you’re creating and maintaining lists or looking for ways to customise your own experience, you’re welcome here.

We encourage list maintainers to explain what their lists cover, how entries are selected and how frequently they are reviewed. Transparency helps people make informed decisions about what they subscribe to.

Blocklists are personal filtering tools, not universal declarations about who should or shouldn’t be part of the Fediverse. Different people have different preferences, and that’s perfectly fine.

The goal is simple: make it easier for people to discover useful blocklists and shape their own Fediverse experience.

Post Flair

Please use post flair to help organise posts and make content easier to discover.

Suggested flairs include:

Blocklists – Sharing or announcing blocklists, including new lists and updates.
Discussion – Questions, conversations and exchange of ideas about blocklists, filtering and related topics.
Meta – Anything else, including community announcements, suggestions, feedback, organisational matters and broader Fediverse topics.

Please select the flair that best fits your post.

Community Rules

1. Be clear about your blocklist.

Describe its purpose, intended scope and inclusion criteria. Explain the types of accounts and communities it covers, and the behaviours or content that qualify for inclusion. This helps people understand what they’re subscribing to and decide whether the list aligns with their preferences.

2. No targeted harassment or brigading.

Blocklists should help people manage their own experience, not serve as tools for organising harassment, directing attacks or encouraging others to target specific users or communities.

3. Be open to corrections.

If an inclusion is challenged with relevant information or evidence, list maintainers are encouraged to review it. Entries that no longer meet the stated criteria should be reconsidered.

4. Instance rules still apply.

All Cozyverse instance rules and policies apply in this community, in addition to these community-specific rules.

Visibility: Public

This community can be federated to other instances and be posted/commented in by their users.
